Big loss to AX community
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.

That's really sad. The name doesn't really ring a bell, did he race in the TX region frequently?

He also was 'the guy' running the local SCCA events a few years back.
Shocking. Tom was a friend to all and would do anything to help a new comer, like myself, better understand the sport. I hate that I did not get a chance to show him my new car. Chris and I will miss him very much.

Shocking -- and terrible -- news. My sympathy and condolences go out to Tom's family.

Terrible news, indeed. RIP Tom.
On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

According to the funeral home, Tom will be cremated so Sunday is a memorial service. They recommended cut flowers or a green plant.
Added after reading Matt's post: Thank you for the information Matt......I think that's an excellent way to honor Tom.
