Tom Brennan(Tom B)
« on: July 21, 2009, 06:17:31 pm »
I heard the other day that Tom is under Hospice care now. :(  He was diagnosed with a brain tumor about 2 years ago. His Dad brought him to my camp-o-rama last year and he and his son Patrick were at the Classic and at Hickory.
  Alan Brown called me the other day to tell me about Tom and he was going to visit him. Alan will be at the camp-o-rama so I'll find out more info then.
   Please keep Tom in your thoughts and prayers.

I hate to hear that, he's seemed to be doing much better for awhile. He's been through more than anyone should have to go through.

Tell him my thoughts and prayers are with Tom and the family.

I've lost my two best buddies since childhood to cancer a few years back, and now another close friend has a lung cancer/brain tumor diagnosis since couple of months; all three in their early/mid fourties.

Thats some sad news :'( I met Tom at Pappy's this year and had several conversations with him. He is a
true gentleman with a big heart. I will keep him and his family in my thoughts.

I hate to hear that after everyone at the Classic was saying how well he was doing. I like Dana ,happened to meet him and Patrick in the knapping pit. I have  a lot of respect for a father that took the time to let his son pursue his interests with full support. I'll be thinking about Tom and Patrick and hope he can fight it again.

I talked to Tom on the phone Sunday evening. He sounded weak and told me he had lost the use of his left side. We talked for about 10 minutes. I didn't get any medical details but he seems to be slipping faster than before.  I'll keep ya'll posted.  :(
