Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We know what a special friend Tom has been to our brother, Tom Martinko, these past 30 years! Their movie nights & dinners provided hours of true friendship & companionship through the good & bad times of life. They were blessed to have each other along with buddy John Domjen.
