My condolences to the Zostant family. I worked with Tom when he was a sales manager in the Long Island office of the yellow page publisher
RH Donnelley. Our friendship carried through to the current times when he persuaded me to venture a stint with "Thomas Register". Tom always made me and others laugh and exuded great enthusiasm when in his presence.
He will be sorely missed, but his memory will live on in those who respected him. God speed Tom....

I am so very sorry to learn of Tommy's passing. We grew up together on McArdle Avenue. I'll always remember his wonderful blonde curly hair, broad smile and wonderful chuckle of a laugh. He'll always remain 10 or 11 in my mind. My deepest sympathy to his family.

Dear Holly and Family,
Just herd the news about Tommy. We go way back....from touch football, tag, St Georges Church, chasing each other, throwing snow balls, baseball, chasing Anthony Cochetti, going to football games, cyo dances and long hot summers. We had a great, great time. I liked Tommy alot. All the best.

Dear Family,
I grew up on McArdle Ave. with Tommy and Linda. Tommy was older than me but I'll never forget the touch football and wiffle ball games we played in the street. All of the younger kids in the neighborhood looked up to Tommy, he was also the neighborhood newspaperboy. I was saddened to read about his passing away and want to let the Zostant family know that he was an extraordinary guy who won't be forgotten.

Holly and Family,
I am truly saddened to hear of Tom's passing. His recent comments to The Story of Albany in the Times Union helped to resurrect memories for many of us. Rest assured that our memories of him, being the wonderful person that he was, will last forever.

Dear Zostant family,
I'm very sad to hear of Tom's passing. We were boyhood buddies in Albany and schoolmates at OLA and altar boys together at St. George's. We also played baseball together. I remember him as a nice guy with a great sense of humor. Be assured that your whole family will be in my prayers.

Holly,
I'm so very sorry to hear of the loss of Tom. He and I worked together back in our high school days, he never failed to make me laugh. He was one in a million, and I shall miss him.

Dear Holly, Linda Aswad and Family,
I am so very sorry to hear of your terrible loss. When I was hanging out with his sister, Linda, in high school, I remember Tom playing the drums and he taught me one of his special beats that I can still do today. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Losing a husband (as I did many years ago) is something you can't describe to people but I am sure Tom will be watching over you helping you get through this. God does seem to take the good ones first. Sincerely, Paula Fox

Holly and Family,
Were so sorry for the loss of Tom, he was the orignal"Good Guy". I have fond memories of us growing up in Arbor Hill and playing baseball in the Babe Ruth League. He sold my wife (Claire Potrzuski)and I our first life insurance policy when he worked for Equiable. He had a smile that could light up a room. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.

To My Dearest Friend Holly:
I am so sorry for your loss. To know Tom was certainly to love him. He had a personality bigger than life and leaves behind a wonderful legacy with Lori and Tucker and most definitely your grandchildren. I hope you find peace in your memories of Tom and take comfort from all those around you who love you dearly.
With love,
Tawny
