Holy sh&t. This is such terrible news. I posted to Tom to ask what the community could do to help avsim, not just financially but with any other resources or talents. People can do amazing things when the need calls.

Oh Cripes , I guess its a hard thing to share with so many here ... l

Very sad news, indeed.

He and Avsim are major pillars of our hobby, from way back - this is very sad news. Cudos to him for thinking of Avsim at a time like this. As Neil said, "I hope the time he has left is full of meaning. smiles, love, and family, and with as little pain as possible." Certainly be thinking of him.

Hard to find words to express my feelings about this heartbreaking news...

I would therefore also like to wholeheartedly echo Neil's words " may the time he has left be full of meaning. smiles, love, and family, and with as little pain as possible ". And what a brave man he is even keeping a humorous stance and still thinking of the future of Avsim as the most important issue of his announcement...

Tom is a monument in the flightsim community and will stay so forever, you couldn't have said it better, Navtech.

It saddens me very much to hear this. Tom, you are in my prayers, and I hope you can spend the time with those you love, without pain.

Very sad to hear this.

Being in my 4th year of remission after my second chemo treatment, this is painful. Not for myself, but I cannot help myself but feel intensely for people who suffer from this horrible disease...

My most positive thoughts go out to Tom and his loved ones.

When we are born, we do not know how many lives our single life will touch because our world is so small. As we grow, our world expands and so do the lives
that we will touch. Tom's life and work have touched millions in many different ways and continue to do so! In our prayers and thoughts....

[stovall]

Very sad indeed. Tom is in my thoughts.

[Lewis-A2A]

Very Sad to see this pop up from Tom on my fb feed, shocked total shock.

[txnetcop]

I used to be a pastor many years ago. I used to tell people that death is a natural part of life for everyone and everything...it's just hard to leave the company of those you love. I was also a hospital chaplain in a terminal children's ward. Death is never fair, it always hurts the ones you love and the one that departs the adventure life holds. Tom is legend in his own time and will remain so long after his death. What he has provide for the enjoyment of so many will never be forgotten as long as their is flight simulation. Because of some things I have experienced I believe in a hereafter so I wish Tom Godspeed on a new adventure.
