After a life of love and quiet grace, Tom Lehmann, 60, has passed.
These are the contours of a life that meant a great deal to many.
The story begins in 1956, with the arrival of a life that would be cherished by many.
Tom held deeply to the Presbyterian faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew him best.
Some find their compass in faith. Tom was among them.
