Thomas Zellmer Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
He was a devoted father to Joe (Michelle) and Beth (Kris King), and proud Papa to Olivia. Beloved brother to Jim (Carol), Terry (the late Jerry Kraft), Dennis, Ron (Susie), Sharon (Jim Wisniewski) and a host of other relatives he deeply cared for.
He was an honored and proud veteran who loved golfing, barbecuing with his family, walking in the mall, and took great pride in having the best looking yard in the neighborhood.
He will missed beyond measure and we are blessed to have known such an incredible man.
