I always loved his siggy - I'm a 75 year old nutjob.
He was 75 for many years.
Any idea how old Tommy actually was when he passed. ???

He's been a fixture on these boards for many years.
They must have taken him home to Ireland.
I thought they retired to live on the Canary Islands.
Condolences to Irene, and family.

I've been reading his posts since the CW days. Hard to believe he's gone.
RIP

Tommy last posted on the board where he and I first "met" online on 12th November. I don't think he'd mind, in the circumstances, that I describe the post. It was one of his joke images of two wild-haired men with just the remnant of their clothing still on them, sitting on a tiny island with a coconut tree behind them. Coconuts have fallen from the tree and are gathered in a huge pile. One of the men is handing a round gift-wrapped present to the other with the words, "You can't open it till your birthday - it's a surprise".
That last post was the final post in every sense.
The death notice is here. He passed away on 12th November, surrounded by family.
I just popped in to report the same sad news. I posted on his joke page asking if everything was OK, and just received a message from a friend of his saying he had passed.
I'm so sorry to those who knew and loved him. It sounds like he will leave a big hole in the CS forums. Maybe people can still post jokes in his thread, to keep his memory alive.
R.I.P Tommy

imastawka, Tommy and Irene went back and worth between the Canary Islands and Ireland. Primarily it was for health care reasons, to be within reach of particular hospitals.
They certainly loved the warm hot weather. He used to taunt us with photos of the temperature being displayed on a large billboard-style sign, particularly during our Melbourne winters. I - as a heatophobe - wasn't envious as I like a nice 22ยฐ C.
@domino, Tommy was, I believe, 25 years old but inside an 81-year-old body. Correction: I've just double-checked, and hs profile says 99, yet I was sure I'd read 81 in one of his posts.
