Thomas “Tom” Michael Zolnier, of Masury, Ohio, passed from this life on Sunday, March 20, 2022. He was 73.
Thomas was born November 23, 1948, in Sharon, Pennsylvania, a son to Michael Anthony and Pearl Mae (Kovach) Zolnier.
A 1967 graduate from Brookfield High School, Tom worked as a shoe salesman for many years at Reyers Shoe Store, in downtown Sharon, and later for Walmart, in Hermitage, Pennsylvania.
He was a member of St. Thomas the Apostle Parish, Vienna, Ohio. In his spare time, he enjoyed swimming in his pool, and driving his convertible. In addition, he was a huge “James Bond” movie buff.
However, Tom may be best remembered for his unique laugh… tehehe!
