808 0 #10 January 2, 2007 Tom was sorely missed this past season at the Perrine. In my opinion, Tom accomplished one of the most remarkable feats in BASE Jumping. I remember making an early morning jump with him during the fall of 2004. This is when Tom was doing 4 jumps a day from early May to mid November and was as quiet as church mouse about the whole endeavor. While we were walking out on the bridge I was commenting on how the winds were usually calm during the early morning hours. To which Tom replied, " yeah, I have only had to miss two days of jumping due to the winds." I was like what? That's abusive! I thought for sure he was shitin' me. He wasn't! At that time Tom had made ( if my memory serves me correctly) somewhere pushing 700 jumps. All of them packed and just about all of them climb outs. He would make 4 in the morning starting around 5:30am and then pack all of them in the afternoon. He didn't do unpacked jumps. To pay homage to Tom, this past summer I tried to make at least one jump everyday. Most of these jumps were unpacked and I still failed at accomplishing this goal. I don't know how he did it.

hollyhjb 0 #11 January 3, 2007 I was home for the holidays, and I made sure to dedicate a jump off the bridge to him on the 31st. He had some impeccable timing as I will never forget the day I found out he had left us, and I am just grateful I got to spend some of my life with him. I miss him sorely, as well do all of his friends that I know. He left so much for us and I still run into little things of his, gear and stuff as well as memories, all the time."I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeatlast 0 #13 January 4, 2007 True ... Tom really had class ... He handed me a packet once when i was busy talking to someone and simply said "all my friends carry knives" ... I opened the packet about an hour later, once the guy who i was chatting with had left ... I still keep the pocket knife from that packet with me every day ...
