He was great, and the only reason I made it back. It was an experience I'll never forget. Just wish I could of held up my end by getting past first round. I only got to know him for a short time, but he left a lasting impression on me that I'll always remember. RIP Tom, and God speed..

He sounds like he was a racer`s racer for sure!
