Tom was a dedicated husband, brother (best friend) and step-dad who loved, protected, and enjoyed spending time with everyone he knew. He always had a kind and encouraging word for family and strangers he met. He was an entrepreneur for 25 years as a mechanic and welder. He loved the outdoors, fishing, hunting and enjoyed taking care of his lawn and trees. Tom enjoyed every day to the fullest with his family and friends. He looked at each day as a new adventure. He will be remembered for his quick wit and fun-loving sense of humor. The world will be less bright without him.
He was preceded in death by father, George; mother, Lorraine; stepson, John Kalkes; mother-in-law, Lucille; father-in-law, Elmer.
Loved and missed by wife, Kathleen; sisters, Marlene, Sharon (John), Maxine, Cynthia; stepchildren, Patty and husband John, Anni and husband Tim, and Mark; step-grandchildren, James, Michael, Andrew, Steve, Lacey, Stephanie; step-great-grandchildren, Kylie and Kooper.
