A Farewell to Tom Wood (parkcitytom)

[thbeck1]

Well, I've known Tom (& Mayhem) for 12 years. What a shock. Tom's ready wit and insight will be missed.

Before the M3, Tom had a Corvette (C4 or C5; I don't remember). One of the reasons he got rid of it was he couldn't take the whole family along. After it, all vehicles had to have 4 doors. As much as he loved his toys, the family came first.

I last talked to Tom about 2 weeks ago, just after he went to track day with apexassasin. He was jazzed, and looking forward to going back with Mayhem to exercise the M5.

Tom's also the one who got me interested in BMWs. I had never driven one before; he let me drive his and I had a great time; shortly later my M3 was on order.

I'll miss him, but he won't be forgotten.

- Tom -

Copied thread to the 'The collection of best threads' to keep Tom at the top of the messageboard.

Accept my deepest sympathies.
From all the posts, it is easy to see your dad was a well liked and respected man.

May God bless you and your family.

Thanks to Gustav and moderators for preserving this thread and Tom's memory in the "collection of best threads". I know the title best threads, doesn't fit by any stretch of the imagination, but I am glad to see it there. Thanks.

Here I am just starting to go through the board in detail and I couldn't believe it when I saw this thread. As I clicked I was hoping the title didn't mean what I thought it might.

I am shocked and saddened to read this. I had a few pleasant exchanges from Tom -- he was one of the people who made this board a truly great place.

I am sorry for your loss.

This is my first post. I'd like to express my condolences to you and your family. I've been looking at getting a M5 for almost a year now. My work situation has prevented me from doing so, but I've always been a fan of this board. I've enjoyed reading thread on here especially the ones by ParkCityTom. He seemed so excited to post about things he's found out about the car or mods he's put on the beast. I felt like I knew him. It's amazing how a car can create a family. I hope that reading these posts about how great your dad was will bring peace and comfort to you and your family.
