Default Tom Billigen died last night

I know that Tom was a member here for quite a while...and then differences of opinion happened...

I have had continuing conversations with him...due to the fact that he had leukemia and had undergone a stem cell transplant...so he and my daughter shared some of the same problems and medications.

No matter what you think of what happened in the past...we have lost a really neat guy...

Rest in peace Tom...the hurting is over.

That does suck! I also did not know he was ill. As outspoken as he may have been to some people, he was still a very cool car guy! God rest his soul and my condolences to his family as well.

I was fortunate enough to spend some time with Tom on two different occasions in the past few years. I enjoyed his company and his outspoken personality. He will indeed be missed. My sincere condolences go out to Robin and son Tom.

Wow. Goes to show you that as "Car Nuts" we really need to chill with each other and enjoy these cars!

His family will be in our prayers,

I dealt with Tom at one point and had several emails with him. Real honest guy and a true drag racer at heart! Real sorry about our loss. Hopefully being a very sorrowful situation this is and knowing Tom will be missed by ALL musclecar sites this can bring our great hobby together. All of us have faults and short commings but once we realize we are not in control and only Christ has that power we will become a much stronger and happier human being. Obviously he will be missed by all sites. Life is short and unfair. I think it is time that all of us try to make mends with our friends and sometime foes. Sam
