[Shaku] Sad News

>From: "Bill O'Connor" <boconnor@firesidestove.com>

With great sadness I must pass on the information that Tom Deaver died
in the early hours of this Monday morning.

Tom was diagnosed with cancer a year ago, rather too late. He died in
hospital surrounded by his family.

Tom was many things to many people; he was a very good friend to me.

Tom had an incisive intellect and a consuming passion for Shakuhachi.
He was always willing to help those with a genuine interest, and was
generous in giving advice even if perhaps this generosity seemed veiled
to some.

I'm going to miss him!

As per Toms wishes there will not be a funeral as such, just a fond
farewell.

If you knew him, please remember him in your own way and think of his
family as they come to terms with their loss.

Bill
