Illini Media loses one of it's best – Tom Thomas.

Posted by:Kit Donahue on 2008-05-13 08:28:48

It is a very sad day at Illini Media. We lost one of our most passionate and active alums on Saturday – Tom Thomas, WPGU, 1974-76, to a sudden illness called aortic dissection. Tom was a member of the "Back to the Heart" fundraising committee and served on the Illini Media Hall of Fame selection committee the past two years. I am posting the following email from Ed Sackley, a long-time friend of Tom Thomas.' Plans are getting underway to start a memorial fund in Tom's name for the radio station – we will let you know when that is in place. I am including the visitation and funeral arrangements at the end of Ed's email. Family and friends may also sign a guest book at hultgrenfh.com.Read More >>
