Rogozewicz

Thomas J. Rogozewicz, born July 23, 1939, of Aliquippa, Pa., passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, at the age of 86.

He was a beloved husband, devoted father and cherished grandfather, leaving behind a legacy of love and joy for his family and friends.

Affectionately known as “Tom,” he was preceded in death by the love of his life, Rose Marie. Together, they built a loving home filled with laughter and compassion that will live on through their family. Tom was the proud father of two daughters, Beth and Juli; and a doting Pappap to his grandchildren, Cody Schillo (Lauren), Alyssa Schillo and Kaylee (Zach) Davy; and his great-grandchildren, Aaran and Summer. He is also remembered as a caring brother to Betty (John) Moraca; his sisters-in-law, Francis (Ern) Calhoon and Kristin (Ed) Sabom; and was uncle to many nieces and nephews.

Tom’s work ethic was second to none and there was no doubt he loved his family more than anything in the world. He taught his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren the importance of family and living life in the most meaningful way — together. Tom served his country in the Air Force during the Vietnam era. Alongside his wife, Rose, he owned and operated several Tastee-Freez ice cream stores and a family restaurant, Big Tee Family Restaurant. The restaurant was truly a family affair and a place where friends gathered daily. After leaving the restaurant business, Tom worked for the U.S. Postal Service, from which he eventually retired.

In his spare time, Tom enjoyed camping with his family, going to the casino with his sister and watching his favorite sports teams — the Steelers, Penguins, Pirates and Penn State football. He also loved working in his yard and relaxing in his hammock.

The family would like to thank the extraordinary staff at Bridges Hospice for all their kindness and loving care.
