Obituary of Thomas M. Ploskonka

Thomas “Tom” Myron Ploskonka, 71, of Tinton Falls, passed away at home on Friday, April 24th, 2020 after a long battle with cancer. 

Tom was a highly respected CPA who established and led his accounting practice for over 40 years. He was a longtime resident of Holmdel where he served on the town planning board and founded the township’s annual “Holmdel Community Day.”

Tom was also a respected member of the Woodbridge Chamber of Commerce and an active philanthropist. He enjoyed golfing, spending time at the shore, working, cooking, being with his family, playing with his grandchildren, and walking his dog, Buddy.

Those close to Tom would say he was always smiling, a hard worker, had a calm comforting personality, and was a kind hearted person. 

Thomas is survived by his loving wife Debra Ploskonka of Tinton Falls, his children Paul and his wife Tiffany Ploskonka of Collingswood, Jillian Ploskonka of Neptune, his step-children  Dana Pizzo of Colts Neck and Angela and her husband Nick Argano of Manhattan, his brothers John and his wife Elizabeth Ploskonka of Manalapan, James Ploskonka of Sayreville , his sister Carol and her husband Andy Sabine of Jackson. He also leaves behind his beloved grandchildren Thomas, Dominic and Nicolo. 

A private service will be held for immediate family to honor his life. There will be a celebration of life ceremony for family and friends planned at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to the American Cancer Society in Tom's name.
