R.I.P. Mr. Tom Parker
It is with a very heavy heart that I inform you all of the death of Tom Parker (Cult of Personality). Tom was found after an apparent heart attack. He was 55 years old and had a few health issues recently. He was a stand-up guy and truly lived for modeling in all it's various forms. He will be missed. Godspeed, Tom.

That's terrible news. He did some great stuff.
The things you own end up owning you. It's only after you lose everything that you're free to do anything.

My condolences to the family, 55 is just way too young.

I am very sad to hear this. His passing is a huge loss to the hobby. RIP.
Re: R.I.P. Mr. Tom Parker
Sad news.. Tom was a really good guy and I always enjoyed talking with him at hobby shows. The stuff he produced was top notch and his passing will leave a huge void in the heart of our hobby.

OMG!
This is just such horrible news.
Tom was such a great guy and will be sorely missed.

Wow. This is terrible news. We used to spend hours on the phone, gabbing about models. The guy was a walking encyclopedia of model kit building! My model friend. I'll miss you greatly.
