RIP to a Shocker Fan

[washedup]

Tommy Holzman passed away Saturday morning. Tommy was well known and very well liked in the Wichita sports community. He was a former long-time sports producer at KSN and media relations coordinator for years at the Wichita Open/Air Capital Classic golf tournament. He loved sports. And as a life long Wichitan, he loved the Shockers. Today's game would have been huge for Tommy. I still think it will be.

Prayers out to Tommy and his family.

Prayers to you and his family, I'm sure he's got a great view of the game today.

Tommy was one of the best people I have ever known. We had a 25 year friendship I will always covet. I first met Tommy in 1990 during the first Ben Hogan event at Reflection Ridge. I was a part of the three-member media relations committee with Mike Kennedy and Mark Allan. Both Mike and Mark stepped down from the committee to get more involved in covering the tournament and so I asked Tommy to join me as co-media coordinators. He jumped at the invitation, which was the best move I have ever made. He has been an unbelievable asset since. As great of a contributor to our coordination of media activities over the last 25 years, it pales in comparison to the human being he was. I will miss him to no end, and I know I speak for all Tommy's friends out there in saying "it won't be the same without you pal."

His name sounds familiar - does anyone have a picture?

Is this the Tom Holzman who attended Kapaun?

Tommy wasn't found of pics, but his behind the scenes work was legendary to all he worked with in media circles.

Somewhere our friend Tommy has a big ole grin on his face.
