I work for a housing support agency, and Mr. Brazen was a client. I never met him face to face, and only spoke to him once by phone. Mr. Brazen seemed very nice and was gentlemanly the one time we did speak. When I read he was a teacher I took pause, for I was a teacher once also. It made an impression on me, because in the work of my agency, we don't know life history and such. It reminded me to be constantly vigilant (and I try always to be) that there is a person behind that case file. My deepest sympathy to the family for your loss. It appears to be he was a wonderful man.

My condolences to Thom's family. I first met Thom almost 10 years ago. We used to talk about spiritual matters. He will be missed.

I remember Tom in the Civil Air Patrol. We would go on weekend missions and Tom always brought cans of sardines to eat. I borrowed a model rocketry book from him to learn how to make rocket fuel. Tom knew a lot about the physics of rockets. We had good times in the CAP Tom Klasterka CAP cadet from 1962-66
