Dear Kaag Family: I was a long time friend of Tom through our work together in the foundry industry. I last spoke with him on Feb 28. at PRL. He told me that he sensed the end was near, and that he had accepted his fate. As saddened as I was his only concern was for my heath issues. We said our good byes and I left him with this thought. Jesus wept for our sins and rejoiced in our salvation. Please accept our heart felt condolences from everyone at Regal Cast.
