Just wanted to check in and let everyone know that Tommy is not doing to good. He has not responded to the latest treatments and the doctors are going to give him , 24 treatments of radiation. To see if that will help, but according to his wife,Tommy is weak,In her words(Tommy is a strong man,but The treatments are taking there toll).

They did have one glimmer of hope,They did another scan of Tommys stomach and intestines and did not find any new cancer.

Tommys wife asked that everyone just keep him and their family in there prayers. And just keep hoping for the miracle we all know can happen at anytime.

Thanks

Jeff

Went to visit Tommy today. An hour before I got there they moved him to a hospice room at the hospital. Expectation is that sometime before the weeked is over the world will be a poorer place.

In our thoughts...

This is truly sad news as he has built guns for me as well as performed other work for me on all sorts of guns, rifles included. I walked into his shop 1 afternoon and asked him if he could cut a barrel back to 18" recrown the barrel and thread it for a cooley comp. Not expecting it to be performed right then, but he took the barrel cut it, crowned and threaded it for the comp and timed it so I didnt need a crush or peel washer it just looked seamless like the Jp barrels and comps do. 15 minutes later I was up the road with the barrel ready and only 50 bucks lighter, couldnt ask for better service than that. He made it look so easy when he did it also, like watching a artist at the top of his craft.

I hope he pulls thru, but at least I had the priviledge of knowing him and being able to fellowship with him both on and off the range. The world will be that much poorer when the time comes.
