Pretty sure this is obituary.


I don't think so...that guy died on June 4.

Also no nephew. Plus this. "He was the son of former New York State Republican Chairman Norman Weiss".

Nah, not the Tom Weiss I knew from here. wink

RIP Tom. You were an amazing artist.

I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

According to Whois the domain is still registered until 2026 but it seems that LockOnFiles and all of Tom's content is no longer online. frown

Tom and I were worlds apart politically speaking but he definitely had a passion for flight simming and I really appreciated his website which I used many times to download user-made mission files.

I offered M4T's hosting services to Tom as a backup site in 2018 before I knew LockonFiles was hosted by him. Wish he had taken me up on the offer now that his site is gone, likely permanently.

Understand the reasoning for keeping ones files in a single location but if you ever have problems with LoF there is a download section for BoS and it's files at M4T.
