I am very sorry to hear of Tom's death.
I attended the first race meetings at Donington in 1977 and in 1978 joined the BMMC and volunteered with the Donington ES Team. If Tom had not re-opened Donington Park my life would have been the poorer; his actions led to me meeting through marshalling, some of my best friends and until ill health curtailed my marshalling in 2005 I had many happy days on the "bank." He always had an "owdo" for you if you saw him in the paddock.
It's a shame that he had to see Gillett ruin what he and his family had strived to create. Hopefully the family will regain control of Donington Park and make it into a fitting tribute to a true enthusiast and gentleman.
R.I.P Tom.
