Tom Abrahansson

Not just sad for Vancouver. I'd imagine anyone who encountered him, even impersonally on the web, will be saddened.

In the days when I could be bothered with RFF, he was one of the few people who seemed both nice and knowledgeable.

I've also got one of his soft releases
 
+1

Except I do not have one of his soft releases.

He was influential and will be missed.
 
RIP. It sounds like he had a life well lived and rich in friendships.
 
Great link Dennis! Thank you very much!
I will miss Tom a lot. We always swapped rolls of various films and had never ending film developers conversations. Still on my desk are 4 rolls of films he give me the last time I saw him on the end of November, rolled by himself.
RIP Tom and have great light and an unlimited supply of BW film wherever you are now.
 
Tom was in himself, a classic.
 
Sad, news. I dealt with Mrs. A. when buying my soft-releases. She was a joy to deal with.
RIP
 
what a sad thing. I have two of his rapid winders and they are genius. He was more than happy to help me adjust one to work better on my Barnack Leica even though I bought it used, too.

Great inventor -- lovely guy.
