Sad news.

RIP Tom.

I never met Tom in person, but we exchanged many emails about Camillus and spent many hours on the phone. Tom was a wealth of knowledge about Camillus Cutlery Co. and he shared it freely with those who were interested. Every phone conversation with Tom was an education in all things Camillus.

Rest well my friend you will be missed!

.....dale, do you know if tom's mother also worked at Camillus???............... .......................

.....dale, do you know if tom's mother also worked at Camillus???............... .......................

Yes, she worked at the Cutlery for 50 years and retired.
Then she came out of retirement and worked another 5 years for the Cutlery and retired as a Vice President of a department, (I don't recall which department).

Tom did say that she managed the Buck account for many years.

.......reason I asked was, several years ago, after the closing, I bought a Camillus cap and 2 t shirts on ebay- when I paid, I got a note from the seller asking me why I was interested in Camillus. after I told her my grandpa had always carried a Camillus, she told me she had worked there 50 years and her son had been there many years working in production or production control, and I have always wondered if this was tom's mother????................ ...........................

carrmillus,
There is an answer to your question

[carrmillus]

...........wow, vit, this is very interesting!!...........thanks for posting it!!!....... ...............

[Vit_213]

I will gradually add new emails, so look for that topic.

[jerryd6818]

Vitaly -- I copied all the emails from Tom that you posted on the Big Forum so far and pasted them into a Word Doc. If you would rather I don't do that, let me know and I'll stop. If you would like a copy of the Word Doc, please PM your email address and I'll be glad to share it with you.

[Vit_213]

I put these materials freely available for everyone, so everyone can convert it as you wish. Private information I replaced the symbols ***.
For myself, I have kept all Tom's emails, so a Word-file I do not need. But anyway, thank you for your concern and one of my emails you can see on the website camillusknives.ru, in the section "Contact".

A little later, I will need help related to these emails, and you'll understand why.

[tjmurphy]

WOW Vit!! That was some very cool stuff

[orvet]

Vitaly,
If I can help in the translation, please let me know.
I know we share a lot of the same information from Tom.
Perhaps I can assist when it comes time for translation, unless you can find someone fluent in Russian, English and Camillus.

[Vit_213]

Hi guys!
Time has come to help.

[Vit_213]

[Vit_213]

I finished the publication of emails from Tom - http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showt ... ut-himself
I will miss this wonderful man.

[orvet]

Thanks Vit, I miss Tom too.

[Vit_213]

Have already passed two years...

[orvet]

It has been that long hasn't it Vit?
I still have the last voice mail he sent me saved on my phone, I just can't bring myself to erase it.

We miss you Tom!
