Tom Richardson was a "force of nature". He spent his life helping people, including me. He was not an active ham. He got his license to help with emergency communications. He just had too many things to do and was not able to devote much time to ham radio. That's OK though. He was a good man. As I write this he has been gone for six years. I still miss my friend and will always will think of him fondly. Tom is on the left.
