Read MoreI'll never forget dear Mr. Tomczuk making me stand in the corner of our 7thGrade English Class because I was talking. Very humuliating at the time, but hilarious now. And my grandaughters just love hearing about it. It makes me "cool". Helen Koskoski Mihalcik--Princeton,NJ

Mr Tomczuk - one of my favorite teachers evre. I was an A student in his class but I'll never forget the day he dragged my desk out of the class ot sit in the hallway because I was looking out the door (trying to see a certain someone walk by). I never forgot that day, he was so mad at me for not paying attention, but I loved him so much I couldn't be mad at him.
His spirit and love for what he did left a legacy at CHS and great memories in the minds of those of us lucky enough to...

So many years, so many students. You were our 8th grade English teacher at Nathan Hale School and will always remember you saying to the class "Don't be a clock watcher; time will pass-- but will you?"
Rest in peace Mr T.

Carteret has lost a true patriot. He was just a young man when he took part in the liberation of one of the concentration camps at the end of World War II. Like countless others he was horrified to see the evil that was genocide born of Nazism. He used to throw chalk at me and Aggie Szymborski when were talking in his 7th grade English class at NHS.
He was a good friend to my family, Tom and Elizabeth Jakeway.
Rest in Peace.

I had Mr. Tomczuk in '65 and '66 and I was no angel in his class. He let me get alway with alot because he did see my potential which I realized later on. I not only saw him in the Bus Stop constantly but he also stopped by the VFW often when I went there. I will miss you dearly and know that you are in a better place than all of us. I'll bet you're teaching English up there.....Love Always, Kathy Slattery

I had the hoor of having Mr T my senior year. He was a great teacher. I used to see him at the Bus Stop. He would come over and talk to my husband and myself. So many of us will hold fond memories from one of the greatest teachers of Carteret High.

Mr. Tomczuk was a great & proud citizen of our town and will forever be woven into the fabric that is Carteret.
Even though I never had the honor of being one of his students - however both of my parents did - he always greeted me by name & with a smile whenever and wherever I saw him - be it within CHS's walls, or out in the "real world"......no matter how many years that passed since I graduated (in 1989). Mr. Tomczuk was a wonderful friend and neighbor to my grandparents as...
