I was saved on the 4th of March, 1974 in Tom Hanna's living room, listening to him preach the first Gospel message that I had ever heard. I've been a missionary for the last 33 years and have planted more than 40 churches. Tom played a part in that.

Tom's gentle and kind spirit will always be remembered. "Good night, sweet prince. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!"

I always looked forward to visiting with Tom when I volunteered at the Salvation Army Care Center in Maplewood! Tom was my favorite person there. I have missed his firm handshake and his sense of humor. I knew he was a believer without him having to say anything. Each time I would chat with Tom, at some point he would sigh and smile and say I reminded him so much of his daughter in Texas. He spoke proudly of his children and grandchildren. Praying for all of you at this time!

Rest in Peace you wonderful man...You were a good friend to many and had the best attitude of anyone I know. You always loved the underdog and were a blessing to all that knew you. May you enjoy the peace that only our Lord can provide. Ted and Jenny Nelson

Tom Hanna, a man among men. He knew that a man is not a man until he faces his God, admits he needs Him to save him from his sins and comes under His Lordship.

My husband Dennis and I want to express our condolences. We met Tom and Sandy through the Capistrant Parkinson's Center and are so glad we were able to meet and talk with them and share the journey and experience of living with Parkinson's. They are a great, loving couple and a good example to us.
