So sad,
Tom was my teacher when I went to Grant Middle School. He was also very active with the sports scene at ptown when my son went there. he is a great guy and excellent teacher. i will keep him in my prayers.

I was told today that he is 48.

Tom is a Trojan fan to the core.

Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

The Instructor,
I have heard from my son, that a few kids he graduated with, said that things were worst for Mr Grashel. I won't say what he told me, as it could just be some wrong things going through the rumor mill. My son asked me to try and find out if this is so. If you do find out more, could you let us know.

Thanks, Philly
