Debbie & I were saddened to learn of the passing of Rev. Keiser. He was much more than the pastor who married us; he became a friend.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Erma and Family, with the passing of Pastor Tom. I have fond memories of him as I grew up in Madison and was active in the bell/vocal choirs - and then to move to Grand Rapids and reunite with him as Pastor of FH Presbyterian Church. Always a warm smile and genuine interest in others lives. RIP Pastor Tom
