Thomas A. Barski

Tom passed peacefully on June 24, 2019, of Westmont, at the age of 55.

Beloved husband of Pamela A. (nee Litzas). Loving son of Arline M. (nee Brushkoski) and the late Stanley M. Barski.  Beloved father of Austin T. Barski of Pitman, Preston A. Barski (Lorine) of Canada and Stepfather of Amanda M. Messina of Mt. Laurel. Dear brother of Mary Courage (Chris) of Lewes, DE, Catherine Penacoli (Paul) of Laurel Springs, Jean Crossman (William) of Millers Falls, MA, Edward Barski (Joan) of Collingswood, Ellen Callahan (James) of Columbia, MD, and John Barski (Beth) of Haddon Heights.

Tom was a professional driver for most of his life. From a young age, he had the natural ability to drive anything on wheels and with his built-in compass, he never got lost. Growing up in Westmont, he loved to ride his bike through Edison Woods down to Cooper River, and he knew every street in town. He played little league baseball and was a great swimmer. Whenever he went to Crystal Lake pool, he would head for the “high-dive,” and at LBI he dove straight into the biggest waves. He had no fear. His motto in life was, “Just Believe.”

Relatives and friends are invited to attend his Visitation Saturday, June 29th from 10 to 11 AM at Saint Teresa of Calcutta Parish, HOLY SAVIOUR CHURCH, 50 Emerald Ave., Westmont, NJ.  Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated at 11 AM.

Interment will be private.
