Anyone know what happened to DUer Thom Cat?

I was just looking thru some old posts of mine on which he commented. (Memorably.)

His last post is, I believe, late 2011 - early 2012.

He spent a lot of time here in The Lounge and organized a couple of DU meetups in NYC.

I know he had some health issues.

There is someone who uses the same avatar (Tom Cat) that he used. I always think of him when I see it.

Wasn't La Lioness Priyanka friends with him? I could be mistaken though.

If that is true, he should be. If someone knows for sure, please let the Admins. know. Thank you!

We're Facebook friends and I haven't seen him posting in a long time over there either.

He has a lot of aches and pains etc. and I think this keeps him from being on the site.

I sent him a holiday card, and it didn't come back, so I think he's still around.

I think they did some kind of a dirty trick with his employer or something.
