Thomas C. Kuchenberg

He caught me at the bottom of the spillway behind Scott Papermill in Menominee. We were 17. We vacationed once together in Door County. He always said that I should have been born royalty because I liked room service. He loved the little video of my grandson, talking about the tragedy of the fruits and vegetables. He was my friend and I will miss everything about him.

Our Family met Tom in the summer of 2011, while walking out to the point at White Point, Cape Breton. Our Children were 7,9 &11. We have seen him every summer since, except 2020. Tom has watched the children grow into young adults. We would look forward to seeing Tom in Cape Breton, enjoying getting together to go hiking, dinners at each others cottages, Bon fires, movie nights and going out to The Chowder House for dinner.He especially loved joining us for Bon Fires on the beach at White...

We have known Tom from his many visits to Door County, WI. Just across Green Bay from Marinette, a convenient stop off for him to visit a myriad of friends. One visit included our wedding reception in Baileys Harbor where a wild night of eating and dancing led Tom to a nap on our cellar door! A trip to Nova Scotia included his generous offer of a night at his cosy cabin. We will miss Tom!

So sorry to hear of Tom's passing. We worked together for many years at HHS and he was always the life of the office. His fun nature and passion for meteorology was always an adventure while watching him explain what was occuring. RIP Tom

I am a Capitol Hill neighbor. I met Tom just in the last couple of years while walking my fox hound, Winston. He was sitting on the stoop reading the paper, and we started chatting. Tom had dog treats, so Winston was an immediate friend. I am so sorry to hear the news of his passing. I will miss randomly running into him on the sidewalk, seeing him on his stoop, and hearing about his adventures.

I first met Tom around 1967. We quickly became friends and remained good friends ever after, He was a warm, generous person who often told some tales, in north country accents that would have us falling down with laughter. He was as quirky as the cats he loved who were as quirky as any cats you have ever seen. In the summer of 1970, I visited him in Door County where he was living in a log cabin on Lake Michigan and had adopted a litter of wild kittens. On my first evening there I was...

We met Tom on a trip to Costa Rica. We enjoyed seeing him a few times a year. Sy had long discussions with him trying to solve world problems. He really enjoyed telling Rita tall tales as she frequently fell for them. He also enjoyed swims in our apartment building pool and brunches at Irelands Four Courts. We will miss him. Our deepest sympathy.

I first met Tom when he worked at the Cellar Door booking musical acts. A totally unique human being with a wonderful sense of humor. The photo was taken when he visited me in Portland in 2020.
