Just saw a wall post on Tom stamboski's FB page (user "STAMBO") I do have not seen any details about what happened all I know is that he passed away yesterday. Another one of us taken away much too young.

Indeed very scary, he was just here the other day posting, per his history.
RIP -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

Really sobering news to receive on a Sunday. My prayers and condolences to his family. Tom's presence will be missed here - not to mention in his community.

This kind of hit me hard.......never knew the guy, but sobered by the loss of a young life. I hope his circumstances weren't menacing and that he went peacefully...RIP man, you and your contribution to this community will not be forgotten.

His family is keeping the circumstances private for the time being.
Tom was a great guy that we were blessed to have met and he will be missed both here and at the Midwest meets. Rest well Tom. -------------------- ~bloodMoney
