Thomas Steven Nowak

It has been one year since our creator took my dear friend home! I miss you more each day that passes my brother! This message helps me stay connected to you tom! Keep shooting those hoops brother! One day I´ll be there to shoot with you again! Much love my brother!

Judy and Jesse-
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I remember when the three of you came out to the cottage when we were up for the summer; and seeing Tom also when he had the men's clothing business, and seeing him in his store. We exchanged work stories at the time, as I worked one-year at a men's clothing store in Florida in the summer months while I was in college. Lastly, I Recall when you and Tom first dated, when the Wichs would come up to Michigan and spend time in Mt. Clemens at 980 Crest, 850 Huntington, and/or at 530 Maloney in Oxford. One time a few years ago, Rene and I came over to see you and Tom for a visit at your home. Totally enjoyable, just too short. I recall telling Tom and you about a movie, book and play named BIG FISH. The irony was when Tom had told me that had been a nickname that Tom had. [I think I sent him the book.] The name truly fit him. I don't think that I knew Tom's middle name was Steven; if I did, I had forgotten. Also ironic. Your Mom & Dad [our Uncle Steve and Aunt Jo] and now Tom"] are the guardian angels watching over you and Jesse. Hugs to you both. Love you. Don Wich Jr.

Judy,
This is your cousin Janie. My brother just told me about Tom's passing. Words can't express how sorry I am. You and Jesse are in our prayers and thoughts. May you find peace in your memories and comfort in the love of your family and friends. God Bless. Mary Jane (Janie) and Bruce Sanderson

Judy, this is your cousin Margaret Mary. My husband and I just heard of Tom’s passing, we are very sorry for yours and Jesse’s loss. You will be in our prayers. God bless you. Margaret and Joe LeBlanc

Judy

Judy I´m so sorry to hear about Tom. my deepest condolences to both you and Jesse time was a good man. I´m so sorry for your loss. Kathy D´Amico

Tom was a neighbor and a friend as we grew up together...played numerous sports together...Tom's house was our basketball court......the Nowak's family were just pleasant people...he will surely be missed by all who knew him and his family

Knowing Tom was a joy. Before becoming an educator, Tom studied in the field of chiropractic medicine. To our advantage he changed his career path. Tom was passionate about his field of science and ensured that "all" students understood the curriculum. He made extra time for everyone. A dedicated man, great personality, terrific sense of humor, that is Tom Nowak. My deepest sympathy to Tom´s beautiful wife and son.

I have great memories of Tom! He was always friendly and inviting. No matter who was around he would take the time to say Hi and talk to me. I respected his knowledge and experience. We had great times double dating: Tom and Judy with me and Tom Lesko. I wish we could have spent more time together. It is sad that as we get older we all have health problems to deal with. I´m sorry that Tom had such a heavy load of burden. I rejoice that he has risen above those burdens although we miss him so greatly in our hearts.

Tom was a very caring man and a supremely dedicated teacher and coach. Students under his care were given his best effort each and every day. He will be missed by many!

I have 65 years of memories with Tom and each one of them are filled with joy and laughter! We met as children and grew old together! Played a lot of sports in between. Tom´s heart and caring attitude about people always stood out to me. To say I miss him is a gross understatement, however I will push forward with my 65 years of memories that will sustain me until we meet again on another basketball court!! I love you brother may you rest in peace and comfort.
