Thomas Rydlewski, "Tom/Ski" 74, of Brandon, FL passed away November 18, 2022 at Tampa General Hospital.

Thomas was born and raised in New York, NY later moving to Long Island, NY.  He was preceded in death by his parents Anna and William Rydlewski; siblings William and Robert Rydlewski as well as Ann Rescigno and Joan Ryan.

Thomas is survived by his wife Norma Rydlewski; children Janine Schoening, Mary Lambert and Michael Lambert (Reem); grandchildren Jonathan Lambert (Stephanie), Brandon Schoening, Brooke Schoening, and Celina Lambert.

Tom was a selfless, resourceful and loving individual.  He loved his wife Norma more than life itself.  He always encouraged his children and grandchildren to reach for the stars and that anything was possible.  He loved music, dancing, acting and cooking but most of all he loved to help others wherever needed.  He loved animals and children as much as they loved him always making them as happy as everyone else.  His charming, funny and contagious personality will be missed by all who knew him.  Thomas's Celebration of Life Service will be on December 17th, 2022 at 2:00pm at Apostles Lutheran Church 200 Kingsway Rd. Brandon, FL 33510
