Jerome John Tobianski, age 87, of Toledo, Ohio, passed away December 13, 2023, at Kingston Care Center of Sylvania. Jerome was born March 31, 1936, in Toledo, to the late Harry and Stella (Piorkowski) Tobianski.
Jerome graduated from Central Catholic High School. He worked for Dana Corp. as a supervisor, where he retired after 35 dedicated years.
A man of faith, he was an active member and past Usher of St. Clement Catholic Church and The Knights of Columbus.
In retirement, Jerome enjoyed going to the golf course, taking trips to the lake with his family, where he had a special seat on the pontoon, known as the "Captains Chair" and excelled at playing corn hole, where he won first place when he was 82 years old. Jerome was an active bowler and played in a league for many years; just four weeks ago, he bowled five strikes in a row!
Most of all, family was most important. The memories spent together will forever be remembered by his children and grandchildren. His infectious smile and love will forever be missed. This is not goodbye, but we will see you again!
Those left to forever cherish his memory are his loving children, Susan (Mark) Reed, Mary Ann Tobianski, Catherine Laney and John (Joe) Tobianski-Horak; seven grandchildren; eleven great grandchildren; one great great grandson; two brothers, Ronnie (Connie) Tobianski and Dennis (Norma) Tobianski; a sister, Carol (Mike) Slovek; sister-in-law, Connie Tobianski; and numerous nieces and nephews.
