Thomas M. Olenski
Thomas M. Olenski, age 60 of Danbury, devoted father and beloved brother entered into eternal rest on Thursday, October 22, 2020 with his loving family by his side. Born in Bridgeport on November 23, 1959 to the late Frank and Eleanor Olenski. Tom was a dedicated employee for many years at Stop and Shop in Shelton and currently in Danbury until his retirement due to illness. He also held part time jobs doing miscellaneous outdoor work to better support himself and his son. He took great pride in keeping his own yard just so. He was a kindhearted man and content with what he had.
Tom is survived by his beloved son Tyler James Olenski, siblings: Linda Welsh and husband Joe, John Olenski and wife Laura, Gloria Waltermire and husband Marty, Ted Olenski and many nieces, nephews and extended family and friends. Our family is grateful to RVNA Hospice and many thanks to his Stop and Shop family for their caring and generosity and the support Tom got from his Alanon Group which meant the world to him.
A graveside service will be held at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 28, 2020 for Tom's family and friends at Saint John Cemetery, 2610 Nichols Ave, Stratford.

I grew up with the Olenski family in Stratford, they were like family to me. Tommy was such a great person, always sweet and kind. I send my deepest sympathies to the entire family and my prayers are with you all, especially his son. No words can take away your pain, but I pray they will eventually be replaced with all of the great memories that you have of him and that it will warm your hearts. Sincerely, Linda Freeman

I am so sad to hear of this news. Tom and Tyler were our neighbors in Shelton on grove street when dave and I were first married. Tom was a good friend and a great dad. He always did what was best for Tyler. My condolences to all of you.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I first met Tom while he went about work at stop and shop, we then realized that I was his mail girl. I was wondering where he was I missed him waving from his yard or stopping to say hi at the store while we were both working. He was such a warm hearted person always ready with a smile or a kind word. I was heartbroken to read about his passing. He was a bright spot along with his son in my day.

I am so saddened to hear the news of Tom passing. Tom is truly a special person who loves his son with all of his heart. I had the honor of working with Tom for the last year at Stop & Shop but knew him for many years. I enjoyed spending time talking with Tom when he would come visit or call me at the store. To Tyler and family...May all your wonderful memories comfort you in this most difficult time.

Only knew Tom for alittle over a year. Worked with him at Stop and Shop. Remember him singing. We talked about songs, and his son whom he loved very much. He fought this till the end. He was such a nice person. I will remember him always. My prayers and condolences to his family and friends. Rest in peace Tom.
