Is particularly sobering for me because three of us FDPers hung out every now and again, mostly for shooting trips - Mike (MJB), TeleThom (Tom Roehl) and myself. I was the youngest, but not tremendously so. They pulled together and supported me when I lost my wife in 2015, and Mike moved to FL the next year.
First we lost Tom to a freak accident just a few weeks after he retired. And now Mike.
I guess I’m getting to that age.

Your departure has saddened us all, leaving this realm we call life is a mystery that leaves us all at a loss. I have always felt, known, that the soul is separate from the body. What form or shape it takes is a mystery we only understand when we depart from our loved ones and friends. It serves to remind us that each day is a gift, endeavor to enjoy every one. We shall meet again.
Give Jimi a hug from us all, and make a little more room on the stage.

I met Tom in person years ago.
I don’t think recall the accident. Was it a ladder incident?

I met Tom in person years ago. I don’t think recall the accident. Was it a ladder incident? He fell down the basement stairs. He had poor balance due to medical issues, and his wife didn’t hear him go down. It was horrible, he had just retired a few weeks before.

I didn’t remember.
How terrible for her to find him.

I remember that TeleThom had passed away but didn't realize it was an accident. How tragic.

Very, very sad. Condolences to his family. He fought the fight and that's all anyone can do.
