Whitmore Lake, MI
Thomas Albert Maschke, 75, passed away at home on April 3, 2023. He was born on September 5, 1947, in Gregory, Michigan to Albert Maschke and Lucille (Wilson) Maschke. Tom will be remembered as an incredibly kind man with a tough exterior. His heart was as tender as they come, his pride and love for his country and family was uniquely fierce. He spent his years as an outdoorsman both exploring and appreciating nature.
Tom will be terribly missed by his love and partner of 25 years, Deborah Olejniczak; his children, Tammie Tobel (Scott); Bonnie Dockham (Geoff); daughter-in-law Shelise Maschke; sister Priscilla Willis; Grandchildren Lacey, Lexey, and Logan Tobel; Sophie, Ayla and Patrick Dockham; and Christopher and Tyler Maschke. He is preceded in death by his son, Thomas G. Maschke and his parents Albert and Lucille Maschke. Their reunion in heaven is certain to be a joyous one.
Tom's family and friends will gather Friday, April 7, 2023, from 3:00PM-7:00PM, at Borek Jennings Funeral Home in Hamburg, MI. His farewell service will be held on Saturday, April 8, 2023, at 11:00AM (10:00 AM visitation), at Borek Jennings Funeral Home. A celebration of life will be held at the Livingston Conservation Club, Hamburg, MI immediately following burial at the Hamburg Cemetery. Please share your condolences for Tom's family at 1-877-231-7900, or sign his guestbook at www.borekjennings.com.

Tom and i hung out with our best friends Curt and Ron. we all worked putting up hay then biking or hitching a ride to swim at hell mich each work day. we camped many nights at central mountain near gregory. usually all of us hung out having fun in gregory, it was a great place for us to grow up. often Tom would come up with a new spoof or trick to pass the time. he was alot of fun and a great wingman. ray cole
