Before he tragically passed away, former Councilman and proud Club Member Tom LaBonge had visited every corner of the City.
Now he’s among the stars.
In May, the Griffith Observatory named seat F17 in its planetarium for Tom, who passed away in 2021. He was a passionate supporter of all elements of Griffith Park, including the Observatory.
“Tom has taken a place among the stars at Griffith Observatory,” Tom’s family wrote on its Instagram page. “Thank you to Dr. Ed Krupp and the Griffith Observatory Foundation.”
