John Paul Tomasek Sr.

John was my dear friend in grammar school, and we spent many a day playing marbles together. We both attended Martin School, a one-room school in Venice Township, which housed grades from kindergarten through eighth grade. We were classmates until the fourth grade, when I transferred to St. Joseph's parochial school in Owosso. My deepest condolences go out to his family. A couple of years ago, I reached out to John; although I may have lost contact with him since then, he has always been remembered fondly. May God rest his soul. JMJ
