Frank Sellitto Posted January 8, 2017 Share #2 Posted January 8, 2017 Sorry to hear the news. A big fan of his on Rangefinder Forum.com. Contributed a great deal to the analog community. Thank you for sharing Charlie and for the.wonderful portrait! Frank 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Furst Posted January 8, 2017 Share #3 Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) I will miss his wonderful articles in the Viewfinder, publication of the International Leica Society based in the USA. He always, richly with photos from film, laced his articles with excellent prose. He covered all lens and cameras but mostly Leica and Nikon gear. He must have over one hundred thirty five millimeter lens alone. He also covered the Voigtländer lens as new ones came out. I especially enjoyed his factory visits to Coseina in Japan. What a loss to all of us in the Leica community. I never met him felt that I knew him from his many contributions to the Viewfinder!

alun Posted January 9, 2017 Share #5 Posted January 9, 2017 This is terribly sad and unexpected news. I never met Tom but his posts over on RRF were a place I turned to for years, enjoying his gentle and gentlemanly contributions to rangefinder discussion. My deepest sympathy to his family, friends and loved ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipus Posted January 21, 2017 Share #6 Posted January 21, 2017 I am sad that he is gone. I saw the news over at RFF a few days ago and couldn't believe it. Over the years I have gained heaps of knowledge from his helpful, courteous and often witty posts at RFF as well as his articles in the Viewfinder which I always looked forward to. The world of Leica and the analogue community has lost an important and inspiring person. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted January 21, 2017 Share #7 Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I am guessing that Tom had no foreshadowing of his demise. May we all be so blessed. He was apparently considering making a few more M2 Rapidwinders. Always working. To Tuulikki for being his lifelong companion. What can we do for her? .

JohnnySeven Posted April 14, 2017 Share #9 Posted April 14, 2017 Just saw this thread and just learned of Toms passing. He was a truly brilliant and kind man. I met him on a few occasions and he was always more than patient and helpful with me and my newbie questions. My condolences to his family. He will be missed by many...
