Thomas "Tom" Zolnier

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!
