TJ was always so positive and could lift you up. My prayers are with your family and say hello to our Lord from me. He will heal me as well soon. See you there.

This is why I had to let people know. I was on many forums 10-15 years ago and we never knew why people stopped coming.

Just as so many of you are saying, Tj welcomed us all in with open arms right from the first message. He made me feel like I could share anything and everything about my story without shame or embarrassment. Just knowing that a website like this existed gave me so much relief and from the jump Tj made it feel like I belonged. My heart goes out to your family and know that he had an immensely positive impact on my life and by the sounds of it many, many others.
Sincerest regards,
Dog lover (Hunter)

It makes me sad on his passing and my condolences to his family. It seems even in death he is helping others. I think he would like this😊
I’ve put his blog down to read another day.

I agree: I’m sure he would.

What a life! I was touched by him just from reading his entries here. This makes me sad. It also reminds me how blessed we are here on Earth and especially this site. I’m really blown away by the level of caring, trust, compassion and generosity there is here at Ben’s AVM support grp. (Now I think I’m the old fart of the group-- AVM bleed and 2 craniotomies in 1973.) May TJ be at peace wherever he is. Greg

Just now reading this… Nov. 14.
What a remarkable human being! Not only did Tom give comfort and strength to us here at Ben’s, but to others in our world. He touched so many.
May God continue to bless his family in dealing with their loss.

It always makes me sad when I hear or see that one of our special groups has passed away. Ben’s has kept me going a lot because of people like Tom. Thank you and may God bless your family while they heal as well.
