 Unami Lodge mourns the loss of Tom Richards
|
Unami's own Tom Richards passed away in the early morning hours of August 17th after having a seizure. The tragic incident occurred at Camp Blue Diamond where Tom was a teaching assistant for this year's Leadership Jumpstart class.
At the time of his death, Tom was about to enter his sophomore year at Penn State University, studying political science and history. Tom was a Vigil Honor member in the lodge and served as the CP/UE Chairman (2006 & 2009), Vice-Chief of Administration (2007-2008), and served as the NE-5B Section Chief (2009-2010). Tom had received the Dave Fortunato outstanding service award in 2006 and the Founder's award this past January. Tom was an amazing friend, brother and scout. For those who knew him best in the Order of the Arrow, Tom will always be known as the one and only "Super Chief". Tom was only 19 and will sorely be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Richards family. Read More
