Tome J. Petrovski

Tome J. Petrovski, loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and devoted friend, entered into eternal rest on December 12, 2020 after a short battle with bone cancer. He was a hardworking man with a big heart who loved unconditionally and was loved by all. Tome was born April 16, 1950 in Bitola, Macedonia to the late Jordan and Milica (Popovic) Petrovski and although he moved to the United States at the young age of 21, he loved Macedonia and returned often. He has been a successful entrepreneur since1985 in the bar and restaurant industry. His greatest joy was owning and operating Jordan's Deli in Gahanna with his family and provided an environment where people could be happy. He loved golf, pool league, hot peppers, OSU football, Red Star soccer, poker, casino nights, Wednesday lunch with his friends and above all else, he loved his church and his family. Tome was a drummer for the Macedonian community and his heart truly beat with the drum. It was at church that he met his wife, Slavica "Sally" (Brutovski) who accepted his hand in marriage on January 19, 1977. They were blessed with three children: Emily (Jayson) Raphael, Jordan Petrovski and Michelle (Jove) Domazetovski. It was not until recently that Tome experienced one of the greatest joys in life, his new role as Dedo (grandpa). He felt pure love for little Jaxson, Weston and Zaneta. Other family members who enriched his life include his sister Angelina (Dimitar) Ivanovski and nephews Vladimir (Snezhana) and Ivo (Lidija) along with great nieces Iva and Lora; Zlatko Gyorgovski (son of deceased sister Liljana (Aco)); Slobodanka (wife of deceased brother Pece Petrovski) and nieces Milica and Natasha and their families.
