I just talked to Randy Smith and he informed me Tom Morris had a Heart attack. He is going to recover but some orders may be a little late.

I would think he was in better shape than that, so he is now on my prayer list.

Sorry, Tom. Please do everything the Docs say and get well. I want to keep seeing you at our Carolina contests. Our friend Wayne R. is out of town for the week, so I'll pass this along to him.

Tom and John Simpson stayed in our condo while attending the MCRC Stunt N Fun contest.
Tom was flying in the second round when he motioned that John should come and get the handle.....he knew that he was having a heart attack.
Prompt ambulance service and good ER work saved his life....his heart stopped for eight minutes and he had 100% blockage. The MD's were very optimistic last night the he would survive, saying that if this had happened while he was asleep, he wouldn't have wakened.
John and I saw him again this morning and he looked a LOT better.

Tom's wife and son drove down.

Eric and I saw them around 3:00 today and he was still in the ICU, but I spoke with the surgeon and he said that they were going to take Tom to a regular room around 5:00 today. Tom hopes to be released mid-week, but the MD's aren't wild about him riding in a car the 500 miles home.

I'll see him in the morning and report.

Rich, thanks for giving us some details. I alerted a mutual friend of ours but didn't know anything to tell him. I'll pass it along.

Tom.
Sorry to hear about your "Ticker" problems. Hang in there! The CL Stunt community loves you and depends on you and your marvelous craftsmanship.

Glad to hear the Doc's say you're going to be OK. Don't rush it, and do what they tell you.

We can live without you...BUT only for a LITTLE while! Be good and get well!

Wow, scary stuff!

I just "talked" with Tom via Email this past week about getting some control system parts. Tom Morris is definitely one of the best in our "circle", always a pleasure to deal with. Take a break and get some rest Tom, wishing you a speedy recovery.

Tom, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
If they offer a Cardiac Rehab program. Take it. It is the most beneficial 12 weeks of cardio exercise you can ever get.

RC Storick · « **Reply #19 on:** November 07, 2016, 09:40:10 AM »

Please note that any Stunt Hangar Hobbies orders are going to be delayed until his recovery. I am not sure if his employees carry on in his absence.

Hi Tom,

Get well Tom. I will be praying for your speedy recovery also. Take care friend.

I just spoke with Tom.
They have moved him to a cardiac recovery floor (lots of folk in their fourth quarter here in FL) and got a good nights sleep.....
He says that he gets sick when he eats.....hospitals are wonderful weight loss machines....
He is trying to nap as often as he can....
He seemed in reasonable spirits.....
I will visit tomorrow.

Have fun!

Thoughts and prayers coming your way Tom, we really do love you. My son Dominick was 2 or 3 years old when we first met you at Huntersville, and pretty cautious around people at that time - but he absolutely adored you.

He and I were on the road a couple of months ago and spotted a billboard we got a kick out of - "Real men love babies". So you're obviously the real thing - and a first class guy!

I'm not completely sure either, bit I think Tom is the "employee".

What Ty said.....

I saw him today.....still bothered with nausea......and pain.
The plan is to let him leave Thursday.....the MD's want him to fly home, the family wants a 2 or 3 day car trip.....he'll be wearing a defibrillator vest for 5 months (or weeks, no one there was taking notes)....
I know how awful it is to be forced to sleep on your back (when you usually sleep on your side) because of all manner of crap strapped on......a good night's sleep would change his mood a bunch....
He will no doubt cut way, way down on his modeling activities....

I'll see him again Thursday morning....

RknRusty · « **Reply #41 on:** November 08, 2016, 02:34:30 PM »

Thanks for helping look after him, Rich. And for keeping us in the loop.

As much as you think the event owes to Tom Morris, it's really 10 times that. I am almost certain that without Tom, PAMPA in particular would very likely not exist. You *cannot conceive* how much crap he had to put up with over the years.

Brett really hit the nail on the head. Beyond what he has done for PAMPA, Tom has gone way out of his way to help all of us with his books and his products. Just for NVCL he kitted both the EVO 40 and the P-51B for our winter building programs! He has always done way more than enough for us. I just can't imagine being able to do the things we have done without his help. I am praying for his quick recovery and getting back to full health. When it comes to control line stunt, he really is the "indispensable man".
