with great sadness, it's been reported that longtime white county resident tom tetrick passed away. he was a horseman who raced at all the Illinois fairs and racetracks since as long as we could remember. Fairmount, quad city, Balmoral, de quoin, Springfield were some of his favorite places but the county fairs were always special to him.
his boys all went into the business. tom, tim, and trace all have done very well for themselves. the community mourns his loss.

Wow nobody said anything today at Hoosier. That’s sad. I only met him a few times but seemed like a nice guy. Gotta be proud of those boys.

Tom was good peeps. I know the hole tetrick family for years. T is a good friend of mine to this day. Trace can be an ahole and only wants cadillacs to drive so when he starts thats shit, i just drive myself. I remember Tom their dad telling me a story a while ago that marky ppool screwed him on a horse deal and never paid him back and dennis brightwell owes him $180 from one night at maywood when he was stranded. That was at least 25 years ago but I remember it like it was yesterday. Both guys ppool and Brightwell always avoided Tom and never wanted to pay him back. --JF
