Trass Family We are praying for you for your loss.Trass was a good man and he will be missed. I can remember when we were kids the ring he made all of us out of a dollar bill, wearing rings on all of his fingers. Trass has been apart of our lives as babies, coming over sitting on the porch Asking ” What country are you from”. Arthur if it anything we can do please don’t hesitate to call. May he rest in peace.
To the family of President Trass, I want to say how much I am so saddened to hear of the demise of our friend.
I’ve been knowing Mr. Trass for over 32 years. Mr. Trass was a great man to be around and a lot of fun. He was always most kind.
May the strength of your heavenly father keep you all in these days of sorrow.

I met President Trass decades ago during his work at Christian/Columbia College. A military brat myself, I found him admirable and delightful. When I read of his accomplishments, I am not surprised, but I am impressed.
He even appeared in a 3-minute film I made; he was good, but the film was not. I have enjoyed seeing him over the intervening years and will miss those chance encounters.
My life was brightened by his light. My sympathies to his friends and family. Most sincerely, Penny Carroll Braun

I met President Trass recently when he was a patient in our ICU. It was my pleasure to be one of the nurses caring for him. He was delightful to visit with, friendly with a good sense of humor despite his hospitalization. I was sad to hear the news of his death. I know he has touched many lives over the years. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

Deepest sympathy from our family to yours. Mr Trass was truly inspirational. Without knowing of his extensive military background he always did and will have my respect.
