Thomas Cwynar

I worked with Tom at Community Mental Health/Elm Dorm and we spent some time together socially. I've always wished we had made arrangements to stay in contact when he moved away. He was so bright and fun and normal. Rest in peace, friend.

Tom and I worked together at both the Elm Residence and the sports department at the Muskegon Chronicle where we shared fishing stories and chess games. I missed him when he moved to Missouri and so many memories of our successes fishing in walleye tournaments on Muskegon Lake

I met Tom as a co-worker at the Missouri Department of Conservation. I had no idea he was a dancer. I was amazed when I first saw him dance; he was so smooth. He was a member of and taught for the Show-Me Boot Scooters and I danced with him on occasion when he taught lessons. This fall he and Debbie taught for us and you could see the joy on their faces. I´m shocked and saddened by his passing. It´s hard to believe I won´t ever watch him dance again. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Tom and I danced together for 30 years. We had a lot of fun together. He was also a great conversationalist. I enjoyed hearing his take on gardening, the economy, the state of government and world events. I can´t yet grasp I will never get to be led around a dance floor by him or dance next to him for a line dance. Condolences.

RIP my First Communion partner at St. Michael's in Muskegon many, many years ago....
