Tom Lanasa and Family Scholarship

Tom’s life was a testament to how life should be lived. Even though Tom was classified as a paraplegic with only a good right arm, he never thought of himself as disabled. He accomplished and experienced more than most that are able bodied. He never knew a stranger, greeting everyone with a “Good Morning” and leaving them with a “Have a nice day”. His smile was infectious and his laugh would make you laugh. Tom left a lasting impression with everyone he met.
