Thomas (Tommy) Lee Buska, 74 of Mosinee WI passed on Sunday, October 9, 2022, at St. Claire Hospital, Weston, WI.
Tom was born in Wausau WI August 2, 1948, to the late John and Clara (Check) Buska. In 1969 Tom married Pamela (Groth) Buska who along with their daughter Jennifer Buska (Mark Greenleaf) survive him.
Tom spent over 21 years serving our great country in the USAF. After retiring from the USAF, he worked many years in the healthcare field before retiring for the last time.
Simple pleasures in life like his cup of coffee and a good book to read topped his list yet curiosity always drove him to have interests in so many things beyond that. To truly know him and how knowledgeable, compassionate, curious about everything, not missing anything going on around him no matter what else he was doing was to truly love him.
Survivors besides his wife and daughter are his sister Arlene Passel, Rothschild WI, his brother Donald Buska, Villages, Fl, sister-in-laws Jackie Buska, MI, Betty Buska, Schofield WI, Sheila Buska CA, brothers-in-law Lon (Jenny) Groth, and Ralph Jaecks added to many nieces and nephews.
Beside his parents he was preceded in death by brothers Leonard, Chester, Norman, Richard, Edwin, Robert, Roland, Jerome, and Rodney, all Buska's and sisters Alice Keck, Dorothy Stark, Mary Buska and Marilyn Jaecks.
A memorial visitation will be held from 10 am until 10:50 am on Wednesday October 19, 2022, at Memorial Chapel Mausoleum, Restlawn Memorial Park, Wausau WI. At 10:50 am a memorial service will begin followed by full military honors. Interment will follow at the mausoleum. In lieu of flowers a memorial fund has been established in Tom's name.
