John "Jack" Tomko Jr.

Not quite sure how I missed the sad news of Jack's passing this past October. I only found out just yesterday. I taught next to Jack at the Pine Grove Middle School for a few years before he retired from teaching. He surely had a talent for making people laugh. Deepest(yet late) sympathy to his twin brother and his family. May he rest in peace. Shirley Kozluskey Clements

Dear Jerry and family,
I was so very sorry to learn of Jack's death. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.

Jerry, Elaine and Son--May God bless you in this difficult time,and may wonderful memories help you cope and offer some peace.
May Jack rest in peace.

Jerry and Family--
My deepest condolences to you on the loss of your brother.

I was so sad to read the news of Jack's passing. I had just met Jack at his mom's funeral, and he was such a nice guy! Jerry, my heart breaks for your great loss, especially as you are mourning for your dear mother. You've picked some great photos of the two brothers growing up! I cannot imagine the profound pain of losing a twin. Jerry, my sons and I are praying for you always.

Jack was one of a kind. I can still see him holding court in the "Lincoln chair" in the Pine Grove Area Middle School faculty room. You always knew where he stood on an issue, he had no grey areas. He got me through a very difficult time in my life with a combination of biting humor and a few kicks in the butt. I've missed him since the day he retired. He has gone through a lot, but now is at peace. My sympathy to the family.

I have fond memories of Jack during my visits upstate with the Campbell clan. His stories and humor enriched my life. Thank you for your service to our great country. May God save your soul
