This is a photo of Colleen Pipke, Pat Weber and Tom at Tommy Mason's match. There should be some more pics of Tom and his rebar rifle. RIP Tom.

Here's a pic of Tom at the 2011 ISSA Schuetzenfest after he shot a 250 with his re-bar barreled rifle.
He was a good guy and will be truly missed.
Rest in peace Tom

There are indeed two Americas. Simply put, it is not the haves and have nots. The two Americans are in reality divided into those who do and those who don't.

My Buddy Tom...
Another picture of Tom and the Rebar rifle along with a 250. Going to miss the stories. He was always waiting for an opportunity to have an audience to tell stories or a victim to tell a few lies..
Lots of great memories travelling and shooting.
Rest in Peace Buddy!

I had the privilege to witness Tom shooting that target and signing it which he shot at the Stars and Stripes range.  I was on a different relay and was scanning the active competitors targets when I noticed that Tom had a great target in progress. It was the first of the two targets in that match. It was hard to tell how many shots were on the target, but I knew that once he moved to the lower second target, he would have his 10 shots.  It must have taken him close to 20 minutes to fire shot 10. I kept watching him look through the scope then look up at the flags then take a sip of coffee? When he took that shot you could see him finally relax. The relay was close to being over so he had to rush his second target. 
RIP.  Tom

I learned of Tom's passing about 2 weeks ago from Jack. 

As said, he was a very unique guy. He was very funny and out spoken. Him and Ron and a bit of Scotch, would have anyone laughing!!! 

I also loved his posts on FB about the US and Canadian Gov't. Again very funny but, serious and spot on.

I was also honored to have signed that target. That's my name at the bottom of the 3 at 10 o'clock.

RIP Tom, you are missed.
