I know he had been sick a while and his wife passed away earlier this year. RIP
He was a super guy. Sorry to hear this.
Tom was a super guy, and a great dealer.
Always took the time to make sure you understood what you were asking about.
He will be missed.
RIP

Agree.
I got some of my best daggers from him. I visited his business in Fredericksburg many times.
Dave
He was one of the good ones.
Always courteous and had time to help newbies. As a human being (emphasis on human), he made mistakes but was always prepared to correct any.
I will miss him.

I want to thank you all for your wonderful words in this sad time. His passing was a surprise to us as to timing. His nephew had just left Fredericksberg after a heath check visit and while not doing great, was up and around. So it was unexpected. For the many asking, John Davis is going to take over the business as Tom wanted it to continue and I will continue in partnership with John. We will need a couple of weeks to sort out Featured items for the website, but the listings in the catalog and web site will continue as usual. Ron Weinand
hi, Ron,
Long time no see. Thanks for the kind words.
I hope Mr. Davis will stop by.
Dave
I just found out about Tom's death and am greatly saddened by it. I have known him for many years and had nothing but positive experiences with him. He was 100% honest and always willing to help other collectors. I have had the pleasure of making many good friends in connection with collecting, and Tom will always rank with the best.
Tom will be remembered as one who contributed in a positive way and who was a true friend to all who knew him.

sorry I am late on this but he was a very good man and will be missed
