[Julian_Navia]

I never met or talked to him either, but rest in peace all the same.

[Neon90424]

Just a recent picture...

[Keiri]

Really sobering news to receive on a Sunday. My prayers and condolences to his family. Tom's presence will be missed here - not to mention in his community.

[bsamps4]

This kind of hit me hard.......never knew the guy, but sobered by the loss of a young life. I hope his circumstances weren't menacing and that he went peacefully...RIP man, you and your contribution to this community will not be forgotten.

Talked awhile last time he & I were at a meet.
Knowledgeable young man, easy going.

Rest In Peace

Son, Family Member, Friend...

Tom will be missed by all

[richee3]

Feel free to use any of mine from the meet threads.

[Bitter]

Anyone know what happened? Damn.

[SwissFerdi]

^ Seconded. Seemed like a knowledgeable guy from his posts.

[bloodMoney]

His family is keeping the circumstances private for the time being.

Tom was a great guy that we were blessed to have met and he will be missed both here and at the Midwest meets.

Rest well Tom.

[CelicaZR]

RIP buddy

[garin]

thoughts and prayer for the family.

[Bitter]

I didn't know him well, only met him twice I think but he seemed like a really cool guy. I was looking forward to grilling some dogs and burgers on his turbo manifold.

[navseal345]

I remember sitting by him at that pizza place at the spring meet, trying to force down all yummy pizza. Ah... The good times.

[97lestyousay]

Sad news of a great member. RIP You will be missed

[Ted95]

This is very sad news, he was a good guy and was very knowledgeable. we swapped pm's about our coupes often, RIP buddy you'll be missed in the community.

[easternpiro1]

good guy contributed a lot not just to hear himself talk but had a genuine interest in seeing others succeed. RIP man

[Box]

Never had the honour of talking with him. My thoughts and condolences go out to family and friends.

[sixgentoyota]

Just found this.

[rave2n]

Truly sad news. He will be missed. My condolences to the remaining family =/

[vincent_doggy]

Rip

[richee3]

Jake, neither link will load for me. No matter, I've already found out what happened. It's not my place to say but I will say that we've all lost a good friend and a member of this site over stupid, reckless ignorance. Tom never deserved anything like that.

+1 on everything Daniel said
He was a great guy who shouldn't have died the way he did
If anyone on here can contact the family plz let them that we all feel there pain an hope for the best for them .

[sixgentoyota]

For those interested and if the link won't load...here's all it says

"Military authorities are investigating the death of a deer hunter found dead Saturday at Fort McCoy.

Thomas Stamborski of Milwaukee was found dead with a gunshot wound in an approved hunting area on the installation, according to Fort McCoy officials.

Stamborski, 22, was hunting on the base and is a civilian not affiliated with the Department of Defense, according to officials.

Special agents from the Army’s Criminal Investigation Command are investigating the death. No other information was immediately available Monday.

Fort McCoy issued 2,000 permits to hunt on about 46,000 acres of land.

Stamborski is one of three known fatalities of the gun deer opening weekend.

According to the Associated Press, 51-year-old Shawn Lemanski of Green Bay died from injuries suffered when he fell from a tree stand in the Marathon County town of Cassel. Also, 51-year-old Steven Jackson, of Antigo, died after he was found unresponsive in the woods near Gleason in Lincoln County. Both deaths happened Saturday.

State Department of Natural Resources hunter education administrator Jon King said more people are out in the woods on opening weekend than at any other time of the year, so the chances of an accident are also higher."

[Keiri]

I didn't think it possible but this story just keeps getting sadder with each passing day. To lose a life in a tragic accident like this is just so disheartening. RIP Stambo.

[95CelicaST]

Hope he was wearing his hunting orange. Very sad story.

[Bitter]

I just hope he didn't suffer.

A few more pics.

Mine.






I was only able to meet Tom a couple of times but we were always chatting when I still had a Facebook. He was definitely a cool guy. I loved the sound of his ST185 swap. RIP, Tom.

[bloodMoney]

This picture sums up Tom's personality perfectly.

That's an evil 'Imma tear some tarmac up' smile.

[Zake]

I remember sitting by him at that pizza place at the spring meet, trying to force down all yummy pizza. Ah... The good times.

yep, he was right to my left

[Bitter]

If someone wants to make some stickers that have a 6GC outline and his name or something I'd put one on my car in the rear 1/4 glass.

[kurt95gt]

I'm still waiting to hear back from his sister. But if its ok me an Dan (so far) are going pitch in together to send flowers or something to the funeral home to show our respects
If anyone else wants to chip in you are more than welcome if I get the ok from his family

[Bitter]

I can tip in $15 towards.

[richee3]

Chris is in as well, Kurt. I think he's going to start pricing some wreaths today.

