Tom found peace from all his ailments on April 15, 2024. He was born on January 29,1944 to Frank and Lucille who preceded him in death. He was married to Elizabeth (nee Jones) for 42 years, who also preceded him, along with sister-in-law Geraldine (Dan) Mantyh, and Mary Angela (William) Jones. Tom is survived by his brother Jerry (Jill) of Las Vegas, his nephew Jerrod, and sister-in-law Barbara (Joe) Jones. Also survived by special friends Marcy Sanhuber and Eric Wallner and other friends and relatives.
Tom loved wolves and music, especially that of Frank Sinatra, Johnny Matthis, and the movie soundtrack of The Magnificent Seven. He also loved the Packers, Brewers, and playing cards. He belonged to a cribbage league, sheepshead, and pinochle groups.
Tom had a big heart rescuing animals in need and provided them with a loving home. He left behind his 3-legged dog, Archie, and a loving cat, Iris.

So sad to hear of Tom's passing---We were classmates at Bay View---homeroom---he was my biggest fan and followed my football career there---a gentle soul he was---and loyal---so many times I tried to find him---did not know he was ill---a deep feeling of loss is felt----bless him and we will see him again in a better place---Alan Collins
