Tom was an excellent musician, taking an interest in music from an early age. He was especially talented at playing the Guitar and Drums, and could play just about any instrument he picked up. His house was full of all kinds of music, records and uncommon instruments that he delighted in showing and playing for his friends and family. His skills brought him into the world of the Blues, where he became a member of the Jack Todd and the Chronic Blues Band, playing gigs at various venues within the Erie area. His sense of humor was infectious and he was always ready for a good laugh! He was loved by his friends and family who will carry him in their hearts always. He will be dearly missed.
Tom is survived by brother Mark Kulich (Sandi), sisters Paulanne Reske (Michael) and Mary Novonty. The family would like to thank the staff Brevillier Village for their excellent care, and a special thanks to Melinda with Lakeland Hospice.
There will be no calling hours per Tom's wishes. Funeral arrangements were made by the Russell C. Schmidt & Son Funeral Home Inc., 5000 Wattsburg Rd., Erie, Pa 16504.
