My son in law went to see Tom Curren at Coventry Classics today, but unfortunately it was closed, and apparently Tom is ill at the moment. Does anybody know how he is, or if he has any staff to contact to see how he is?

Son in law spoke to the people in an adjacent unit who said Tom had to go into hospital. They thought it could be serious. That's all I know.

Thanks,
I haven't seen him in a number of years, I hope it is nothing too serious.

Default Tom Curren's health

Hello,
I vintage raced with Tom many times over the years.

I've raced an Alfa Romeo or three for decades. I still run a car in SVRA, HSR and SCCA.

I'm sorry to report that he's not well. I visited him today at his home.
He is not in pain due to the drug therapy being used and he is at peace with the world but has not long to live. His family surrounds him.

Think well of him and for his family. Pray for them if you are inclined. I'll tell you more when I know more.

this is terrible news, I am so sorry to hear this but I hope he recovers.

is the Florida Jaguar Club aware of this? I know he was a judge in their events.

Sad News
My son in law spoke to Toms brother today, who told us he passed away yesterday.
Great loss. He will be sadly missed.
