Section 21: Community News Subject: Tom Stauss Passes Msg# 1230359

| Am so sorry to read of Tom's passing. I worked with Tom in the 80s when he was editor of the Beachcomber. He was amazingly supportive and tolerate with some of us more eccentric staff members (ok, I was in my 20's writing a watersport column and was always running to him with a plethora of hairbrain ideas for content. He would very patiently sit, listen, and then diplomatically provide constructive direction). His scarasim, wit, and sense of humor goes unmatched. I have such fun memories of him. Such a sad loss for all of us! He will be missed! And yes, there will never be another Tom Stauss. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Tom Stauss Passes Tom Stauss, publisher of the Ocean Pines Progress, passed away this morning. Tom Stauss was one of the most influential people in the history of Ocean Pines. He was a superb writer whose journalism and commentary shaped this community more than any internal or external force in our history. No one understood this entity we call OPA better than Tom Stauss. Stauss’ writing was impacting the Ocean Pines community when I moved here in 1989. Over the next 36 years, we did not always agree on OPA political issues, but his professional approach to journalism demanded respect. Deserved respect. I will miss Tom Stauss. Ocean Pines will miss Tom Stauss. There will never be another Tom Stauss. May he rest in peace. - Joe Reynolds |
