Dear Koxciolek Family: We would at this time like to extend our most sincere condolences on the recent death of Tom. I knew Tom for years with his service to the WB fire Dept. He was a great guy and a good friend who will be missed by all who knew him. Great Keilbasa was his speciality. Our thoughts&prayers are with your entire family at this time.
