Remembering Tom Beidler


I've been pretty caught up in my daily life but today I decided to take some time out to remember a person who was important to me. I didn't know him very well, but because I know he had a wide ranging positive impact on myself and people with whom I share community I decided to organize a memorial night for him, and in the process googled him and I wanted to share here what I found.

His name is Tom Beidler and he died on the 27th of September 2012, he was known as the outgoing, friendly and energetic owner of Yobot in Helsinki, and he will be missed. Tom's obituary can be found here: http://muistot.hs.fi/muistokirjoitus/5153/tom-beidler (it's in Finnish)

and article I wrote about him can be found here: http://www.ovimagazine.com/art/9240
