Thomas John Biodrowski
March 4, 1936 - May 5, 2017
On May 5, 2017, Thomas John Biodrowski, 81, died at home in Apple Valley, CA, surrounded by family and loved ones. Born in Nebraska on March 4, 1936, Tom moved to Southern California at an early age, where he met his future wife, Genevieve Sciacca. A trained carpenter, Tom worked in construction until he retired. Afterward, he served for several years on the planning commission of the City of El Monte, where he lived most of his adult life. Tom enriched the lives of everyone who knew him, not only his family but also friends and neighbors. For decades he was a fixture in his neighborhood, the man with the right tool to repair anything, always ready to lend a hand to whoever needed help. Tom is survived by his wife, two children (Janette Short and Steve Biodrowski); two grandchildren (Nicholas and Tyler Short), and numerous nieces and nephews; his son Joseph passed away in October 2015. Funeral services at Our Lady of the Desert Catholic Church in Apple Valley at 11:00 a.m. on May 17; rosary at 10:30 a.m. Thanks to the staff at St. Mary’s Medical Center in Apple Valley for their diligence and kindness during Tom’s final days.
