Publish in a newspaper
Tom was born February 27, 1946, in Janesville, WI, the son of Clive Francisco and Mabel Mull. Following high school graduation, he enlisted in the United States Army, serving as a medical specialist from 1966 until 1969. Tom earned several awards and medals including a Purple Heart, National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, Combat Medical Badge, Army Commendation Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Sharpshooter Badge with rifle bar, and a Marksman Badge with rifle bar.
Tom enjoyed spending time with his daughter at heart, Tambi Rosendahl and her five daughters, Justis Lee Burgin, Alexus J. Verel, Adora Mabel Rosendahl, Blessing D. Rosendahl and Mila Mauseth.
The family would love to hold a memorial service, but Tom specifically requested no services take place.

He was like a father for the last 26 years to me, celebrated every holiday and birthday together and spent every Sunday together watching old movies, eating at Olive Garden or Texas Roadhouse his two favorite places. Loved the 4th of July and setting off fireworks. He was the kindest man alive, loved the gun range and Elvis. I will miss him dearly.

I love my grandpa more than the whole world he was kind loving and giving and never missed a special event. Loved our pillow fights, singing and laughing together. Love you grandpa and miss you so much.
