a great friend

["Jack and Andrea Holland" <>]

Sue, the news this morning came as a very great shock for me - I was 
devastated to hear this had happened to someone still so young and seemingly 
fit and with still so much life to live and birds to see.  Tom was a very 
popular and highly respected member of COG, we shall all miss him and his 
cheerful disposition very deeply.
Tom was never one to push himself to the fore, yet he was a great worker for 
COG and many members will have had contact with him and benefited from his 
wisdom, humour and enthusiasm.  I'm sure that all members and subscribers to 
this chat line with join with me, as President of COG, in passing on our 
very sincerest condolences to Jane and her family.
Tom was to have lead the mid week outing to Newline tomorrow morning.  As a 
mark of respect, this has been cancelled.  Following his presentation at the 
November meeting I'll never be able to see another whiteface without fondly 
remembering Tom.
