Thomas Decleene

Thomas Peter Decleene joined our Lord in Heaven on March 2nd, 2024. He was 69 years of age. Born in Green Bay, WI on July 10th, 1954. He traveled throughout Europe as a college student. His love of travel followed him as he worked in several states, including Alaska, Arizona and Florida as a traveling park ranger. His love followed him throughout the US and on international cruises with Robin. He was an avid Green Bay Packers fan who never missed a game and enjoyed the comments he got when wearing his Packer hats. He worked for NGA (the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency) in St. Louis Missouri as a cartographer for over 30 years, retiring on March 30th, 2018. He loved his history books and had thousands of them. He was an exceptionally soft, gentle soul who loved to talk to everyone he met. He was also a prankster at times and loved a good laugh. 

 

Tom will be missed by his beloved partner, Robin Tiesling, and her children, Bobbie Wilke of St. Charles, Missouri, Shaun (Sarah) Dudenhoeffer of Oklahoma and his grandchildren, Lyla and Nora Dudenhoeffer.
