TOM WAS A DIST 3 RACER FOR MANY YEARS. HE WAS IN A SNOWMOBILE ACCIDENT YEARS AGO N IS IN WHEEL CHAIR. HE ISNT DOING WELL AND COULD USE COMAPNY. hE IS AT THE PINES REHAB OFF HOLLAND AVE IN UTICA. sTOP BY AND VISIT HIM AND SHOOT THE ****, dONT TELL HIM i POSTED THIS OR HE MAY GET UPSET. hE REALLY NEEDS SOME PEOPLE TO Talk to him. He is very unhappy, he has had a rough last 10 years. infections after infections months in hiospital he is alone with his 3 kids and is in a bad way. Not asking for anything  but a stop by and say hello. he would really do better having company. Tom was always good to me and I do what I can for him but i work 40 and travel 2 hours and I have 4 kids and wife and can only give him limited time.

If you know him weither call the pines and talk to him or  better yet stop by. I love tom and wished i could do more for him. we built a bike for him to ride and he rode it at royal but was upset because he thought he could be competitive in an am class, but had difficulty staying on bike at race sped since he is paralyzed from belly down. his parents are not in ny and his wife is gone, he lost toouch with most of his friends as he didnt want to burden anyone with his deporession. Please dont mention anything i am saying or he may become even more depressed.

well anyways io hope me posting this isnt out of line just trying to help a great ,motocross racer. tom was a good racer that would help anyone. i would love motorcycles they way i do if I hadnt lived near tom when a kid. i thought he was a fast rider.. Not as fast as that rice guy but tom held his own. i think he got a 3rd in his first expert moto at bing.