[kurt95gt]

Ok sweet ill start pming people alittle later today
I'm still waiting to hear back from his mom or sister

[lagos]

This is kind of shocking to see. I exchanged a few PM's with him in the past and I believe I even sold him something at one point. Poor guy, he was a great member of the community.

[bloodMoney]

I've sent a FB message to his sister to get a contact number for delivery of the floral arrangement that I was intending on sending on behalf of 6GC.

Kurt, Please text me to discuss further details.

Honestly, I'd love to set it up so there were a dozen 6gc's outside the church on Monday, but that's unrealistic I know.

[richee3]

Honestly Chris, I could probably make it up there if you were up for it. I'm off Monday.

[bloodMoney]

We'll talk it out Daniel. That would be a haul for you on a Monday night to get back for work on Tuesday.

Where is Cheela? He's one that I would EXPECT to be there considering he lives IN Wisconsin.....

[richee3]

I work tomorrow and Saturday this week, then I'm off until next Thursday.

[kurt95gt]

Ok anyone want to contribute pm me an ill send you the details for how to send the money


Thanks guys

I'm here but... I'm broke and currently trying to get a job. Can't really go anywhere with no money and I'm waiting on interviews and phone calls. But let me know when it is and I can try to make it.

[Tigawoods]

damn, if I where a couple states closer, and my car was together, Id come over in a heartbeat

[Bigblock]

We are in for the Memorial // Wreath // Card!!

[satelite]

Im so sorry for Stambo, good guy. God Bless you wherever you are bro.

[Julian_Navia]

I can contribute

[navseal345]

Can someone make sure my name ( Devin Caldwell ) gets on a card, please. Thanks.
We will really have to do something special the next Midwest Meet.

[Bitter]

Sent what I could.

[njccmd2002]

who is collecting, and what is it for?

flowers? cards?

[bloodMoney]

Send PP to me. This is to cover the cost of the funeral floral arrangement and a card with the donating members.

[Batman722]

whoa.

[Zake]

Chris, send me your pp info. I want to contribute.
I'm also interested in a memorial window sticker that was mentioned above if someone is going to make them.

[bloodMoney]

Zack you have PM.

I would like to thank everyone for your generous contributions to this. I know that it is going to mean a lot to Tom's family. That said, I will not be accepting any more donations as the floral arrangement and card have been paid for by all of you who have donated up to this point.

What everyone has done here is truly impressive to me and I'm proud to be a part of not only the celica community but the 6GC family.

I have discussed the possibility of vinyls with Stacy and that is something that we will announce when more details are available.

[Bitter]

I'd buy a window vinyl, the kind that go inside. The ones on the outside don't last. Sounds silly, but how about someone find a little blue GT4 model car to put with his marker?

[Julian_Navia]

I'd take a window vinyl too

[kurt95gt]

I'll need 2 of the window stickers if you make then

[bloodMoney]

Don't get exited.

I'm still a bit overwhelmed at this whole thing, I'll need a minute to figure out something appropriate.

[Bitter]

I have a friend who does cut vinyl that could cut your design. I'm posting from iPod so I can't link. Google Tearstone vinyl graphics or I can PM you later. Tell Russ you're a friend of Jordan from C3G.

[richee3]

I just want to thank you guys for being awesome enough to chip in on the flowers. Tom was a great guy and I feel very fortunate to have been able to meet him. I'm on a few different forums but this one is by far my favorite. I've found that my Celica friends are some of the best people I know. The way everyone has come together is is awesome and I'm sure Tom's family is grateful for your support and prayers.

[NOVAKx17]

this is a message from toms parents that i just happened to see in the chat
::

Stambo: This is Toms mom, just wanted to post to say thank you for the support and the beautiful flowers that were sent in his honor. Not sure how to get in touch with all of you. He was a great guy and left us all to soon. thank you again, Kandy and Mark Stamborski

[navseal345]

That's good the hear.

[Flicktitty]

Hey Guy's

Just thought i'd post in here. My Names Nick Flitcroft, I'm from the Milwaukee Wisconsin area the same area Tom (STAMBO) Was from. I've been pretty good friends with him over the last few years. Just tonight I was on a GT-FOUR thread on Supraforums and started looking at swap information and some how i tripped across this thread. And thought you guy's might be interested in some stickers me and my girlfriend made for Tom as he was a close personal friend of ours. We have already given out ALOT of these to family and friends in the area. So here i am posting this for you guy's to pay your respects if you wish.

These are the 3 we have currently made for the family/friends already. I'm sure those who have met him or talked to him know him and his naps. And the sticker "I'd rather be napping" Well we were the ones that made those for him.

These are about 8" long.



Pricing is $3 shipped for 2 of them (you pick any two you want) *If paying via paypal please pay as a gift, or at the 3% fee*
Paypal: AxisRacingWi@Gmail.com

In the NOTES section, put which sticker and how many you will want (In loving memory, Rest In Peace, or Napping) along w/ the exact color name.

[richee3]
