On behalf of the Gajewski family and my brother Gregory, we send you our condolences on the loss of Tom and his family. Tom and Greg were classmates at John Marshall High School, Class of 1968 and friends with one another for many years. Tom was a welcomed friend in our home and always brought interesting conversation to his visits with us. Your loss is overwhelming to everyone that knew him, his wife and children. The happy memories you have of them, will help comfort you now. God's unending love will protect them through all of eternity. Greg Gajewski '68, Cleveland, Ohio

I met Tom a little over a year ago when I bought 2 AMC station wagons and a jeep truck from him. I've since talked with him many times and worked on several of his cars. He was a very knowledgeable and interesting person. I was very shocked and saddened by their deaths and I am very sorry for your loss. I wish that I had met him sooner.
