We apologize if you receive more than one copy of this notice.
It is important that we reach all of Tom and Tammi's extended family and friends.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Tom's passing Sunday morning. (4/22/07)
You all know Tom as the happiest, friendliest, nicest guy,
and most of you know how deeply in love he was with Tammi.

Many of Tom and Tammi's family are here in Southern California now,
and arrangements are being made for a Memorial & Celebration of Tom's Life this Sunday, April 29th, at Perris Valley Skydiving.

2:00 Dirt-dive for the Ash Dive, organized by Rich Grimm

2:30 Take-off for the Ash Dive.

3:00 Ash Dive will take place.

Following the ash dive, all family and friends will gather by the pool to honor Tom's memory with words, pictures, and stories.
We invite everyone who wishes to share something about Tom to please come up and speak.
If you have photos you'd like to share, we encourage you to bring some,
or you can e-mail photos to janet Lundquist at

I still don't know the details but I can't imagine that Tom is gone. He always had a smile on his face. This one is also from the 300 way event; he was sunburned but still smiling.

We'll miss you Tom.

We gave Tom a glorious send off yesterday.

His family loved being around his jumping family and hearing some great, funny stories.

Tammi held up incredible and was a rock.

Thanks to everyone that shared the day with us.

Fly Free my friend!
