Thomas J. Harwell

Harwell, Thomas J. September 2, 1955 - April 12, 2007. After being lovingly cared for by Leslie, his devoted wife of 28 years, Tom lost his courageous battle with cancer and was born again to eternal life on April 12, 2007. He is survived by his beloved wife Leslie (nee Brooks); daughters, Natalie (Jason) Eiting and Erica; loving mother Loretta Harwell, Houston, TX; brothers Drew (Carol)Harwell and David Harwell; mother and father-in-law Lenore and Ronald Brooks; sister-in-law Laurie (William) Weigel; brother-in-law David Brooks. He is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and dear friends. He was preceded in death by his father, Thomas F. Harwell. Tom had a big heart, a warm fuzzy soft spot, and the patience of a saint. He spent his final working years as a craftsman building with his heart as well as his hands. He is impossible to replace or duplicate, and will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. A memorial service will be held Friday, April 20, 2007 at 11 AM for family and close friends at Saint Florian Parish at 1233 S. 45th St., West Milwaukee, WI 53214. In lieu of flowers, memorials to the family would be greatly appreciated. Online condolences may be sent to www.schinderle.com
