To the Van Gessel Family, with sympathy.....

It was an honor to have your father as a uncle. It was always a treat to talk to him. He always was upbeat and concerned about what someone had to say. We will all miss him. Craig and Linda Van Gessel

To the family of Uncle Tom The first time I met your dad was at my wife Monte and I wedding It was such a thrill because my dad talked about him and his success a lot and to think he came to Indiana for our wedding help make our day even more special Will all miss him but never forget him May he rest in peace Jeff & Monte Sue Van Gessel

Thank you for your service to our country. May you now rest in everlasting peace.

To the VanGessel family, Your dad was very important in my younger life. He was instrumental in my securing a position as the head hockey coach at Rippowam High School and supported both the team and myself. I´ll always have fond memories of those times. In the years after, we´d see each other around Stamford and always engaged in great conversation. I know he loved family dearly and I am so sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences. Will LaRusso
