Wow.

I listened to Tom and Ray a LOT over the years, sometimes arranging my schedule to be sure I'd hear them on Saturday mornings. A tremendous dose of wisdom and wit concerning cars and lots of other topics...and an infectious laugh.

They just "retired" last year, I hadn't realized he was suffering from Alzheimer's, which is another shame.

There is a link on the page so you can listen to the NPR "All Things Considered" remembrance about Tom.
