I've not seen this reported here, but think it more than worthy of note.
Tom Allensworth, founder and CEO of Avsim sadly passed away on 4 April 2015 at the relatively young age of 64.
I doubt there is anyone here who hasn't downloaded freeware from Avsim, and know there are many who have uploaded their many hours of hard work to the site for free distribution to the flightsim community.
Tom was one of the few people to make this possible.
I hope you will join me in raising a glass in memory of Tom Allensworth and the great contribution he made to our community. I would also like to pass on our sincere regards to his family and friends.
Tom Allensworth RIP

You will be sadly missed, but never forgotten.

Sad indeed.

I send condolences from here instead.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
