Thomas F. Wolf

Thomas F. Wolf was born into eternal life on March 10, 2026, at the age of 95. He was joyfully reunited with his beloved wife, Dolores, whom he loved deeply and missed dearly.

Tom was a devoted and proud father to Bob (Julie), Geri Jewell (Len), Chris (Teresa), Tom (Heidi), and Karen Klemeneic (Bob). Nothing brought him greater joy than his role as Grandpa and Papa to his grandchildren: Christine (Ben), Jessica (Garrett), Justin (Hailey), Katelyn, Emily, Alex (Emily), Brian, Caroline (Tom), Matt (Jacky), and Josh. He was also a loving great-grandfather to Stella, Lucy, Nora, Ezra, Nash, Axel, Neli, Vivien, Diesel, and Ripley, delighting in each new addition to the family.

Tom cherished his close relationships with his in-laws, nieces, nephews, extended family, and the many friends he made and kept throughout his life. Time spent with those he loved was always time well spent.

A devout Catholic, Tom faithfully served his parish communities at St. Alphonsus in Greendale and St. Teresa of Calcutta in Hartland. Over the years, he generously gave his time as a lector, server, usher, Eucharistic minister, and sacristan-roles he fulfilled with humility, dedication, and deep faith.

Tom proudly served his country in the United States Army, attaining the rank of Sergeant First Class and serving in Korea. With his characteristic humor, he often joked that the only reason he enlisted was because the Army needed a basketball, football, and baseball player.

Professionally, Tom made a lasting impact during his 33-year career with the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District. Beginning as a temporary Engineer Aide I, his determination, intelligence, and strong work ethic propelled him through the ranks to Executive Director, Director of District Services, and ultimately Director of Technical Services, from which he retired in 1988. He was a Professional Engineer, a member of the Wisconsin Society of Professional Engineers, and a proud inductee of Tau Beta Pi, the engineering honor society. Most meaningful to Tom were the people he met and worked with throughout his career-relationships he valued deeply and maintained long after retirement. He especially treasured the camaraderie of the "Old Farts Club," a social group of retired Milwaukee engineers, where stories, laughter, and lifelong friendships continued to flourish.

Before his engineering career, Tom worked as a caddie, sparking a lifelong love of golf. He truly savored every round and could recall shots from courses played decades earlier. Tom also loved playing cards with family and friends and was always eager to join in, whether it

was Sheepshead, Hearts, Cribbage, Pinochle, Poker, or Bridge. He enjoyed fishing, was an avid reader, and could never resist a good mystery or suspense novel.

A passionate Marquette alumnus, Tom was deeply grateful to have graduated from Marquette University High School and Marquette University. He remained a devoted fan throughout his life and was always eagerly anticipating the next game.

Tom and Dolores shared a love of travel, exploring much of Europe, most of the United States, and parts of Canada together. After her passing, Tom continued to travel, often combining golfing vacations with visits to family.

Tom leaves behind a remarkable legacy of strong work ethic, discipline, perseverance, dedication, compassion, and kindness. He truly lived his life fully and generously.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the incredible staff of Aurora Hospice at Home for their compassionate care, with special thanks to Samantha for her kindness and dedication.

Family and friends are invited to gather for a Mass of Christian Burial at St. Teresa of Calcutta – Monches, W302 N9583 O'Neil Road, Hartland, WI, on Wednesday, March 25, at 11:00 a.m., with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to a local food shelf or pantry.

Private family interment will take place at a later date.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Church and Chapel Funeral Home, 380 Bluemound Road, Waukesha, WI 53188.
