Tippy Tom Died

Keith the Cop, who was responsible for finding many of the bums for the 2001 Homeless Shopping Spree, came across a rare find – a 45 year-old guy named Tippy Tom, who had been on the streets of New York for over 2 decades. Tom is gay and has AIDS.

Once during an appearance on the XM Radio show he fell asleep and could not be woken up; Master Po poured water in his ear and ended up reviving him.

Allegedly before his homelessness, Tippy Tom was a health conscious person and a successful businessman (he had a window washing business), and even had a wife and kid. He also had a gambling problem, which may have led to his being on the streets. At one time, Tom was cleaned up and called into the show sober (and sounded really gay), but his sobriety didn’t take.

Nowadays, Tom still roams the streets with his legs all black; it’s possible he may lose them. Tom’s brother had also been trying to get in touch with him to tell him that his mother had died. Opie revealed the news of her death to him at the end of the April 10, 2008 show, by passing a note to him to read. O&A also had fun with Tom when they found out he gets sad at the movie Sophie’s Choice, and played the clip where Sophie has to choose which of her children must die, to which Tom got very emotional.

Tippy Tom’s shitty underpants were also used by Pat Duffy to make an underpants mustache, similar to Opie’s Baby Diaper Mustache Day.

It was reported on June 26, 2009 that Tippy Tom died May 6. RIP.
