Edward J Tomaszewski Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Tomaszewski, Edward J., 79, a resident of Tinton Falls, NJ, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family on December 7, 2020. He was born in Jersey City, NJ and raised there by his parents, Edward and Mae. While he spent many years in Rutherford and Tinton Falls, you could never truly take the Jersey City out of the man. Nor could you disassociate him from his “Jersey City Contingent”, lifelong brothers who he continued sharing laughs with and of course every Super Bowl! An Army veteran and jack-of-all trades in early adulthood, he later discovered his true talents as a gifted artist. For over 30 years, his iconic works made him one of the most renowned billboard artists in Manhattan and beyond. His home in Rutherford reflected his artistry, Norm Abrams-level carpentry and endless time spent on making it perfect. He was legendary for his commitment to body building but as strong as he was in body, his real strength was in his devotion as a husband, father and friend. His memory will live on in the hearts of all of those who knew him and peered into those piercing blue eyes, gentle and strong. He is survived by his adoring wife of 34 years, Angelina, and children, Tammy Lee and Charlie, Eric and Michelle, Jaclyn and son-in-law Chris, and Alex and Kristen. In recent years, he relished every opportunity to teach all of his grandchildren (Zachary, Maximilian, Lucian, and Olivia) the finer points of manners, etiquette and the English language. He is also survived by his dear sister, Dorothy and loving in-laws, Frank and Dana and his nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, donations to the American Cancer Society at www.cancer.org/donate or Wounded Warrior Project at www.woundedwarriorproject.org/donate are greatly appreciated.
