I just read the mail at 10:00 tonight and found that Tone is gone. I’m tearing up. I found V-Mag and the group in 2001 the day I got my silver. The first meet was that weekend. I didn’t go. After reading everything, I found Tone was embroiled in some conflict. I wrote Tone and thanked him for devoting so much effort to the group that sometimes was a thankless job. I met Tone in 2002 at the Isuzu offices. I remember so clearly. The carbon fiber insert from China was delivered and was slightly damaged. I offered to buy and got it. Tone was not happy with me. Rowhard now wears it. I bought most everything Tone developed. Tone’s works ride with me every day. Tone did so many things, I only shared in a sliver of his accomplishments. Tone, we are diminished by your loss. We will not forget you.
Rest in Peace Tone Monday.
