Remembering Tom Ettel

It is with deep sadness that we learned today of the passing of Tom Ettel from his wife Teresa.

Tom was one of our most active and cherished volunteers during the Covid-19 pandemic, having contributed 293 volunteer hours since 2019. He could usually be found doing the less publicly recognized tasks such as directing traffic, doing setup or cleanup, or helping troubleshoot registration systems—all with a pleasant demeanor and can-do attitude. When not directly helping Bainbridge Prepares, he was active as a member of the Grow Community. Tom will be missed!
