In Memory of Born: April 20, 1932 - Died: November 27, 2013
Thomas B. Mon of Berkeley
Heights, NJ passed away at Overlook Medical Center,
Summit, on Wednesday, November 27, 2013 at the age of
81.
After Tom retired a group of us used to meet once a year to celebrate Toms birthday in his home town at a local restaurant. We did this every year until a few years ago when Tom could no longer move from his home. My last memory of Tom was about a year or so ago myself and John Korek went to visit him at his home.
It was heartbreaking, Tom
was always a very strong and vibrant man his whole life,
he loved life and there he was a shell of the man who
was my friend. I cried after that day, I knew he would
pass soon my heart broke to see him this way and his
wife Sarah was so brave, she took care of Tom for many
years in his debilitated condition. She refused to put
Tom in a nursing home, he was a very proud man, I will
surely miss Tom. I have such good memories of Tom going
back more years than I care to remember.

When Tom was the Manager
of the PABT I used to sneak away every so often to have
breakfast with him at the Bus Terminal. Tom would
always manage to get away from work to meet a few of us
from the WTC in Chinatown at least a few times a year.
Tom was always a big kid at heart that’s why we all got
along so well.
