Death of Tippy Tom

Tippy Tom, the homeless man who was a regular feature on the controversial syndicated radio talk show Opie and Anthony has passed away. Not much is known about Tippy Tom, except that he had been far more health conscious and fairly successful in a business he owned before his homelessness, and that he was roughly around 45 years old. He reportedly died during a fall. He had been experiencing deteriorating health and had battled alcoholism, but was brought to public attention by the show’s stars. Worrying about unsecured loans and bills seems pithy when compared to worrying about whether it will be too cold to survive the night or where your next meal will be.
