Default Loss of a Parker friend.

I hope I am terribly wrong, but just saw where our friend and Parker brother, Tom Pellegrino has passed. I used to shoot with him and David Dwyer at the Southern and other SXS shoots. A true gentleman, we used to talk periodically. He was proud of his Pennsylvania and railroad roots, and his Italian heritage. Never have I heard an ill word about the man. Condolences to the family.

Don't know how that horrible emoji got on there. Truly sorry for his passing, was a friend to many of us.

Speaking with him at the Fall Southern last year, I knew he was dealing with health issues. He had some upcoming medical procedures scheduled and didn't hear much after that.

Tom was a nice guy and always a conversationalist. Sad to see another good guy from our ranks pass away. Condolences to Tom's family and friends.
