I met Tom Cassis in Everett, Washington in the late i960"s when he visited my step father his first cousin Jim Colliers. His character and personality commanded respect. For many years we connected through the Order of Ahepa and later through the law profession. He was a stand up honorable guy. My deepest condolences to his family especially his wife, Jackie and his daughter, Denise. May his memory be eternal.

Tom - we always joked when you came to church for funerals, that this was the only time I saw you in church. Who will koke with me tomorrow at your funeral? May your memory be eternal. I will miss you.

Nouno, I will miss you dearly. You were the best godfather a girl could ever ask for. Thank you for being you. You were such an amazing gentle man. I love you. It meant so much to me that you and Nouna were able to witness my wedding. You made it that much more special to me and my husband. You are dearly missed.

It was a pleasure to work with Mr Cassis years ago when I was Judge Schultheis bailiff in District Court. He was a gentleman, he was funny and he always had a great smile and laugh. God bless you his family as you mourn his loss and God bless Mr Cassis.
