I don't know Tommy, but I had a look at his facebook joke page. After posting multiple times a day, every day, there has been nothing for 6 days. I did a bit of stalking, but couldn't find anything. Maybe someone could send his wife Irene a message?

I joined the page, so if anything is posted, I'll let you all know.

Oh no ...    I didn't see that post about Tommy and cancer so it has come as a shock.  Poor Tommy .. always so wonderfully "wild" and bubbly and could always bounce his jokes in different directions.

If you don't get back here Tommy, wherever you are, thank you for making Community Spirit just that little bit different from where you were ....

I am so sorry to report the bad news.

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.
