IT WAS TRULY AN HONOR TO SHARE THE SAME PLATFORM AND BE CONSIDERED IN THE SAME SENTENCE AS THIS MAN. CONTESTS WERE BETTER BECAUSE HE WAS THERE, AND PEOPLE WERE BETTER FOR KNOWING HIM. THOSE OF US THAT TRAVELED WITH HIM WILL MAKE SURE TO CARRY ON THE WAY HE DID WHEN IT CAME TO COMPETING, HONORABLY. THERE WAS NO ONE BETTER WHEN IT CAME TO BE AN AMBASSADOR FOR THE SPORT.

TOM WAS A TRUE FRIEND TO BBG, AND WE WILL DO EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO PASS ON ANY INFORMATION AS THINGS DEVELOP.

TOM PASSED ON WEDNESDAY, AS CANCER HAS YET CUT ANOTHER LIFE TOO SHORT. HE HAS A WONDERFUL FAMILY THAT COULD USE SUPPORT INCLUDING A GREAT WIFE DIANE.

PLEASE PASS ON YOUR WISHES TO THE FAMILY IN THESE TROUBLED TIMES BY CLICKING ON

Friends of Tom Manno - Tom’s family needs our help. The Manno Family has been financially devastated by Tom’s illness. Neither Diane nor Tom were able to work during Tom’s protracted cancer treatment. We are asking for your help to cover the costs of Tom's funeral and the alternative medical treatments that he received, that were not covered... by his insurance. Let's join forces so that Diane does not travel this difficult road, alone.
