Dave...  I am so sorry for your loss.  My condolences and prayers for his family and loved ones.

My sincere condolences.  The loss of a friend can weigh very heavy. True friends are not easy to come by. My sympathy to you and Doug's family, my thoughts are with you. I'll run a few trains in Doug's honor to night and take a few moments to reflect. 

My condolences to the family. What was his forum name (handle)?

May he rest in peace.

My condolences to his family and friends, it's never easy to lose a friend or family member.

May God bless you, Doug.

Members of this forum have demonstrated they have a tremendous amount of

knowledge and experience that they have willingly imparted to the membership.  We don't want to lose any of them!  In the count of the nation's population, we are just

a few and we can't afford it.

Unfortunately I did not know Doug but it is alway a sad day when a member of the train family is lost.  My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends; especially his friends here on the forum.

I am very sad to hear about this. Dave, please pass along our condolences to Doug's family and also to the rest of the Greenville guys.

The Awesome Coal Tipple you shared with us a few days ago now stands as a memorial.

May he  rest in peace in a better place.

My sincere condolences.

Dave,

  Sorry to hear about Doug, I did not get the privilege of meeting him in person. I have heard you and the guys from Greenville talk about him very fondly, I am sure knowing you guys, Doug was a great man and friend to you all. I was just telling Debbie about the story {name} behind the Coal Tipple when I got home from our operating session this past Tuesday night. Naming a building on one's layout about a past friend to me says alot about that person. Deb and myself want to express our condolences to you and Dougs family. If I can do anything for you brother, you know I am just a call away!

Take Care,

Jeff & Debbie James 

So sorry!

My condolences to their family and to you too Dave. I don't know if you remember, but you helped me awhile back with some TMCC/DCS wiring problems. The passing of good friends and family members are always hard to take. Just remember that they are watching over you now. Paul

Sincere condolences.

Doug was a great friend when he lived in Racine, WI, working for Johnson Wax. When he moved to PA, he gave me the lumber from his then G scale layout because he didn't want to take it along to PA and knew he'd have a different size space he'd be working with there. Once I had rebuilt my Lionel layout with his lumber, I named my main freight yard, Tome Yard, in his honor. Fortunately, both he and his wife, Jean, were able to see his lumber reused on my layout the couple times they came back to Racine to see friends and restock their pantry with J-Wax items. He had many railroad friends in the Racine area and will be missed by those of us here. I will especially miss our daily emails we had until his final turn a few weeks ago.

Rest in peace, Doug. All of us in WI and PA will miss you.

My condolences to you and to Doug's family.  Wish there were words to take away the hurt.

So sorry to hear of Doug's passing. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. Tom in PGH

What a great memorial!

I thought I would share something different about Doug Tome. I have on my layout a  couple sections of masonite that is painted with paint drop on the layout side and painted white on the outside. The outside has various stickers,patches,signs,etc. along with signatures of fellow train collectors,family and friends that visit the layout. We call this our "wall of fame" I am very lucky to have had Doug sign the "wall of fame" on his last visit. Although I only knew Doug for a short amount of time, it was my privilege to have known him.

My deepest sympathies to Doug Tome's family and friends.

I did not know dough, but my prayers for him and his loved ones.

My sincere condolences to you and to Doug's family.

Condolences to Doug's family.  Any loss to the O gauge Railroad Fraternity, diminishes us all.  I just lost lost a dear friend of 41 years myself last month who was a big part of this hobby.  R.I.P.
