He was a longtime member of St. Zita Catholic Church, in Masontown, and was a lector and Eucharistic minister.

He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 49 years, Wilma Lourene (Feather) Tomczewski, in 1995; two sisters and three brothers.
Friends may call at Field Funeral Home, in Masontown, from 4 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 29, until the 8 p.m. vigil prayer service with Fr. Andrew Switzer officiating. To honor his wishes, he will then be cremated and a memorial Mass will be held at St. Zita Catholic Church, in Masontown, at a later date.
