Thomas Krause Obituary
Wausau - Thomas Bruce Krause, age 68, passed away in Wausau unexpectedly on March 14, 2018. Known as Tom to family and friends, he was born in Wausau on May 22, 1949 to Albert and Lillie May (Lashua) Krause. He is survived by his daughter, Angela Holmes and her husband John; son, Scott Krause (Lt Col, USAF, Retired); daughter, Jennifer Guzman and her husband Daniel; 13 grandchildren; nephew, Marc Foley; cousin, Ellen Godfrey; and aunt, Lillian Krause.
He is preceded in death by his parents and sister, Cheryl Kort.
Upon graduation from Wausau High School in 1967, Tom joined the U.S. Army and served more than twenty years before retiring at the rank of Command Sergeant Major. His time in the military allowed him to live in a number of places, both foreign and stateside, including Germany, Korea, and Italy.
According to his wishes, Tom will be laid to rest with military honors at Fort Bliss National Cemetery in El Paso, Texas.

We are sorry to hear of your loss of Tom. We have the assurance of knowing we will see him in Heaven someday.
I always enjoyed talking to him at church and my husband and Tom would tease each other and we had lots of good times and laughs. We will miss him.

Sorry to here about Tom passing away. He was a good friend and we spent many hours talking about past times. We met when he started flying radio control airplanes and continued our friendship. He will be missed be all the Wausau RC Sportsmen club members.

I am so sorry for your loss. May the memories you've made help you through this very difficult time. Growing up Tom was one of our very large "family". Back then all the house doors were left unlocked, doors open and set another plate at the table. All the kids in the neighborhood were brothers and sisters. May you find peace he is once again with your Mom.
