Tom was a member of the Silver Sage Sams Chapter of Nevada Good Sams visiting many campgrounds around Nevada and was a strong competitor in a game of horseshoes. He was also a member of the Oasis Desert Riders exploring Nevada back roads with his side-by-side.

Tom is survived by his wife of 52 years, Carol, his daughters Kirsten (Charlie) Kirkness and Jessica (Nick) Fain, and his grandchildren Josslyn Kirkness, Talon, and Dalton Fain.

I was a very good friend of Tom and knew him in the marines and in Bakersfield before moving to Fallon. He was discharged in 1962 not 1964. I was the one who introduced him to drag racing in Bakersfield. He was a great guy.

His mother, father, Karen and Trent were neighbors of ours in Tonopah, Nevada. We moved to Fallon first and then the Kroll's later moved there also. Mother and Wanda were good friends. My brother Michael and Trent were playmates in Tonopah. Mother and my three little children visited the family at their ranch in Fallon. My condolences to Frank's family.
