Geoff,

   
can you use the Avior email list to let those that knew him:

 

We had a call from Jay Morrissy late last night ( Sat) to tell us that Tom passed away sometime Fri night/Sat am, with what may have been a heart attack. He had built a home at Nagambie, Vic, where he grew up. There is a PM on Mon and funeral on Thursday or Friday they think.

We are very sorry to hear this news but thankfully it was quick. They have both been very good friends to us over the years we have been in Australia as they were some of the first people we met when we came from UK to Sale.
