Thomas Neuser Obituary
Waukee - Thomas Vincent Neuser, the son of Charles and Eunice (Gauthier) Neuser, was born March 5, 1942 in Janesville, WI. He was a 1960 graduate of Dowling High School. Following high school, he served in the U.S. Air Force. Tom was passionate about his career at John Deere Des Moines Works, where he worked in a variety of positions and departments, eventually retiring after 34 years there.
Tom was a member of the American Legion and the Elks Lodge. He enjoyed golfing, trips to the casino, and proudly detailing his cars. Tom adoringly shared his recliner with their pet cat, Roxy.
Tom is lovingly remembered by his children: Teresa (Nick) Bazzocco, Tonya Thompson, and Lindsey Duran; grandchildren: D.J., Kelsie, Brenna, and Tyson; great-grandchildren: Quinn (aka Squinnie) and Drew; brother, Ted (Paula) Neuser; sister, Chris Pittman; and his former spouse and current partner, Mary Neuser.
Tom has been cremated and a Celebration of Life Service and interment will take place at a later date. Memorial contributions may be given to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Tom, Kent Blackburn, Ken Beckle, Bob Baker and others were friends in the Happy Days.
He was the Fonz in the bunch of us that frequented the Chili King and other haunts! The CYO dances in Windsor Heights.
His 50 Ford was notorious and well known... by the girls.
Sadly, I lost track of Tom a few years ago.
We had the IDEAL lives as teens!
WONDERFUL MEMORIES!
God speed my long time friend!

Tom was in our golf group in Bella Vista. We always had a good time and golf wasn't always that important, just the fun.

I golfed with him many times in Bella Vista, AR. He had a crazy golf swing but he enjoyed golfing and hanging out with the guys afterward. I will miss him.

My sympathy to Tom's family. We were ornery buddies at St.Theresa grade school and enjoyed each other's friendship at Dowling. What people may or may not know is Tom was an avid writer of juvenile romance stories. Tom also had a great wit about him. I am sorry to read of his death.
