Dear Kotras Family,
I worked with Tom at BL for three years. He was a kind and loving soul, always working for the betterment of all. He will be sorely missed but fondly remembered. I pray that you will find solace in the comfort that he is with the Lord and no longer suffering.

Kotras Family - Our thoughts and prayers are with you at such a difficult time. Mr. Kotras tutored my son at BL when he was in Middle School and my son absolutely loved him and so did my husband and me. He gave him the confidence he needed to go forward. He was a wonderful teacher and person. Sincerely, Dave and Denise McKissock
