Tom Williams, long-time LeadingAge Kansas member and former Board member, passed away last week after a valiant battle with ALS. During his tenure as CEO of Asbury Park in Newton, he led an effort to totally re-imagine the campus, including introduction of small home Green Houses a state-of-the art assisted living residence, patios homes and other major renovations. Tom was a leader in our field, known for his passion, exuberance and big ideas. He will be missed.
