Survived by his two brothers,  David Tomey, whom he lived with and took care of him while he was sick, Michael Tomey; and sister Carol (Tomey) (Don) Boord; Robin Welch, who was not only his niece, but the one who would light up his days at the nursing home. Also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, cousins; and one aunt. There will be no calling hours.
