 After months of Tom being in the
hospital, the family found out that he had terminal
cancer on November 2nd. Remaining on the ventilator, Tom was
given only a few weeks to live. Off of the ventilator, he
could die that same day ... or perhaps live a few days. Off of
the ventilator, Tom would be more comfortable, and could speak.
The decision was made to let Tom be free of the tube that made him
uncomfortable and silent. Tom would then be moved to a hospice
setting in his home, with his beloved dog Comet. After
removing the tube on Saturday, November 3rd, around noon, Tom spent
some very quality time with his two children Heather and Erik, his
companion Kathy, and his friend & mother
of his two children Pat Mihaly.
Shortly after leaving the
hospital, Tom experienced a drop in his vital signs, and passed
away, never again to go home.
Tom fought a very hard battle to
survive. He loved life. He loved his children and his
dog. He loved his dedicated listeners at WNIR. Tom
wanted so very much to live! Today, Tom lives in our hearts
and memories. Rest in peace, Radioboy.

Keeping with
Tom's love of letting WNIR listeners know when the Space
Station was going to pass overhead, we have included "Spot
the Station". NASA’s Spot the Station service
sends you an email or text message a few hours before the
space station passes over your house. The space
station looks like a fast-moving plane in the sky, though
one with people living and working aboard it more than 200
miles above the ground. It is best viewed on clear nights.
