A sad loss indeed. Seemed like such a nice man who clearly gave hope and positives at a time of real lack of good news, and leaves behind a legacy most could only dream of. |

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Just a really lovely, modest man who led by example and brought hope to people during one of the most challenging times. More inspiring than anybody else I can think about at the moment.
RIP, Sir Tom! |

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills,
For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding,
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head!
It is some dream that on the deck,
You’ve fallen cold and dead.
This is the meme that was sent to me with the great man's face on it. Walt Whitman does seem relevant just now.
Safe journey Tom.
