    Remembering bikerbeans RIP

    Tom Nolan, ( bikerbeans) passed away this afternoon. I talked with his son Roy and he said Tom was comfortable and his family had a good day yesterday with him and he was at peace when he passed.
    Tom told me recently that he made it 16 years longer than the doctors said he would and he had a good life. Tom has been in the hospital since the first week of January, he somehow got the Covid-19 virus and for the first couple weeks was battling that and beat it. For the past weeks since negative he was on a very high dose of oxygen and wasn’t allowed any visitors besides his family. Tom was 65 years old.

    Tom will be missed by many.

    I started calling him “nails” about a year ago, toughest guy I ever met. He lived with ailments that would have stopped most men in their tracks.

    We had talked several times. About a year ago we were planning on a visit with him a Jedman coming over to see the new building and shop, but put it on hold do to the covid. I am truly saddened by not only his passing but missing the chance to meet him

    So sad to hear this news. Tom was one of the ones here that was always ready to help others. I have a shotgun he sold me just a while back. R.I.P Tom Gp

    Biker you were a good man. Rest in peace brother!
    I truly believe we need to get back to basics.

    Get right with the Lord.
    Get back to the land.
    Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.


    May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
    and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
    praise glorious!

    Tom was a good friend. We met when I was selling lead. He hunted at my place and we had a lot of shared meals. We sold and or traded toys back and forth. He left me his Bator mold and his powder coating outfit.
    Tough doesnt describe him! He wore an oxygen bottle all the time but still managed to get a lot done!
    BTW he couldn't praise Jed enough!

    Rest in peace, my friend. I enjoyed the times we were able to share together!

    Thanks, Dinny
