Very seldom do I tear up hearing about a celebrity death but here I am doing just that as I write. For 20 some years I have spend more Saturday mornings than not laughing along with Tom and his brother Ray listening to Car Talk on NPR. The infectious laughter, the dumb jokes, the smelly cars and the right kind of callers. It all worked for me.
They are like friends of mine who seem to have lived my philosophy on life better than I have: Have fun and lend a hand.
Tom died from complications of Alzheimer’s two years after their live show went into repeats. Story link
