I am mostly a stranger. I met Tous as a young missionary in 1985. I returned to Guys Mills 25 years later to present him back his wood carving business card he had given me 25 years earlier. Tous had challenged me to return, if I remained a believer. We talked for about 3 hours. It all took him by surprise. He later sent me an impromptu scrapbook about his life. My return was to find out more about Tous. He was a bit surprised to find out that I used Google to find out where he had moved to. His closing statement was the next time I google him, it should say "Ford City Cemetery." I called him couple of times after that. But, today I Googled him and found out about his passing. He was right all along! My prayers are for all of his remaining family and friends. I may be still be just a stranger. But, I will miss him too!

I remember Tous from when I worked in Meadville. He was a quiet individual. May your memories of him bring you comfort.
