Michael Thomas Gaska

Very cut to our hearts my wife and I were, when we heard the news. May Jah give your family the comfort and strengh you need, remembering HE understands our pain completly, a pain that is soon to be gone forever. Mike`s exciting personality will be missed by so many.... We look foward to laughing with him in the new world, that is oh so very soon!

Our deepest sympathy to your family. The few times we were at the Mira Loma assembly and talked with Mike were memorable. We look forward to seeing him in Jehovah's new system. May he continue to support you. Much Christian Love

Gaska Family and friends,
Becki and I agree all those comments about Mike. We truly miss him for being not among us during assemblies and conventions because every time he comes with big shining friendly smile and his Bear Hugs. And enjoy chat with him with his HO trains and share Rubber stamps ideas. Our hearts are with you and pray Jah comforts you all.

Dear Pam and family,

Bobby asked me to write this in his behalf. As you know he had known Mike for a very long time. They met in 1974 and traveled to Israel together in that same year. The fond memories have lasted a lifetime. He also spoke of he and Mike attending meetings together in Mt. Vernon, and how much he enjoyed visiting with your husband each week when Mike drove Bobby back to NYC. Bobby has really appreciated getting to catch up these recent years with the assemblies and conventions in ASL, as well as being able to communicate by VRS.

I'm sorry I haven't had much opportunity to get acquainted (YET) but I know he was precious to Jehovah, to his family and to many, many brothers and sisters - all of whom will miss him dearly during his absence. (Job 14:15) I am very much looking forward to getting to know him and all of your family better when he returns in the very near future. In the meantime, we send you our love and hope to see you soon. Bobby and Nancy

He is now welcome to New World in a Beautiful Paradise when he wake up. Earn lots of your husband's memories keeps your heart filled with Beautiful proud, beautiful Love, beautiful precious and beautiful Happiness.

Always Love and Hugs to you and your precious family.

There will be a "hole" in all of our lives until his return in the resurrection very soon. May Jehovah comfort your family.

Gaska Family!
Mikes HUGE smile and warm loving heart will be missed greatly!my whole life i dont think I ever saw him mad, Oh wait, I did, I remeber him mad at all of us kids for getting the rooms wet throwing water on ourselves, while we were putting on a music concert for all the parents, acting like we were all sweaty. (Band Names: Puppy Love, Kimmy n I, and The Electronics, Art 3, Abel n Shannon N Gabriel, good times)He will see us VERY soon in the New World that Jehovah so lovingly promises. There will be many open arms awaiting him. Maybe we can all put on another concert and not have to have it signed buz he'll be able to hear our horrible voices singing hehe.. Our prayers are with all of u! Stay in touch and stay strong.. only a little while longer. Lots of Love and hugs to you all!

Deep sorrow for your loss

I knew him by face. One could not miss his SMILE, for it made you do the same.

His love for Jehovah and his son Jesus, drew many to want to love THEM and remind others how wonderful life in the future will be.

His talks went straight to the listener's heart to move US to action.

Your strength will come from the
PROMISE

From ONE who CAN NOT LIE.

We WILL laugh and talk with Michael
again on EARTH in God's
NEW PARADISE.

Dear Gaska Family:
May Jehovah's loving comfort rest upon your family during this sad time. Mike was a wonderful brother with a contagious smile. We will all be together again soon. Much love to you all.

Gaska Family,

Mike was one of the first deaf I met at an assembly 7 yrs ago when my wife and I first joined sign. All I could remember was that he always had a smile and encouraged me to continue learning. Mike was an awesome brother and will be missed.

We look forward to seeing him in the new system. Our prayers are with your family.

I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSE. JEHOVAH WILL NEVER FORGET HIM BECAUSE HE WAS GOOD SERVANT WHO TAUGHT US ABOUT JEHOVAH & JESUS IN ASSEMBLY. SO WE WILL LOOK FORWARDING TO SEE HIM AGAIN IN PARADISE AND HE WILL TEACH US AGAIN IN ASSEMBLY THAT WOULD BE GREAT! MAY JEHOVAH TAKE CARE YOUR FAMILY AND BLESS.

