    We have lost one of the most important persons to the hot boating world.
    Tom Papp has passed away from a heart attack.
    Tommy was one of my best friends and I will miss him.
    My phone started ringing off the hook in the middle of the night with the horrible news.
    For those of us who knew Tommy well ... we were honored with a true friendship. Tommy was the kind of guy who would bend over backwards to help you w/ when you needed it.
    One of my favorite sayings from Tommy was, "With all of the free crap I do around here, I might never get rich ... but I'll have a lot of brownie points when I get to heaven"
    I'll miss you Tommy. Save me a spot in the pits up there.

    Damn. Some sad news indeed. Never had any dealings with the man, but from what I've gathered here in the last few years, he was a helluva guy that will be greatly missed. May God bless.....

    RIP Tommy.
    He was hands down one of the nicest guys you'll meet in the jetboat group. He would do anything for anyone just to help them out. He will be missed by all of us.

    the first time i ever met Tom was at his shop. not knowing me from adam he took time out of his busy day to just sort of chit chat about stuff and i wasnt even a customer. i knew right away he and his wife both were way good people.
    he will be very missed.
    our heart felt condolence to his family and friends.
    Toni and victor.
