Death of our founder - An announcement
Posted by The Programmer on 25th Dec 2008 at 9:33 pm GMT

It is my sad duty to inform you all of the death of Tom Tweedy.

Tom died this afternoon (Dec 25th) at home with his family present.

His death is a sad loss for the hobby in general and for the Dip2000
community in particular.

Details of his funeral will be available later, anyone who wishes to have
details please send an email to (see message board) and I'll send details
as soon as I have them.

Anyone who wishes to send a message to his family should email the message
to (see message board) these will be printed and pass on.

His widow has expressed a desire for anyone who wishes to attend his
funeral, I will give her the numbers who contact me so she has some idea how
many will be there.

Finally, please feel free to pass on this news to anyone in the hobby who
may have known him. Over the years Tom has been a big part of the hobby and
has crossed paths with many people.

The Dip2000 site will continue to function as normal, after his illness some
years ago Tom and I took steps to ensure that the site could function
without him and in the past months since his illness last year we've
modified the site again to ensure it would continue after his death. It will
carry on as was his wish as his lasting memorial. The programmer.
