RIP Tom Short (Tirolith)

It's with a heavy heart that I have to tell you that my friend Tom Short died last Thursday from a massive heart attack. You will have known him as Tirolith, a member of Wealthy Affiliate since September 2015. https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/tirolith

Tom was 79 years young and is survived by his wife of 53 years, Robyn, and their two adult children.

He had been battling cancer for quite some time but it was his heart which finally gave out.

Rest in peace Tom, you are sadly missed.
