Tom J. Banaszak

Tom was one person who always made me feel welcome wherever I was. The smile, the sarcastic comment, the open ear: these are all inherently Tom and not easily replaced. My thoughts, my prayers, my love, my tears are with all who will miss Tom.

I am so sorry for the loss of Tom. I work at the Tampa RSC and Tom was always my "go to" person whenever I had a problem with the computer or printers. He could fix anything! I am so glad that I had the opportunity to know & work with Tom. He will be greatly missed here. Prayers to your family.

Tom,s passing was a shock to me. I can only imagine what blow it was to you and your family. I worked with Tom 20+ years and will miss his positive, upbeat nature. Many a time, he got me out of a funk, with one of his jokes. But while I have lost a friend, you have lost,I know far more. There is nothing I can say to you to diminish that loss. Know that the Good Lord will ease your pain and leave us with rich memories of Tom. Sincerely, Walter Tuzik

To Tom's Family & Friends, I am so sorry for the loss of Tom. I worked with him at Ace for years. Most of the time he worked a different shift than I did but that was great for me. If I had any issues that needed special attention Tom was the guy I wanted to handle them. He took pride in his work no matter how small the task. I could always count on Tom to take care of things for us in the I/O department and he would always follow up on how they were fixed. Tom was very quiet but when he did speak I listened because I knew I could believe and depend on what he said. One of my regrets will be that I never asked Tom if he knew Jesus as his personal savior. I always think there will be another opportunity. I pray he did know Jesus. I pray that people reading this know Jesus. Tom, I hope to see you again some day. Pearl Maness

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss. May the Lord lift you, comfort you and stay close by your side. I joined Ace Hardware in 2002 and have had the oppotunity to work with Tom since. In addition to his unselfish willingness to share everything he knew about the ins and outs of ROSS, he had ability to share a joke or story to lift your spirits. Nobody will be able to fill his chair in quite the same way and he will be missed. God bless....
