Thomas Edward Fredericks, age 58, died after a long and hard fought battle with Lymphoma on Friday, October 1, 2010. His loving family was at his side.
Tom was currently a resident of Bloomingdale, New Jersey, but had previously lived in Wayne and was raised in Belleville.
A hard-working man, Tom spent his adult life working as a manager in the recycling business. Once owning his own company, M. Polintinsky and Sons Inc., he then went on to work for Zozzaro Brothers Inc. and finally, Green Sky Industries. It was through his work that he created many important and life-long friendships.
Tom enjoyed staying up to date with politics and often imparted his political knowledge on anyone who would listen. He also spent much of his time outside. He spent many nights and weekends maintaining the landscape of his home and often could be found taking a break to watch the birds. Tom also loved to hunt and fish with his sons and brothers. He reveled in telling the many stories that those outings inspired.
An outgoing man, he could talk to anyone, and often would. Those who knew Tom, as a friend, coworker, as part of their family or even just in passing, knew a man who lived to love. He was a devoted person who would give the shirt off his back to anyone who asked.
Tom was a family man and, regretfully, he leaves behind many who will miss him greatly. Tom was one of 8 children. Mark Fredericks and his wife Connie, Matthew Fredericks and his wife Gerri, John Fredericks, Peter Fredericks, Phillip Fredericks and his wife Marge, Bridgid Fredericks, and James Fredericks along with his wife Kim. He was also lucky to marry into a large extended family of brother and sister-in-laws. Lucy Zozzaro and her husband John, William Bolcato and his late wife Marianne, Louis Bolcato and his wife Joann, the late Connie Barile and her husband Frank and Annette Bolcato along with Arthur Cetrulo. Tom also leaves behind many nieces and nephews who were lucky to have him as their “Uncle Tommy”. Finally, Tom leaves behind great nieces and nephews who he loved dearly and thoroughly enjoyed playing with. Whether they are of times when he made them laugh or times when he stood by them as they cried, all will carry many fond memories of him in their heart.
Above all else though, Tom was an amazing husband and father. He leaves behind his high school sweetheart and wife of 37 years, Marlene (nee Bolcato), his son Thomas, his daughter Tonianne Piccirillo and her husband Michael and his son Vincent. He has gone to join his oldest daughter Cheryl who passed in 2004. If for nothing else, he lived for his family and fought to be with them as long as he could.
