I am sorry to report that Tom West (aka DoctorWu) passed away last night Wed. 8/30/06
in Southern California after a long long hard fought battle with cancer.

His family sent this note:

He loved participating in the contests and now his family and friends have so many
more wonderful art pieces to enjoy and remember Tom by because of PSC. Being
creative was Tom's whole life and he got so much enjoyment out of creating art
online once he couldn't leave his bed any more.

Tom made some good online friends as well from your site but was unable to keep up
with his submissions and contacts for several months now. I just wanted everyone
that knew him to know that he suffers no more and has with his many talents gone on
to become a true creator of all things beautiful and every time I look at the moon
I'll be seeing him.

Respectfully,
Tom West’s family & friends


I would like to dedicate August 31, 2006 DoctorWu Day on PSC. If you will, take a few moments and browse though some of his amazing entries. I found a few favorites already.

Thank you to Doc's Family for being so gracious as
to contact jmh.
Doc indeed touched our lives too. Not only with his creativity.
The guy expressed himself as about the most even keeled,
fair minded, good willed , and cheerful a person as one could ever wish to meet.

I had been wondering since the last time I saw him here. Sincere condolences to Wu's family.

Glad to have had the opportunity to know him here on PSC.

Hard not to get inspired looking back at the work he did.

He REALLY put together some great ideas. Very ambitious. Probably underrated as well.

PSC timeline wise, he may very well had set the tone for a lot of the different ideas that came around (on PSC) over the last year or so. Looking back, I don't really remember many people (at the time) going in the directions he went too often.


Nonetheless, I hope he is at peace.
