Ziggy Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 What terribly sad news, I wish him and his family all the very best, I really hope the Avsim site will continue on as it has been so incredibly helpful for so very many of us simmers. A really great thing Mr. Allensworth started with Avsim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdguy Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Bad day today. This and then earlier today got the news that the wife of one of my former troops died. It's hard to know what to say except to express your condolences. Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest M31 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Sorry to hear that Tom was very outspoken and vocal at times and made some bad decisions for his site IMHO and I handed in my keys voluntarily to Avsim a long time ago before I lost it and got banned ... but I'd not wish that upon anyone, friend or foe. I hope he finds peace with his last time on Earth ... the slate is wiped clean here (even though we never knew each other) and no more grudges.

COBS Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 My heart goes out to Mr Allensworth , like most of us , I wish that there were cures. I have nothing but respect for both him and the AVSIM site. I have spent and enjoyed endless hours at the Panel forum learning to create instruments - gauges.

Matthew Kane Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 This is very sad news, I've spent lots of years over there on AVSIM and appreciate Tom's contributions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmb Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Jon Patch was a shock, this is another one. I still remember Rich Harvey. I took the occasion for another donation. Only I can do. Kind regards, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominique Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 . I still remember Rich Harvey I do too, what a great guy ! Died so young. Tom A. is one of the founding fathers of this hobby and after he's gone there will be a big hole in the fabric... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfd Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 We all have our own thoughts on AVSIM as an entity. Truth be told, if you want information on just about anything flight sim, you are most likely to find it there. It is, indeed, the largest repository of flight simulation knowledge anywhere. Heartfelt wishes to the man and his loved ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodperson36 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I feel so bad for him. I also should state that we all should take a life lesson in here and try no to be mean to each other wether we agree to disagree we should always try to be nice and kind. This world is filed with so much hate already and we never know when that person will be gone from this life. Thank you avsim for all the freeware you give us and Tom we will keep you in our prayers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I've probably been at 3 to 4 Avsim conferences and met him many times ---I wonder if they'll keep on with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
