BLUE MOUNDS - Thomas Dale Cline, age 57, passed away at home on Monday, March 7, 2022 after a courageous battle with Gastric Cancer.
Tom attended Mineral Point High school, met his wife Tena Ihus at Methodist Church youth group and they were married August 3, 1985.
Tom was employed at UW Madison for 37 years, with 35 of those years at Camp Randall Sports Center. He loved driving the Zamboni and taking care of the facility. "Go Badgers".
Tom was heavily involved with scouting since his son Jonathan became a cub scout. He was a Den Leader for Cub Scouts then Committee Chair of Troop 62 when Jonathan transferred to Boy Scouts.

Tom mentored not only scouts but countless others on on the art of making ice and running a Zamboni, including both of my children. So sad to lose someone so kind. Condolences to all.

I was fortunate enough to get to work at CRSC with Tom while in college. He was a pleasure to be around and always made work more enjoyable! My sincere condolences.
