Raising glasses for Tommy

[johnny1488 1]

Its late, but a bunch of ranch jumpers got together at Puck Fair tonight (as we do many thursdays, thanks Pauli!) and we raised or glasses for Tommy Colaneri. I didn't even realize I knew Tommy until 2 days ago. I had glazed over the thread in the incident forum for a month until I made the conection and looked at the badfish website.

I havent had a drink in about 4 years or so but I had 2 tonight. Maybe its just me but I felt it a fitting sacrifice for a friend I never got to know as well as I'ld have liked.

If you have a drink, or even if you dont, give a shout for Tommy tonight. We would do good to have more people like him in this world.

Tommy jumped with his own brother johnny, me, my brother, and who knows who else at Bay Area Skydiving for a short time. He was kindof a spaz for a while ... in a "that guys gonna be hot shit some day"...sorta way.

Raises Glass... Peace out Bro!

Tommy's someday had come. He was really smokin in the air this last year and we had a blast!! 9th place at Nationals in the intermediates had Badfish written all over it!

Thanks for raising a glass! I raise my glass every night for Tommy! I miss him so much!

Tommy's website you guys did was very touching. It brought tears to my eyes, even though I never had the opportunity to meet him.

Johnny, You rock for writing this!!
Thanks man, it's so cool to see random stuff posted here and there about a good friend. I am not surprised you all felt the need to raise a glass and reflect on Tommy's magic again.
Touching indeed, thank you for sharing!!

I agree. It's very touching. I spent one night looking at the video's that were made in his honor, and I was very moved. It made me cry. I even reflected on my late best friend's death 5 years ago (in a car accident), especially since we also played Sara McLachlan's angelic music in her memory.

Here's to Tommy (raising my own glass)!

Pete Draper,

Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

Sitting here at just after 2 AM. Have a Rolling Rock in hand....just tipped it up for Tommy. Never met the guy but I can say this. I hope I have friends half as good as his when I go. Those videos are something else.
