Tom Stelma
« on: March 19, 2012, 07:27:48 PM »
I just received an email from Tom Stelma's wife Pam and she sadly informed me the passing of Mr. Tom Stelma. I have known Tom for many years and have spent many hours discussing and exchanging information on bullets and relics. Tom mentored me for several years on different bullets and I will miss Tom dearly. He was a fabulous man and my prayers go out to Pam his wife and his family. Mike posted the obituary in the General News section but I am posting this where I believe it belongs. Tom was one of the greats when it came to ACW relics as well as bullets for each war.

I agree with you, Michael.  Here is Pam's note to the leadheads:

Tom passed away last Wednesday, March 14 due to cardiac arrest. 
 
I will miss him.
 
Thanks for being his friend.

I am sorry to hear of Tom's passing.  Mike, you introduced him to me at one of the Nashville shows a few years back.  Thanks to the forum for informing of his passing.

My condolences and prayers for his family.
