Terry Strom aka Phantom Warrior RIP (1 Viewer)

[jazzeum]

Terry Strom, better known to you as Phantom Warrior, has passed away. Terry was very knowledgeable about WWII and was a prodigious researcher.

Over the years Terry and I talked from time to time, mostly by email but sometimes by telephone. Terry unfortunately suffered from Parkinson’s and he and I would discuss our respective aches and pains. I was fortunate to meet him once in person at the Chicago Show.

Back in February or early March I emailed him and received no response which was unlike him. I followed up later with a call but he didn’t answer the phone. I thought perhaps he had stopped collecting since he wasn’t purchasing a lot anymore.

I did an internet search from time to time and even checked his LinkedIn profile but there was no activity until I found a notice that he had unfortunately passed away on or about March 1. Those are the only details I have and if I learn anymore I will pass them on.

Terry, prior to retiring, had a long career in real estate financing in the Toronto area.

Terry will be missed.

Farewell and RIP.

Sad news! I wondered why he hadn't been around in a while. May he rest in peace, prayers for him and for his family's peace.

Thanks for posting this Brad, wondered what had happened to him.

I too met him at Chicago, he'd call me from time to time and we'd chat about the hobby and the current state of affairs.

Nice guy, what a shame.

RIP Terry......................

Thank you for letting us know about Terry's passing, Brad. Terry was a great guy, and will be missed. Rest in peace, Phantom Warrior!

This is very sad. I always enjoyed Terry. He helped me research the reworking of a tank a few years ago. He had a great combination of wisodom and inquisitiveness. I really enjoyed his sense of humor too.
I wondered where the Phantom Warrior had gone. Thank you Brad for letting us know. RIP Terry Strom

Sorry to hear of Terry's passing. I worry when members don't post for awhile. I'm always reminded when one passes, that we must live life the best we can. One day death will get all of us.

I have contacted a person who was trying to get information about whether Terry had a will but so far have not received any replies (email or Instagram).

That is sad news. I also had a chance to chat with him at Chicago and he was always helpful on the forum.

That's very sad news. I brought a K&C item off him years ago when I first discovered TF. A really nice guy and always helpful!
