Gene Stanley Tomczak

Gene Stanley Tomczak, age 83 of Lansdale, passed away on Sunday, January 14, 2024. Gene was born on August 14, 1940, son of the late Stanley and Loretta (Licwinko) Tomczak. He was the beloved husband of the late Joyce (Riegel) Tomczak for over 52 years. Gene was born and raised in Conshohocken. He attended St. Mary’s Church and grade school. He was a Class of 1956 graduate of St. Matthew High School. He went on to enlist in the United States Army Reserve, serving his country honorably for six years. Gene also studied at Villanova and Temple Tech. Early on in his working life, he was employed by Jaguar on the Mainline, Viking Pool, Fence Masters and Western Electric, which is where he met the love of his life, Joyce, at a company party. Gene was best known as the owner/operator of Pat’s Bar on Elm & Maple Streets in Conshohocken, where he forged many lifelong friendships. He loved to have a good conversation with everyone he met and, without fail, he would run into someone he knew, no matter how far from home he traveled. Gene was an avid musician who played multiple instruments and was a member of several bands performing throughout the Tri-State area, most notably The Four Fashions. He also spent time as a liturgical guitar player. His hobbies included skiing, Nascar, attending car shows, riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle and traveling the United States, even making more than one cross-country road trip. Gene was well known for being a generous volunteer to organizations that were close to his heart, including AMBUCS, Meals on Wheels and St. Vincent de Paul Society, and he was a proud member of the Hatfield American Legion Post 933. Above all, Gene was a family man, who deeply touched all those fortunate enough to call him a friend. Gene is survived by his daughters, Christine (Bo) Donovan and Stacy (Bill) McCann, along with his son, Jeff (Brittany). He was the proud “Pop” to his six grandchildren Liam, Erin, Lindsay, Matthew, Jessica and Connor, who brought so much joy to his life. Gene is also survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his brothers, Ray and Harry.
