He owned Tom Dorn Pharmacy in Brookfield from 1957 to 1986 and worked in several pharmacies in the Brookfield area before retirement. He was dedicated to serving his customers and his community. He was an active member of the New Berlin Kiwanis Club for many years, serving as President during the 1960's. Tom was an avid golfer, thespian, and singer, singing tenor with the Apothecanaries, a seven-man barbershop quartet which he formed with fellow pharmacy students during his years in pharmacy school at UW-Madison. The group continued to perform at reunions and get-togethers, and many of its members' children were serenaded by the group at their weddings. Tom and his wife were avid Wisconsin Badger fans, meeting for the first time at the 1952 Rose Bowl. They returned to Pasadena in 1994 and 2000 to cheer their Badgers on to victory. Tom was also a devoted fan of the Green Bay Packers. Until his illness, he and Barbara enjoyed golfing and traveling together throughout the United States. He was a great lover of music, and especially enjoyed being involved with the Kids from Wisconsin, a touring summer musical group consisting of talented young people from across the state. He passed his love of music on to his children, two of whom were in the Kids (one of whom is now the producer), and all of whom pursued music as vocation and avocation. He was beloved as a kind man, loving husband, devoted father, and caring grandfather.
