God blessed Tom and Nancy with three sons, Mark, Spencer, and Kyle. Tom worked for the Golden Guernsey Dairy Company for the majority of his working career and retired in the late 2000’s. He took pride in his work and providing for his family. For leisure, Tom loved to be outside working in his yard, sitting outside enjoying the beauty, or reading the sports section of the local paper. He was an avid Wisconsin sports fan and enjoyed supporting the Brewers, Bucks, and Badgers, but his true favorite was the Packers. He also had a special connection to wildlife and loved to watch and feed animals in his yard. Tom will be remembered for his outgoing, and sometimes opinionated, personality.
