Very sad news for the blogosphere. Tom’s brother let me know that The Wheat and Rye Guy, Triticale, died last night, having never regained consciousness. He had Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), and it had spread to the brain…. His brother Walter told me that Tom was being cremated, and that a memorial would likely be held in the spring, after some time has passed, so people can celebrate his life, instead of mourn his loss.
This one’s tough to take. Triticale was a regular at Drinking Right, and to find out that he went rather suddenly, it’s just tough. My thoughts and prayers for his family.
