I want to thank Glenda and Tommy Pike, for passing this
unfortunate news, to me and pointing me in the right direction to obtain the
above information.
Our hearts and prayers go out to Tom's wife, Melody; and
their children Tommy and Melissa and their families.
Tom was a charter member of our Golden Fin Society, a man
who was of help to any of us who needed it. He volunteered to be our '58
Fury tech expert and fulfilled the role beyond all expectations with prompt
returns of queries by members, and his quick response to developing GFS
standards for the '58 Fury. He suggested the idea of a GFS National, and
volunteered to host the very first one at his home in 1999. Tom also took
on the chore of providing our Nats T-Shirts and excelled at that job in each
and every National event through the present. He knew our cars as well as
anyone and was quick to share that information. He will be sorely missed
and never forgotten - a very special man.
