This is a picture of Tom and I (Rich Breen) in Munich, West Germany during our 30 day backpacking trip through Europe in June 1977 right after we graduated from the University of Scranton. Tom and I were room mates our junior and senior years in college. He holds a very special place in my heart. We love you and miss you Tom.
Rich and Lorrie Breen
It was a beautiful service today & so hard to believe that TC is not with us on this earth. He will always live on in our wonderful memories! We sure miss him saying "Hey" when we would see him. Ed says he will never forget & has so many memories from 6 New Castle Street. Love & prayers for all of the family & friends that miss him so much.

Tom,
Your kindness, patience, positive attitude and love....will all live in our hearts forever. School, gym class, the pond walk will never be the same without you, but your gentle voice and smile will never be forgotten. You always made everyone feel calm and want to be a better person. I feel very fortunate to have known you and worked with you. You have touched many young children with special needs in so special ways and made a big difference in their lives each day. Rest in peace, Tom.
We watched you watching your brothers ,sisters, nieces, and nephews at all their sporting events. Always a bright smile and a warm hello to greet us. Tommy, I will always remember you getting through those courses to become a teacher. You really have done an outstanding job with children who have Special needs. Big Jim and I love you as we have loved the entire Coveleski family. Yes, a bright light has gone out on this earth, but a beautiful star will shine bright to let us know you are with us. Tommy you fought the best fight of your life, we may look at that fight as a lose, but God looks at it as a win. Rest now and know you will live in eternity without pain. We will say goodbye for now, but we are going to you again. With love, Big Jim and Deb Weeks
"Top Cat" was one of the nicest guys of all time! He was one of my biggest supporters as a coach. Whenever I saw him, he always had something nice to say. I will be coaching a basketball game today, Indian River vrs. CR and know "Top Cat" will be on our side!
Coach B.J. Joseph
The Minni Family lit a candle at St. Jude's Church in Tom Covelski memory.
T.C was my football coach at Rehoboth Junior High..He was a great coach and mentor. Every time I saw T.C he had a special way of telling a memory of being a Rehoboth Seahawk. He will be missed.
Anyone who had the fortune of knowing Tommy in any form, be it as a passing acquaintance or as a life-long friend should consider themselves lucky. Tommy never raised his voice, never had a bad thing to say about anything or anyone, and always had a smile on his face. There are not many people like that in this world.
I am a better person as a result of having Tommy as a colleague, and more importantly as a friend. We should all strive to emulate the many admirable characteristics that Tommy displayed each and every day.
Tommy,
You fought a courageous battle and you will live on forever in the hearts and minds of all you touched. I am grateful you were my friend.
