Thomas Truskowski

It has been some years since I last worked with Tom. Nonetheless, I always appreciated his no-nonsense approach and his dedication to both work and family values. His time on this earth passed too soon and I will miss him.

I love my dad and I will miss him so much, but I know he wants me to be strong and live a good, happy life. He treated every single person with the same warm respect, love, and openness and I am blessed that he is my dad. Thanks so much to everyone who has given their love and support through this difficult time.

We wish to thank everyone for showing their respect and sympathy for our brother Tom. We will all miss him dearly. For he was a not only a great brother, but also a good friend.

I am so sorry for your loss. All of us who worked with "T" at Siemens have very fond memories; golf, candy, Halloween parties. Please except my condolenses and God Bless...Tom will be missed.

As I sit here with my daughter, Jenny, we are so grateful for the kindness everyone has shown at this really difficult time. Even though we were divorced, we remained very close and had a family dinner at my place the week before, and Jenny and I went out for dinner with Tom the following day. He was a wonderful father and friend. The service was personal and the people that shared in our sorrow also shared in the celebration of his life. I will share a picture of Tom for all of us to enjoy...

We were blessed to be a part of Tom's family and have him in our lives, not only as a relative, but a good friend. He will forever be in our memories as a "one of a kind" gentle, loving, caring man. We loved him so, but are comforted by the thought that we will see him again one day. May God bless you, Mike and Jenny. Please know that we will be there if you ever need us.

My name is Sami and I am 6 yrs old, Tom was my favorite neighbor. He would always give me a pop-sicle and sit with me while I would talk his ear off. Mom would tell me to stop bothering Tom but he would always say "Oh she's fine" Tom was a good listener and he had the nicest lawn, my dad would get mad because Tom's lawn was always greener than ours. When Tom mowed, dad mowed, then they would take a break and admire their work. My mom would often go for walks with Tom, he would walk and mom...

I was so sorry to hear the news of T's passing. He was always a friend to everyone and he had the patience of a saint with me when I messed up my orders...which was nearly every order. He was a true gem and he will be missed.

Tom’s untimely passing is a tragic loss. I came to know him about eight years ago as a brother in-law. Although he didn't know me well he readily and openly accepted me as family. I had just moved to Grand Rapids and he extended his warmth, kindness and generosity without hesitation. Tom made me feel welcome and helped Julee and I in many ways. I feel fortunate to have known him, he will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. Although this is a sad time for all...
