Dearest Pat and children,
I was so saddened to read about the passing of your dear Jerry. Whenever we met at the parties of the Aniols or Licars throughout the years, we always enjoyed your company and the fun times we all had. Jerry lit up the get togethers with his lively wit. When he started wood carving, he became a master. Prayers to you. May a band of angels lead Jerry into the Paradise he so richly deserves.
Love,
Camille

My sympathy and prayers go out to the Tomasiewicz Family. Frank and I ran a few races together. Frank was a great 2nd Level at Illinois Bell Mini Computer Mtce. We worked one of the IBEW Strikes and had a great time. Frank was a joker. He truly will be missed.

My sympathy and prayers go out to the Tomasiewicz family. Frank was my Boss at Illinois Bell Telephone /Ameritech in the Minicomputer Maintenance group. I will always remember his wood carving of Ducks, Fish and many other animals. He would even carve on the train on our ride home. He was a one of the BEST Boss's anyone could ever ask for.

My condolences to Patricia and to your family .
My memories of Frank go back to our Illinois Bell Telephone days and his many family stories .
I have repeated many times, the stories of Tomasiewicz birthday celebrations and pranks pulled on family members.
Our time on earth is subject to many conditions and events that are out of our control, but the memories we leave behind can
go on from generation to generation.

My sympathy to the Tomasiewicz family on the passing of Frank. I worked for Frank in the Minicomputer Maintenance group at Illinois Bell/Ameritech for many years. I loved the fish he used to carve and paint. What an art! He was a good friend and a great supervisor.
