Not sure what to say?

I am a distant friend of Tom going back to the days when he was an asst. pro at Northampton Country Club. I was perhaps 13-15 years old. I knew Tom and Jack and when the four brothers gave a clinic I was Bob´s caddie for the day. My scrapbook has their photos and the story of their visit. To this day, I still relay stories of the famous Toski brothers and their accomplishments to the members of m6 golf club in Melbourne, Australia where I have lived for 53 years after serving in Vietnam in...

I have known Tom and several of the Toski men for quite a few years. I especially liked to meet up with Tom and Lynn once in a while at Joe's Cafe. Tom was always a gentleman and fun to be around. Of course everyone knows he was a great golf instructor. He will be sorely missed. R I P Tom Toski.

To The Toski family especially Bob. We had some great times playing with Tom and then going to Rachel´s for dinner. Wayne from Boca Raton Fl

Tom was also a Former Pro at Waubeeka Golf Links in Williamstown Mass where I am a Member. He would always give free Clinics for the Members and always check on their progress throughout the Season. He would also invite my 4 some down to the Presidents Club in West Palm Beach year after year in which we took him up on it. Getting Free golf in Florida in March is Priceless. He also hooked my group up at the Orchards once , another classy move on his part. I would always make a trip to Family...

He taught me the game beginning in 1959 when I was 8. He hired me to work for him washing clubs and eventually working his Pro Shop with he and Lucille. I played a lot of golf with Tommy Jr and was often on his bag when his brothers came for their annual exhibition match. Other than my father and mother no one was more important to my young life than Tommy. He was the central character in any room he entered, a great trash talker long before it was invented, his personality was infectious and...

I also received my first golf lesson from Tom in the early sixties. My dad, Dave Powell, was an avid golfer and became good friends with Tom. I will always remember his great smile and immense patience with this young girl who was much more interested in the caddies than the clubs! Say Hi to my dad when you see him Tom!

My condolences go to the entire Toski family. I got my first golf lesson from Tom back in 1964 at Wahconah, and have never forgotten his grace, passion, and ready smile.

Tom was a great golfer, story teller, dancer and had time for everyone he came in contact with. He will truly be missed but live in my memories forever. He was a great friend!

My Dad (Jack Parsons) was an avid golfer and grew up with Tommy and his brothers. When my twin boys were going out for the 7th grade golf team at Frontier HS he told them to take golf lessons from Tommy Toski. "He´s the best golf instructor I know." Tommy was instrumental in instilling the fundamentals of golf in my boys. They remain avid golfers carrying on the tradition taught to them by Tommy and my Dad.
