We are honoring the life of Thomas Carl Blazowski, a devoted husband, father, and friend who touched countless lives with his kindness and generosity. Thomas was a mentor to many, always ready to offer a helping hand or a listening ear. He lived by the golden rule, loving others as he wished to be loved, and his warmth left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

Thomas’s passion for fitness led him to own a gym, where he inspired others to lead healthy lives. He proudly served his country in the Air Force and spent much of his career in radio and television, cherishing the relationships he built in the industry. After retirement, Thomas and his wife of 57 years, Dianne, enjoyed running a pet sitting business and spending time with their three children, Karen Baddley, Jared Blazowski, and Robert Hartkopf. One of our favorite memories is traveling with him to Krakow, Poland, where he connected with relatives and charmed everyone he met, even thanking the kitchen staff and sharing stories that reminded him of his grandmother.

We are raising funds to help cover the costs of Thomas’s funeral and celebration of life. The services will be coordinated by Dianne, Karen, and Jared, with details to be shared once finalized. In keeping with Thomas’s wishes, those who prefer may donate to the Gary Sinise Foundation in his honor. All support is deeply appreciated, and we encourage you to share your favorite memories of Thom in the comments or on social media. Your kindness and stories mean so much to our family during this time.
