Our entire CASA family will always mourn the loss of one of our greatest champions, Tom Aja. Tom passed away in October of 2019 and left a hole in our individual and collective hearts that can never be filled. Tom served tirelessly on our Board of Directors for 8 years and was a force to be reckoned with. His generosity and spirit will provide a lasting example for us all to aspire. We will always love Tom and are forever grateful to have been counted as his friends.
