I just learned of Asa's passing today (Nov 23, 2009). Asa was a very kind man and will be dearly missed by many! He was a great business man, I took all my business to him and recommended him as well. My thoughts are with his family and other friends. The world has lost a wonderful man.

I think the thing I'm going to miss the most is his laugh. He would make me laugh with his stories and I would make him laugh with all the graphics and money making schemes I was always bringing to him. Boy, I miss him! I just found out! Mrs. Bennett and Grandkids my deepest sympathy for you. God Bless!

Asa was a genuinely great man. I met him years ago when I was a little girl. He was friends with my brother Harry and I met him when they worked at Western Cold Drawn steel. He will be greatly missed. This is such a shock to me, because I use to see him every now & then taking his grandson Stephen to school. God bless you and know that we will miss you greatly.
