My good friend Tom Forth was buried today. He loved his Model A, and I was fortunate to purchase it from him last year. He was an avid supporter of anything old car related.

He was also one of the only, that I know of, World War II vet, Korean War Vet, and Vietnam Vet. He flew 102 missions in Viet Nam alone, and was nominated to serve as communications officer on Air Force One. He turned the job down, as he knew he was going to retire in a few years, and didn't think it would be fair to take the job while someone else who could serve longer should have it.

Agent Orange and the host of diseases associated with it finally got him, but it never affected his personality or his sense of humor.
 
He obviously deserves to rest in peace. He served his country well ! May God bless and comfort his family and friends ! Wayne
 
Thank you, Tom. May you rest in peace after seeing all you saw. Nam was a terrible place to be and agent orange took, and is taking far too many who served there.
My sincere condolences to your family and friends for the loss at this time.
You are remembered and loved.
 
Mike,

Thank you for sharing his service record with us.

So sorry for your loss.

You must feel very honored to have his Model A.


Condolences,


Jim
