<br />
Thomas Baker "Tom" Slick, Jr. (1916–October 6, 1962) was a San Antonio, Texas, inventor, businessman, adventurer, and heir to an oil business. Slick's father made a fortune during the Texas oil boom of the 1920s.<br />
<br />
'''Adventurer'''<br />
<br />
Slick spent much of his life funding and organising expeditions to search for unknown creatures, and he spent a considerable fortune hunting the Loch Ness Monster, the yeti, and the North American bigfoot, often teaming up with Peter Byrne.<br />
<br />
Slick died in 1962 in an airplane crash near Dell, Montana, at the age of 46, dealing a crippling blow to the nascent field of cryptozoology.<br />
<br />
"When that plane exploded," wrote Loren Coleman, "all of the funding for serious cryptozoological research disappeared."<br />
<br />
'''Biography'''<br />
<br />
Nicolas Cage was to have portrayed Slick in a movie, Tom Slick: Monster Hunter, but the project stalled.<br />
