I’m sad to report that our friend @TommyBwell passed away back in september. I went to wish him a happy birthday today and check in on him as I know his health has been poor and he stepped back from the community when throwing started getting harder for him but instead found his obituary post.

Tommy was a cool guy! He had some amazing taste in yoyos in my opinion.

I believe I got one or two yoyos from him over the years. Need to see which ones they are!

Glad you are in a better place and not in pain anymore Sir. My heart and prayers are with his familly.

@Prochef1980 Not sure if you’re still active, or have that Mijo I sold you a couple years ago, but that was Tommy’s first big yoyo splurge. When he saw my listing on the BST he messaged me and told me all about how acquiring that Mijo was his first step into modern responsive play. Hope you’re enjoying it!

Here are my two Tommy yoyos.

Thank you Sir. Hope your watching when I play with them.

Mine was a Half-Swap Cold Fusion GT. Classic mid-school semi-responsive fun right there. Will have to give it some love in honor.

Tommy and I used to talk about how we didn’t like filming and posting ourselves, which eventually led to me filming and posting myself :cry:

I had no idea about his health.

Sad day.

Thank you, Tommy, for the encouragement. I wouldn’t be where I am today without it, and I’m very grateful for where I am :folded_hands:t3:

It was more like Tommy had throws from me than the other way around, but knowing how much he loved the Butterfly I will definitely give mine some attention. RIP brother.

I’ve bought a number of throws from Tommy over the years. I was sorry to hear this. Shout out to a real one.
