Tom was born on June 28, 1932 in Suchcice, Poland the son of the late Mikolaj and Kazimiera (nee Grabowska) Kaluza and passed away unexpectedly on May 17, 2015.

Beloved husband of the late Jadwiga (nee Bucinski) Kaluza who passed away in 1973; loving father of Margerita (Phillip) Romanello of Lake Zurich, IL, Matthew (Penny) Kaluza of Newburgh, IN and Nicolette (Thomas) Sulek of Lawrenceville, GA; cherished Dziadzia of Justin, Alison (Richard) Kuebler, Peter and Lucas Romanello, Aaron and Jordan Kaluza, Jeremy, Cody, Henry and Clara Sulek; great-grandfather of Abigail Kuebler; brother of the late Andrzej Kaluza.

As his whole life was testimony, there is nothing he wouldn’t do or distance he wouldn’t travel to be with his family.  On his way Sunday to meet his first great-grandchild, his journey would come full circle to instead be reunited with his beloved wife, brother and parents, where he is undoubtedly celebrating in heaven.  His example to family devotion will be our unending goal.  We will miss you terribly and ask you to help us through this unbearable time.  Rest in peace, Tata.
