Just got this from Matt/Texas Region:
Tom Ramey collapsed and died while at work today. Tom worked at DynCorp near Alliance airport.
I know that some of you have a long history with Tom going back to the Austin days. I'm sure this will get around the autocross community pretty quickly, but please pass it on to other folks who were close to Tom.
Matt
Horrible news. :(
Wow...that's very sad. My best to Tom's family.
Wow. I'm sorry to hear that. My condolences to Tom's family.
I am stunned. I suppose details of the arrangement will follow.
My prayers are with his family.
That's really sad. The name doesn't really ring a bell, did he race in the TX region frequently?
Yep, ASP VetteQuote:

Shocking -- and terrible -- news. My sympathy and condolences go out to Tom's family.
He drove a dark blue C6 with RAMJET on the license place.Quote:
