Owner & Operator of Madison Jewelers Thomas Losonci, 56, of Trumbull, passed away on Saturday, January 23, 2010 after a long and heroic battle with cancer. His loving wife Pam was by his side. Born in Budapest, Hungary in 1953, Tom moved to the United States with his family in 1957 and spent most of his adolescent years in Bridgeport. He attended both Central High School and the University of Bridgeport, and later moved to Trumbull where he lived with his family until his death. Tom and his mother Magda were owners of Madison Jewelers on Black Rock Turnpike, Fairfield. Tom used his business as an opportunity to help others and was an active contributor to children's charities, town athletic leagues and other significant causes like Fairfield County's Swim Across the Sound for cancer research. He was predeceased by his maternal grandparents, Gaza and Mary Dorogi, Uncle and Aunt, Andrew and Ethel Voll, his stepfather, Alexander Wolf, father-in-law, Casimir Gersz and nephew Matthew Gersz.

Tom had a zest for life. He lived every moment to its fullest and for his family. He coached his boys in basketball and baseball, contributed to their schools and his greatest joy was playing with his boys in the backyard or taking them fishing.
