Thanks guys, I'll pass the well wishes along. I remember Tommy telling us once right after his twins were born that someone on the forum offered to give blood for the transfusion that was necessary. I don't know if whoever that was is still around here, but if you are you should know that Tommy would still talk about how grateful he was for that
The one happy thing I can add, is that 3 years later the twins are in good health
Tom was sweet enough to share his journey when the twins were born, we all loved the updates and the photos.
My buddy Tommy (autogeek username trhland) introduced me to this forum a few years back and I was always able to find answers to any of my detailing questions on here but I never signed up until now.
The reason I finally did is because I wanted to let everyone know that Tommy unfortunately passed away this past Monday at 39 years old, leaving behind his 3 kids.
Tommy always said how he felt like he had real friends on the forum not just a group of people who could answer each others questions about trucks & cars.
Because of that, I wanted to let everyone know about his passing and also share a link to a campaign created by a friend of his trying to raise money for Tommy's kids.
Here's the link -
Tommy Hoehl Kids by Roger Sahoury
I know times are tough for most of us, but any little bit would help, Tommy's kids meant everything to him, he was a good, hard working, funny guy who will be missed by his friends, family, and customers.
Occasionally a member's name or handle will pop in my mind and in this case; trhland. I had some great online conversations with Tom and I truly loved the avatar of his little girl sitting on the pumpkin, such a great fall shot.
I hadn't seen him in a while so I did a member search and was shocked to find Tom had passed away! Tom was very young and had a wife and very young children so this was so sad to see!
Tom, I was away for a while and I'd like to extend my sincerest condolences to your wife and children. You were a great guy and I always enjoyed reading your contributions to the forum and the private messages we exchanged...
You are sorely missed...
Rest In Peace my friend,
