Thomas Markowski Obituary
Born on December 8, 1945 he was the son of the late John and Valerie (Czika) Markowski. Tom was a lifelong resident of Meriden. He attended local schools and was a graduate of H.C Wilcox Technical High School. He proudly served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Tom was employed as a pressman for most of his working career. He helped print such newspapers as The Wall Street Journal, The New Britain Herald, The Waterbury American, and the Star Ledger.

Tom was a parishioner of St. Stanislaus Church. He was a member of the VA and the Meriden Elks Lodge #35.

Sending our deepest condolences to the Markowski family. Tom was one in a million. We so enjoyed spending time at family events through the years and visits at the cottage with the Markowski/Jurek families. With Covid we will not attend the wake. We hope to attend the services when set. Our thoughts and prayers for comfort are being sent to you.
