Tom was a huge part of this Vanagon Community, so I unlocked this thread.

I don't want it sinking out of sight and also the OP contacted me concerned that it would do so.

Please visit and use the linked thread as it is the official condolences page.

Post something small to keep this thread at the top but PLEASE use the other thread for comments and condolences, I know you all will, you're all good folk!

Thanks!

Dave

I’m grateful that this thread gave me a heads-up here in Vanagon-land. I never would have seen it in the other forum.

Ditto. He was an active, thoughtful, helpful, respectful member of both communities.

RIP, Mr. Powell...

I'll drive my van today in your honor. Edit: My van didn't like the news... it cried a few tears of coolant upon arriving home.
