In Memoriam

Oh my gosh! Two of our great team in marching band has gone up to do Gods work. Again my heart is sadden to hear of Tom’s death. He was an amazing and spiritual man. I enjoy our dates and always felt respected by him. He had a gift with for his instrument and mastered flute and piccolo. He took time, to teach me flute mid way in my freshman year, and played together all 4 years.warmest regards, Barbara Slouka Sausser Class of 1978

When looking for former classmates online, I didn`t expect to find you there Tom!! I`m so very glad your life was blessed, and you went into the ministry and had a great life. The Lord above took you home too soon!! But I know you`ll be watching over all you love. Until we all march in band together again up there, may God bless you in Heaven, and your family down here.
