I'm shocked to be reading this today.
Tom was always there with a smile and kind words.
He always spread the music around.
Thanks for everything over the years good friend .
You will be missed by many .
RIP PaTom :(

I am lucky to be able to say PA Tom was my friend and my tour buddy. We saw so many shows together starting with the beacon run 2008 and our last show together was solo bobby show at the Kirby center, Pa. I will treasure all the memories forever and I'm grateful for all the wonderful people I met through Tom and grateful for having him as a friend.

Thank you Tom. I will miss u.

((((Rest in peace PA Tom))))

((((Family, friends, mojo and b.d.))))

Tom was more than just a friend. He was family to me. I met him at a very early .Org Meet and Greet in Camden. He and Lazygate (Rob) took me in right away. I was by myself and they did everything to welcome me and make me feel comfortable. I was taken aback by his laid back nature and how easy he was to get along with. I liked him instantly and we always made an effort to find each other at all the shows he went to. Dsabo45 already beat me to all the CD's that guy has given me over the years. Just this past summer he was INSISTENT that I come to the Honey Hole Hoedown up near Hazelton, PA to come and see Mark Karan's Budz. Boy, am I ever so glad I did!! It was the last time we were to be together. It was worth every minute. He was a great man, I only hope I took the time enough to say that to him. Those words come to late now. :(

I spoke breifly to his girlfriend Bernadette on facebook. At Tom's personal request, there will be no viewing and no funeral. Tom expressed that he wanted a Life Celebration instead (sounds like him, huh?). His sister will organize it, but she will be waiting for the weather here in Northeast PA to clear. He specifically wanted something outdoors. Stay tuned on Facebook those of you who are on there. Myself or one of his many friends will post something on here as soon as we know more.

Life is short. These last few deaths in our .org family prove that. Choose love and kindness everyday. Anything less is a waste. :neutral:

Wow this is just horrible. He was the first .orger i met and it was up at Hampton Beach, it was the first show i ever went to alone. Between him and JJ they introduced me to countless amounts of o.rgers that day and i never was or felt alone.I had just pulled into the lot and within a few minutes he pulled up a few cars over. I had seen many pictures of him here prior to that day and went right over to him and introduced myself and said hey your are PA tom to him and gave him a beer. really a very nice guy. RIP Tom :(
such a long long time to be gone, and a short time to be there

Rest in peace Tom. We only met briefly but I still remember your smile. You clearly touched many people. Have a safe journey to the other side.

Tom and I ran into the boys after a Radio City show
The gods who have been appointed to be our companions in the dance,
have given us the pleasurable sense of harmony and rhythm;
and so they stir us to life, and we follow them,
joining together in dances and songs.

I always thought that Tom's voice sounded like Jerry. -I used to tell him that. -I'm still so sad.

PaTom's obit from his local newspaper today

Thomas M. Faleshock, 47, of McAdoo entered into eternal rest Saturday in the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, after an extended illness.

Born in Hazleton, he was the son of Rita Faleshock and the late Thomas N. Faleshock.

He was a member of All Saints Catholic Church, McAdoo.

Tommy was a gentle man who loved the outdoors. He loved walking in the woods, gardening and fishing. He loved fresh air, sunshine and walking barefoot in his vegetable garden. He was an avid supporter of local music, and gave of himself to support a cause dear to his heart, animal welfare.

Tommy is survived by his mother, Rita; his sister, Lisa Blake and her husband, Brian Blake; and two nephews, Jonathan and Zachary, and Zachary’s wife, Teonna.

Tommy will be greatly missed by his family, his friends and all those whose lives he touched.

Tommy was preceded in death by his brother, Michael R. Faleshock, in 1991.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated March 14 at 10 a.m. at All Saints Catholic Church. Burial will be private.

Rest in Peace Brother Tom. Eternally grateful because your constant recommendations that we check out the band Cabinet and the Bears Picnic festival introduced me to a great band and gave me the chance to meet some great people off this board at Bears. My only regret was you were not there that weekend (had a wedding to attend I believe) and never had the chance to meet such a kind soul.
