He leaves behind his beloved lab, Buck, his sister Suzanne Lasher Flynt and husband, Bill, of Dummerston, VT, nieces Clark Flynt of Washington, DC, and Emma Flynt of Geneva, NY, many cousins and countless friends.

I spent many hours at mystic valley bike shop working for the lasher. Super funny guy and always game for after work adventures. My first encounter with a quirky bike shop dude. Now I know a few...

Enjoyed having Tom in chemistry class at Lyco back in the 90's. He was so much fun. Condolences to all Tom's family and friends.

I am sorry to hear that Tom has passed away although I know he is free of his chains now. I knew him for a long time going back to when he had a bike shop in Honesdale. We somehow got to talking about music and his spirit and enthusiasm on the subject was equal to mine. We traded a ton of great stories. I particularly remember his about Muddy Waters playing at his college. I ended up buying a lot of his guitars over the last few years and I really treasure them as they are all great instruments. They all get played and I know he would like that. Peace to his friends and family.

In memory of Tom Lasher...

...affectionately known as "Tom the Bomb" he frequently lived up to his name. Never a dull moment with Tom around - "Boo Buddy" ! He brought smiles and laughs to the back rooms of so many bike shops and his guitar playing & singing were welcome entertainment - he was that good...especially when he would share some of the originals from his Massachusetts homey's >>>A.T. Dough and the Dividends.

I know Tom will be singing his way to the Promised Land with a golden guitar ...and a spoke wrench & multi-tool in his back pocket.

...may his legend live on...RIP Tom.

My deepest condolences to the family... Tommy Boy, we spent many a day and night listening, playing and talking all things music and trying to figure out the problems of the world and our places within them. I'll miss those moments and the sound of your big feet coming up my front steps with your voiceterous laughter riding atop those broad shoulders of yours. R.I.P. Tommy Steve M
