Not sure what to say?

Coach Vaxmonsky was a wonderful coach, teacher, and person who meant a great deal to me growing up in high school. He was also a very close friend of my father. It was very painful to hear of his passing. His sincere care for his students and players was obvious to all. I could never call him by any other name other than "Coach" every time I saw him even close to his passing. I could tell that still meant a lot to him and that he still enjoyed that reference by his quick smile. He helped...

We are so sorry to hear of Mr. Vaxmonsky passing. He was a very kind man with a heart of gold. The Vaxmonsky family are in our prayers.

I was very sorry to hear of Tom's passing. As an official, I knew Tom to be two things...a fierce competitor, but most of all a gentleman. He had a great heart. Condolences to his family.

Mr. Vaxmonsky was a man that I always looked up to, from the time that he was my first male teacher when I was in 5th grade at Wyoming Area Middle School North in the 1980-1981 school year, right up until the last time I spoke with him, while I was on a walk in West Pittston earlier this year. Not only was he a great teacher and role model for me, but was also an avid Phillies fan, and I vivdly remember being in his class when the Phillies won the World Series in 1980 and discussing each...

Condolences to the Vaxmonsky family. Coach Vax was a great person, as well as a great coach. Coach and I had a tumultuous relationship when I was a senior. Later on when he was AD and I was police chief in WP, we talked and laughed about the past. I always knew he was trying to get the best out of me, but I was a stubborn, stupid kid. I am glad we reconciled and became friends. Rest in peace coach, teach them how to run
that blue wham left.

I am beyond words how much Tom ment to me. He was a great friend, listener, and gave me a chance to rent off him, single with two children. He was always so good to me and my children. I have lived next to him for 15 years and I am heartbroken. Thank you for pushing me to be what you always thought I could be. Prayers for the family , he is already sadly missed.

Our condolences to the Vaxmonsky family. We enjoyed visiting with Mr. Vax at Maryland family get-togethers. He always had a smile and a kind word for us which is a nice way to remember someone. We saw him in action as a devoted and loving grandfather and in that role he excelled. May the memories you hold bring you comfort. Our thoughts a d prayers are with you.
