So sad to hear of Tom’s passing. I did not realize he was sick or that the shows had not been aired live for some time. I hope the show continues on. I loved listening on Saturday mornings when hubby and I were running errands. Tom and Ray had such a great dynamic together.

I am so saddened by this news. While I had no idea that he was suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease, perhaps this was the main reason why they gave up doing the radio show together. The world has lost a gentle, good-natured man who gave all of us a lot of enjoyment. May he rest in peace. ---

Sorry to hear that. I thought that maybe there was something more to ending the show a few years ago than just wanting to enjoy retirement. ---

Thanks for the many years of enjoyable listening. I can hear him say Alzheimer disease, no wonder I couldn’t remember last weeks puzzler. ---

We will miss you Tom. Your laid back nature and friendly, caring tone always made me feel better. Even when I was laying on a stone driveway fighting a transmission jack in the rocks, when 1pm rolled around and car talk came on, all was right with the world. I always looked forward to Toms stories and commentary, I am truly saddened, I feel like I lost a friend. God Bless. The Magliozzi family is in my prayers. ---

To honor Tom’s legacy , not let it fade away into the sunset , I think Ray should turn the mic on again with , perhaps , celebrity co-hosts who are car-ish enough to impart their…eh-hem ‘‘wisdom’’ ? ( Jay Leno, Tim Allen, Toby kieth etc. ) Now that this news brings the show back into the spotlight, it would be appropriate…hard, but appropriate…to reignite the flame. … I think so, anyway. ---

That is too bad, but I hope that he enjoyed the time since he retired. I wish the best all of Toms family and friends. It was always a pleasure to listen to the guys and their laughter was contagious. Yosemite ---
