I was so sorry to hear of Tom's passing and my deepest sympathy to the family. I absolutely loved Tom and his friendship, his smile and his laugh -- his personality -- his sense of humor -- our conversations. He was a very talented carpenter and if not for him, remodeling of several rooms in two different houses would never have gotten done. I'll miss him. Rest in Peace Tom.

Offering condolences to the Gass family and friends. My prayers are with you all. Adversities often sap a person of physical and emotional strength, even numbing the heart. We can be confident that God will help us to endure. Romans 8:37
