Rest In Peace...... TOM.

Oh no. So saddened to learn this. Tom was a longtime UMA member; I think dating back to the Yahoo group days. My thoughts and prayers to his family.

I did not know him, but I knew when I saw a post by him at the UMA, or at the Classic Horror Film Board that it was worth reading. He'll be missed.

Oh, no, I am so sorry to hear this news.  Tom Triman's work was always a pleasure to read and very insightful too.  It is always a sad thing to learn that a fellow classic horror researcher has moved on.

Sad News R.I.P.

I did not know Tom or his wife, Elizabeth, who died shortly after Tom. I do, however, know that he has left behind a lot of "monster-stuff" for which his heirs want to find a suitable home. I am not qualified to evaluate what's there. Hopefully, because the UMA community is special and knew Tom, some of you can suggest who might be interested in evaluating Tom's collection. I will pass along all suggestions to his heirs.

It would probably depend on where he lived.  What state did he live in?

I would like to send my condolences to Tom's family and friends as well.

RIP.

[Monster Kid]

Me too.

I will miss Tom's contributions to Scary Monsters. My heartfelt thoughts & prayers.

Shocking news. I have enjoyed reading his post for a long time. Sad news indeed. My condolences to his family in this tragic time.

I am still in SHOCK!

Tom's last article will appear in the Seventy-Fourth SCARY A GO-GO Issue!
of SCARY MONSTERS MAGAZINE which was just sent to the printer.  The
Scary article  is THE DOCTOR IS IN! A Tribute to JOHN P. FULTON.

I would love to preserve, catalog and show Tom's lifetime monster collection
in the pages of SCARY MONSTERS which he was a huge part of and he made
our Real Monster Magazine all that much better!

A Tribute to TOM TRIMAN by Jeff Kurta will appear in
SCARY MONSTERS #75.

Tom is gone?  WOW!  I remember Tom as the first contributor to my short lived monster club (Club 13) back in the early 1990s.  HE had such wonderful style that when I folded the club to write for Scary Monsters I urged TOm to do the same.  He will be missed.

I'm sorry I forgot to post something here earlier about Tom.

For the SCARY historical record...Tom's first article as far as I can determine was MONSTER MEMORIES OF FRANKENSTEIN and appeared in SCARY MONSTERS #8.  In issue #9, I would plug John's MONSTER' MASH newsletter and CLUB 13 in the SCARE-NEWS when I use to write it before handing over the reigns to Johnny.  John's first article MONSTER MEMORIES OF VINCENT PRICE would appear in SCARY MONSTERS #10.  Jeff Kurta and Tom Triman would meet and become lifelong penpals and friends because of John's CLUB 13 in 1993.  Jeff will go into more details in his TRIBUTE TO TOM TRIMAN in SM #75 and I hope to also.
