One of my favorites, I always looked forward to the "Last Page" and loved the editorials he use to pen.

R.I.P Tom

That is sad. I met Tom in 1989 when he shot my L78 convert for the cover of Musclecar Review. Said it was the first real one he had ever seen. Really nice guy. Ran into him years later.

My wife and I were very sad to hear of his death. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif

I just heard about Tom's passing. I worked with Tom and Paul Zazarine at Dobbs Publishing from 1990 to 1994. At the time Tom was the editor of Musclecar Review and I was the technical editor for Musclecar Review and Mopar Muscle. Those were fun times in the heyday of the musclecar magazine craze. Tom was entertaining to work with, so say the least. He was always editing articles I wrote into his unique form of English (which usually ignored most of the basic rules we all learned in high school). Luckily the editorial assistant (who eventually became my wife of 23+ years, so far) would intercept his edits and then convert them back into standard English so our readers would understand what the heck we were all trying to say. He was a fun guy to work with.

Very Sad to hear. Prayers for Him &amp; His family.
I really liked his editorials and often he wrote passionately about our collective admiration of these rolling works of art in all forms.

RIP

Sorry to read the sad news, prayers and condolences to Tom's family and many friends.
His passion and dedication not only touched countless car guy lives through the years but also helped refine our taste and appreciation of stock musclecars.

Thank you Tom and RIP.

My favorite Last Page he wrote was called I Am A Muscle Car Guy. It's me put into words. Mr. Shaw was a true Car Guy. May he RIP.

Wow, terrible news, I first met Tom at a Year One event back in 2000 and talked to him on and off when I was working at Petersen Publishing. He was an interesting guy and IIRC had a diesel Benz as his daily driver, which was intriguing for a musclecar guy. Godspeed Tom.

I heard about it last week.
Tom was a true gentleman and a car guy through and through.
He was always helpful and a friend to me.
Rest in Peace Tom - you will be missed.

I met Tom 20 years ago at the Pure Stock Drags. He was a very kind and gentle man with an exceptional talent for writing what we musclecar people often feel. I will miss him!

I will include a link to his obituary and guest book. If this doesn't work could someone please fix it.

Very sad! I worked with Tom back in 1996 when he agreed to publish a small pic and announcement about the Yenko Deuce Registry - it took off from there, got a call from Schoneye after that issue hit the mail. Tom was good about bouncing articles off of folks who were dedicated to a specific marque, I respected him for that. And, who can argue with his coverage about on the PSMCDR!

He is already missed....

T'was sad to hear. Growing up with his articles, reports &amp; editorials made me part of who I am as an enthusiast. R.I.P. Tom.
