Thomas Ernest Kovacs

A memory . . . spring, Tom's Dad's red Chrysler convertible. Top down. Cruising E Washington with Tom, John, Art, Fred. 1958. Oh there were a few trips to Union Grove dragstrip on Sundays.

My dear, sweet, funny friend...I will miss you.

Memories of Tom were forged in our elementary and high school years and will last forever: Queen of Peace and Edgewood, Tom' singing in Pirates of Penzance, working as carry out boys at Century Foods, beer and brats at Road America, Elkhart Lake , our graduation trip to New York City, lunch at Sardis. He will live on in our memories. Rest in Peace.

My memories and feelings of Dad are holidays, Mom and Dad always welcomed myself and my children as if we were there blood family not daughter-in-law and her kids, most of my children were able to spend the last few Thanksgivings with our Kovacs family, the love I felt from him as a Dad will last with me for life, I am the lucky one to Dave got to know him and saddens me I won't see his goofy hats on him on the holidays, that always made me smile. I love you Dad.

Rest peacefully, Tom. You will be missed. MYNWA.
