[gvttc general] Tom Wood

[Walter Soffer]

This is very sad news. Tom was not only a fine player, but more
importantly always a genlleman -- as we like to say, a mensch.

For those of you who may not have known Tom, he played Table Tennis in Rochester supporting GVTTC and coaching players for over 40 years. He has been fighting cancer for the past few years. Tom continued to play and coach others right up to a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, his fight is coming to an end. He's currently in hospice unable to get out of bed or communicate.

While everyone's support is appreciated in this trying time Tom's wife has informed me that he will not be receiving visitors. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated.