I AM VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS AS U ARE IN OUR THOUGHT AND PRAY I KNOW NOT SEE U FOR MANY YEARS FROM EILEEN M DOONE (SEXTON)

I remember working with brother Gaska in Platform at an assembly. He asked me if I knew sign language, then when I said yes he laughed. He was a very kind brother, patient. His talks reflected a depth of knowledge of the scriptures that is difficult for some to attain. I will miss him, and hope to see him soon.

Pam, we just heard about Mike here in Wilmington. Such wonderful hands that praised Jehovah have fallen silent. How I will miss his huge warm embrace, and his infectous smile. But only for a short time. Pam our hearts reach out to you and your children. Trust in Jehovah and he will give you the comfort that we all long for. We are praying for your Family.

We are very sorry for your loss! you are in our thoughts and prayers!

Dearest Gaskas family
Sorry that your latest husband passed away, we know him well since 1970's. We share to sorrow and symapthy, hope, he will resurrect in new system, John 5:28-29
Richard and Margaret Casey

Mike will truly be missed. I remember his big smile, puffy cheeks and hearty laugh. It was a pleasure to work with him at the assemblies. As he sleeps, may Jehovah be with Pam and the family to continue on. Mike will be truly missed by many.

Dear Gaska Families,
We are very sorry for your loss! you are in our thoughts and prayers! surely, Jehovah will always remeber of him and will come back on new paradise soon!!

Dear Gaska family,
We are very sorry for your loss. Bro Gaska was a very loving father, husband, elder, brother, and friend. We especially enjoyed his zealous talks at assemblies. His warm opening prayer at convention always put our minds ready to listen and pay attention. The sign language will deeply miss him. We know Jehovah God will continue to support your family during this difficult time. Love and sympathy to your family.

Dear Gaska Family
You have been in our thoughts and prayers. May Jehovah comfort you and give you strength to endure. The New System is coming and we will all rejoice together to welcome Mike back.

To our loving Sister Gaska and family,
May the memories of the good times embrace and comfort you in this most difficult time. We were saddened to hear of Mike's death and pray that Jehovah through his organization continue to strengthen you. We look forward to seeing Mike in the new system and welcoming him back. Until then, we send our love and support. Love, your friends, (Kingman, Arizona North Congregation)

May he rest in peace like he never knew before until we meet again in Paradise. Val and I pray for Pam and family. Mike fought the fine fight, he ran the course to the finish, he observed the faith! 2 Tim. 4:7. We will miss his presence. Ralph and Valerie Sedano

Pam, Kim, boys & all the family:

We are sorry for your great loss. Mike was such a good example. He always encouraged my family (Parr's) and we feel especially priveledged that he & Pam attended our wedding. Mike encouraged my Michael when he was 1st interested in the Truth & continued to be a good friend. We look forward to seeing him again soon in the Paradise here on earth. May Jehovah comfort you now & help you face the days ahead. We love you very much.

In sympathy,

I am so sorry for your loss. May love & light surround all of you and carry you through the challenging days ahead.

Love Laurin and Joan Phillips

I am sorry to hear of your loss. I found great comfort in the scriptures when Erwin died. I enjoy in particular Luke 20:38. How good to know what Jehovah feels.

For my sister Pam and your children, Gabe {and Melissa}, Shannon {and girlfriend Christy}, Kimberly and Jason. Also to Mikes special friends in the Tucson Congregations....

How comforting it is to know that the Gaska family has many loving and supportive friends to comfort Michaels family at this most difficult time.

Mike was very special to me and so many other interpreters and signers that have been encouraged by him through the years.

Also I felt so proud of him every time I saw him give a talk or take the lead in field service or prayer at the Kingdom Hall..

He was a good man with strong faith and a big heart. He was sensitive but also not afraid to stand up for what is right. I can look back to remember so many good times with Mike and Pam and the kids..

Mike will be greatly missed and how thankful we can be to know that he is in Jehovahs memory and we can have the priviledge of seeing him again, alive and well and ready to build in the Paradise on earth. May Jehovah strengthen each of you in your sadness at this time. My tears are with yours. I will miss him.

With Love, Judy Crim
