Rev. Thomas F. Witzel

I was so very privileged to know Tom as my Minister, mentor and friend. I will never forget the help and kindness that he gave me especially after my Mother died. He was there at my house every week, helping me with budget and after my move we did the budget by phone. I will never forget him

Dear Sarah,
I was so sorry to learn that Tom had passed away. I grew tremendously under his teaching. Unknown to me, he set a very high bar in what I needed a Minister to know.

It was more than 15 years before I entered a church again after leaving CCR. And even then, most of me was reluctant to do so. I 'tried' a few local churches where I found absolutely NOTHING wrong with them, nothing, yet something inside me. and equally unknown to me prevented me from making any...

Dear Sara, We are sorry for your loss and praying comfort for you and the girls since we know that Tom's okay and in glory. Tom's teachings reaffirmed our faith in Christ; his counseling directed us to each other- a bold step that has made a lasting marriage of 37 years. Blessings and love, John and Mary Scillieri

Dear Sara and family. I'm sorry to learn of Tom's passing. I learned and grew under his teaching and after many years came to realize that his teaching had set a high standard in what I came to expect in a pastor after returning to church a few years ago. May Yeshua wrap His arms of love around you and your family and give you the peace only He can give. Know that you will be in my prayers. Love Jackee

My heart is breaking for you, Sara. I loved Tom so much. May the peace of Jesus be with you.

Sara and family: I was surprised to read of Tom's death. I have enjoyed knowing you both a little when I have filled the pulpit at St. Paul's and once at St. Alban's. May you be comforted in the knowledge that nothing, not even death, can separate us from God's love in Christ Jesus. God is with us in life and in death. Well done, good and faithful servant!

Dear Sara and Family, We know where He is!! Our prayers are being said for you that the Comforter will come and give you the grace. you need. It was my privilege to not only have Tom as my pastor for 10 years but also being his secretary. I saw first hand all the good he did for people. Tom has left his mark on so many. Well done good and faithful servant. Sending love and prayers

Sorry for your loss Sara. I remember the worship services, the Sunday night Bible studies, and college classes he taught at BGSU. Tom made you think about your Christian walk. He has been my model every since. I loved his competitive Spirit playing ping pong and volleyball! Tom will be missed but we have Hope that we will be reunted again!
