Tom Nardelli - what a man. I will never forget you. Sir. I was one of the AGR Sergeants assigned to the 1st Battalion of the 4th Brigade of the 84th Division (Tng) in the 1980s. You were my boss as the SSAA of the Brigade.You taught me many things and I'm glad I knew you. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Blessings.

Carol and I would like to express our deepest sympathy to you Marcia and the entire Nardelli family for your tragic loss. As you recall we first became friends with Tom and yourself through our association at Corpus Christi Catholic Church. In 1991 Tom convinced me to run for Alderman in Milwaukee's 5th District and with his help we were successful.l This was followed by the next eight 8 years wherein Tom acted as my mentor, but more importantly my great friend. Marcia he will be missed by many and is now in a far better place. Again, Carol and I will pray for your well being and for your family,'
With Our Love and Prayers-
Dan and Carol Schramm

Our condolences to Marcia and the Nardelli family at this time. Tom was a great guy, stubborn, but straight-forward at all times. He will continue singing the praises of the Lord in his new residence. There will always be a "tenor" spot for him. Jim, Debby, Tim, and Nick David, St. A's choir

My deepest sympathy and prayers to the Nardelli family,, I just got an email from Jim Wahner who lives in Mercer, Wis. Tom was a cousin of mine.
I am Susan Gehrke Mueller. The daughter from Delores Leoni And Guido Leoni. I had lived in Milwaukee for several years, and now I am permanently living in Florida. I have always read and watch news articles of Tom. He has done so much for the Milwaukee area.
There will be no one out that will do the job that Tom has done for public. Milwaukee will miss you dearly.....prayers to the family.

Tom you always amazed me. I knew you were headed for big things and responsibilities. I lost track of you and did not pay attention to local politics but I strongly concur with everything I have read. You were a class act.

To many Tom was the public figure, to us he was the "glue" that held Venata together. Our thoughts are with all of you, and while the challenges will be there for you, you have so many fond memories of Tom that will give you all a smile each day. He would want for all of you to continue on his path of always being upbeat. Our thoughts, prayers, and appreciation to all of you. The Borga Family

My deepest condolences to Tom's family first and foremost. He was a kind person who always believed in me. We met when I waited on him and the St. Anthony's choir after practice every Thursday and our friendship continued when I began bartending at NHCC. He always supported me and he will never be forgotten in my heart. Rest in peace and God bless

Tom was my CO & Mentor in 452nd Gen. Hosp. After my retirement, we became friends. Thank you Mrs. Nardelli for sharing him w/us! It was an honor & a privilege that I will not forget. Tom was honest, kind & truthful. He inspired me to be "the best I could be," both as a Senior NCO & as an Officer. We share in your loss. May the Lord watch over you & your family.

My condolences to Tom's family and friends. I had the privilege of working with Tom during his time with S&B. He spoke so highly of his family and his civic commitments that it was an honor to get to know him. It was a sad day for the entire division when he retired for he left a large footprint that few have come close to filling.

Marcia and family,
My deepest condolences on the loss of Tom. It was an honor to know him and will miss him. He accomplished a lot in life and was very proud of his family.
I suspect he is golfing and having a cigar with Mike Cobus right now.

I worked with Tom when he was chair of the Common Council's Finance and Personnel Committee. I was always impressed with his frankness and honesty. We are better off because Tom was here.

Boss, mentor but most of all Friend.
Tireless and convicted. He was my mentor for 14 years at the 452d GH and I will always remember his guidance.
Tom, you will always be remembered as a straight shooter and a power to be reconned with.
You will be missed.
