He married Bonnie Douyette in Boulder Junction, WI, on January 21, 1961, and they have lived in Appleton all their married life. Tom worked as a machinist, estimator and production control for Appleton Machine, Hewitt Machine/KRC/Voith for 40 years, retiring in 2000. He enjoyed trap shooting around the state and in Florida, deer hunting and musky fishing in Vilas County, and watching his grandchildren at their sporting events.
Tom is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Bonnie, two daughters, Debbie (Bill) Josephs; Renee Yahr; his grandchildren, Bryan and Bradley Josephs, Corey and Kayla Yahr, all of Appleton.

Life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is
only a horizon, and a horizon is nothing save
the limit of our sight.
