Tom Armstrong Passed Away Today

Ron Wood · 06-04-2010, 02:03 AM

I am saddened by the news of Tom’s demise. His keen mind and wry wit added value to many discussions on the forums. I know that his legacy will be that for years to come when his grizzled friends gather together in the evenings after gun shows, his name will bring smiles to our faces and frequently a lump in the throat may be quickly subdued with an adult beverage as a toast in his honor. I have no doubt that in the future some new collector will display a pristine piece and proudly announce that “this was once in the Tom Armstrong collection”. As Taps sound for our former comrade in arms let us rejoice that we knew him and know that he will be there to welcome us home one day. Our prayers go with him and his family that loved him.
