Philip Jacob Tomaszewski (age 71)
June 20, 2021
Philip J Tomaszewski Sr (71), passed away Sunday, June 20, 2021, Father’s Day, at Ascension Macomb-Oakland Hospital. He was born to John and Alexandra Tomaszewski at Detroit Providence Hospital on July 31, 1949. He is survived by his wife, the love of his life, Cathy (nee Srednicki); his children who he adored, Jaclyn (David) Huffman, Adam, and Philip Jr; his siblings, Lucy (Don) Gaskell, Suzanne Bright, John, and Tom (Jo); his Godmother and dear aunt, Lucy Kazmer; his mother-in-law, Alma Srednicki; brother-in-law Dennis (Janet) Srednicki and sister-in-law Ann (Joe) Peczynski; as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins who loved him dearly. He is preceded in death by his parents, John and Alice; his brother-in-law, Gary Bright; his father-in-law, Theodore Srednicki; nephew Ken Gaskell and niece Amy Brede.
Phil graduated from St. Ladislaus High School in 1967. In the early 1970s, he joined the Michigan Army National Guard as a cook, feeding the entire Camp Grayling! He spent most of his years as a 28-year veteran of the Hamtramck Police Department where he retired as Traffic Lieutenant in April 2001. Upon his retirement, Phil went right back to it and became part-time Magistrate for the Wayne County 31st District Court in Hamtramck, as well as working at Rackham Golf Course in Huntington Woods which provided him many free rounds of golf over the years!
Always the avid outdoors man, Phil enjoyed camping with his family, hunting trips up north, and hours spent fishing on the lakes and rivers of Michigan, some trips more successful than others! It would be amiss not to mention his profound love for golf and the many trips across Michigan and other states such as Alabama, Florida and Arizona, to name a few, in search of the elusive hole-in-one. He was able to achieve that milestone at, of all places, his home course, Rackham on the 5th hole! He could also be counted on to provide a laugh to everyone he met, with his arsenal of dad jokes and songs. In addition to family, work and hobbies, Phil was very active in his community. He was a member of the Hamtramck Rotary Club, Knights of Columbus, Moose Lodge and a long-time usher for his parish of Our Lady Queen of Apostles. He was always very involved in his children’s activities including attending all sporting events, plays, and dance recitals where he could always be found with a camera or camcorder in his hands. He also took his role a step further and coached Q of A JV basketball and was team manager for Phil Jr’s Grosse Pointe hockey team.

Very sad the passing of Phil Tomaszewski. I was fortunate enough to know Phil through the years as his neighbor, fellow K of C member and family friend. He wrote me a reference letter to the State bar of Michigan and it meant so much to me, Thanks again Phil.
I remember one time standing on Caniff and Conant with him as he was on his way to Q of A to work as an Usher, he was always there it seemed. A young person with piercings and tattoos who looked pretty rough walked past us and I rolled my eyes and shook my head. Phil in his normal calm demeanor said we are all different and be nice. He impressed me as a very understanding and kind person, a gentle soul. I never once saw him lose his cool or speak poorly of anyone, especially those in the margins.
The Hamtramck community and Police dept were lucky to have him as were all of us to know him. He was a very good and fair Magistrate in Hamtramck’s court. My family sends its condolences to the Tamaszewski family.
Thank you, Dan for sharing such a beautiful tribute. <3
Phil was a truly kind, nice man I always enjoyed talking to. May he rest in peace and God bless.
Cathy,
We are deeply saddened by the news of Phil’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Phil was an outstanding man and VERY involved at our Lady Queen of Apostles. His family was always an important part of getting involved in Hamtramck. I worked with his wife at HPS. My prayers are out to his family and friends!
