So sorry to hear of Tom's passing...I remember him for being a kind person and his talent as a water skier...it was always so much fun watching him ski in the ski shows up North...and getting together at family gatherings in Port Edwards at Christmas time... in the later years I enjoyed visiting with him when we would go to Turtle Lake...he was a kind man...
My sincere condolences,
Mary Clare

So sorry for your loss. I will always remember his laugh.
Your cousin,

Tom was a great friend and associate thru all our meetings and tournaments for Wisconsin Show Water Skiing events. He will be missed. Don & Yvonne Kaelber

Tom was a wonderful person and a pleasure to work with for many years. My condolences to his family.

Tom was at AHS, class of 62, with me. He was such a nice person & impressed everyone when he & his brother water skied barefoot! In later years, he became good friends with my son, jim, via his son, Mark, and they enjoyed many hours in the North Woods of Wis. Pleas know you all have my deepest sympathy and may Tom's soul rest in peace. God Bless,
