For many years Tom has joined us in supporting Maggie and Sam in all their activities on the playing field,musical recitals,or school activities. We cherish . those good times

I played softball with Dawn on Mr. Tom's Rosedale Softball Team and have never forgotten all the fun we had.  Mr. Tom was the best coach and sometimes even took us for root beer floats after games!  My thoughts and prayers are with you - June, Dawn, and Lisa - during this difficult time. 

What a wonderful father, father-in-law and grand-dad!  He will be missed and remembered with much affection.


So sorry for your loss.  Sending prayers.  He was such a charming gentleman.  He stopped by Baldwin Mechanicals office for many years always with a smile and a joke.  He will be missed.

I worked with Mr. Tom for about 10 years at Hudak's Insulation .  He was a kind and gentle man.  They are very rare these days.  He could always put a smile on your face.  He loved to joke and carry on.  He loved his family especially his two daughters and his grandchildren.  I was happy I called him on his 86th birthday not knowing it would be his last one.  You will be missed.

So sorry to hear of the passing of a wonderful man.  My teenage years and early twenties are filled with wonderful memories of the Bocek family.  I raise my beer to you, Petey!  Cheers!  

My best to Mother June, Dawn, Lisa, Keith, and Craig.

I have knowm Tom since 1998 when he started working at Hudak's part time.  He would be my lunch bell always making sure I would stop working
and have lunch with him.  He was always there to make me laugh with his jokes and stories especially if I had a bad day.  Boy his stories were always so amusing and funny especially his golf stories.
We would talk at lunch about his grandchildren, he loved them so much and very proud of their accomplishments.  
Even after he left Hudak's Tom and I would make a lunch date once a month so we could catch up and keep in touch.  I am going to miss our lunches together, you were my breath of fresh air.    You are going to be missed by all.  My sympathy and love to you June and your family.
