Another Bird Down

[Racerbvd]

Tony Smith (XBrumos Salesman) mostly checked out what was going on, never really posted much, but he is a straight up, good dude. A Huge Brumos fan (well, he worked for Brumos Atlanta in the Brumos Prime era’s, won top sales Rolex’s, ect, and collects everything Brumos, and what wasn’t available, he created!!







A few weeks ago, fell in his condo, couldn’t reach his phone and wasn’t discovered for 3 days
Since he was dehydrated and weak, he was taken to the hospital.
They were worried that he might have a “Brain Bruise”, they transferred him to the main hospital ( he went in Friday night) so a specialist could check him out Monday morning. Turned out that he had a 5cm tumor(turned out to be Cancer) on the left front lobe of his brain, and they removed it Tuesday, and all seemed well, he was in good spirits.
Sadly, except for one night, he had a rough time , one week to the day of his surgery, the decision was made by his daughter place him in Hospice, literally a week after I was with another mutual friend, when he was moved to the Hospice floor.
So please put Tony in your prayers.

He has not passed yet, but he’s not responsive either
Pretty sure he went by XBrumos Salesman

I’m with my other friend who is in Hospice right now, as I bring him dinner everyday, whatever he wants. Some pictures of him racing Sebring in his old factory RSR (Peter Gregg’s last RSR and I think it was the 3rd to the last RSR of that series on the Porsche line.






This is two much like 2006, when I lost 2 other great friends and True Mentors, one on June 5th, the other on Thanksgiving.

He really needs prayers, his ex-wife and daughters have pretty much cut everyone off and more

Hoping for the best possible outcome .

After taking one friend dinner, I went across the river to the hospice that Tony is in. Sadly, he is not responsive , one of the guys who Tony use to work for (and close friend) asked Tony’s exwife about visiting him, she made it out like only immediate family could visit, yet, she nor their daughters didn’t visit him all weekend, they were busy emptying his storage unit
Tony definitely deserves better than that, so sad to see him like this.
I told him a few months ago that Bill better not die in June, since June 5, and now Tony doesn’t look like he will make it too much longer

Sadly, Tony passed around 1:45 today (6/4/26) so that meant that I had to tell Bill, as he asked me about Tony yesterday and tried to call him, and with tomorrow being the anniversary of Phil passing, just more piled on.
If you look closely, you can see Tony’s reflection when he took the picture of the bike he gifted me.
