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.

We were very surprised and upset when we didn’t hear fromTom when we needed him most through this pandemic and we were forced to get another Accountant ASAP. We did, but it wasn’t Easy, Eric struggled with even telling Tom we needed a new Accountant. So, Eric had Me call the office. (Eric’s wife,Becky) Eric would have many Personal talks with Tom and he would always Listen with that non-shalont demeanor of his. The Bond Described by Eric, Their relationship felt more than Client and CPA . So, Eric had me call the office to report his finding of a new accountant to make closure.(Becky, Eric’s Wife). That day, I had to tell him the reason he hadn’t heard from Tom, I circled around the conversation until he got home from work to tell him in person. There were many tears shed in that moment. We all will miss Tom and definitely some more than most, but he is at peace and he will “lay down in Greener pastures”.

It saddens me greatly to learn of Tommy's passing. He and I had become friends when my sister Joan Holton Ploskonka began dating his older brother, John when she was 16 and I just 11. I remember going to see, of all things, Psycho at the drive-in with them. Tommy and I spent most of the time at the snack stand, enjoying the food and each other. I will always remember him with a shy but happy smile on his face. My sincerest condolences are offered to his loved ones. R.I.P. old friend.
