Thomas Perlberg Obituary

Perlberg, Thomas P. While surrounded by his family's love passed peacefully to be with our Lord on Tues., April 3, 2012, at the age of 91. After honorably serving his country in World War II, he met and married Esther Bonk and began his family with the birth of his daughters Susan (Doug Tersen) Perlberg and Shirley (Boyd) Harwood. He is also survived by his grandchildren Bobby (Lisa), Michael (Chelsea), Andrew Harwood, great - grandchildren Chloe, Jenna and Ella Harwood. After Esther's passing Thomas married Veronica Mullen who also preceded him in death. Further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends, and his loving canine buddy, Mychie. After his retirement Thomas wanted to give back to the community and did so by devoting his volunteer time to the Brookfield Senior Center's exercise and bridge groups. He enjoyed Brewers baseball and played senior softball until age 83. We love you Dad, Grandpa and Great-Grandpa and you will be dearly missed by all. Visitation will be held Monday, April 9, at St. Mary's Visitation Parish, 1260 Church St., Elm Grove, from 10AM until the time of Mass of Christian Burial at 11AM. Entombment to follow at Wisconsin Memorial Park. Memorials appreciated to St. Mary's Visitation Parish or the Brookfield Senior Center.
