Very sad news. Tom was a neighbor of mine when I lived in Kenwood. I never actually met him, but saw him as I drove by a few time and we would both smile and wave. My landlord knew him and shared some fun stories. Tom and Dick put on a great show up in Tahoe where they played from time to time. Good time man, great soul, and a big, big loss.
