Thomas M. Hendry

Thomas Monaghan Hendry, known affectionately as Tom to his friends and family, passed away peacefully on March 25, 2024, in Franklin, Wisconsin. Born on October 16, 1959, in Edinburgh, Scotland, Tom's journey led him to a life rich in love and laughter.

Tom is survived by his beloved wife of 43 years, Terry Hendry (Nowicki), who was his steadfast partner in all of life's adventures. He was a loving father to his daughters, Christina (Sam) Kirkegaard and Kayla (Matt) Nieberle. Tom took immense joy in his role as Grandpa (Papa) to Maisie Mae Nieberle, whose presence brought him such happiness. He is preceded in death by his parents, Magnus (Gus) and Esther Hendry, his mother and father-in-law, Daniel and Shirley Nowicki and dear sister Donna Kruzick. He is also remembered by his siblings Janet (Craig) Truss, Debbie (Craig) Ermann and Mark Hendry. Tom was a cherished brother-in-law to Dan (Joyce) Nowicki and Jackie Cloud. He was also a proud uncle and great uncle to many.

Tom dedicated many years to his work at Lakeside Manufacturing, where he was not only a valued employee but also a friend to many. His commitment to his work was matched only by his commitment to his family and friends.

Tom found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He had a love for music that was only rivaled by his love for vacations, where he could relax and unwind. Tom was often found on pool days surrounded by friends and engaged in yard games, where his competitive spirit was always accompanied by a warm smile. His generous and kind spirit extended beyond his immediate circle, and he was known for his willingness to lend a hand whenever needed.

As we bid farewell to Tom, we celebrate a life lived to the fullest. His laughter, stories, and the warmth of his company will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Tom's impact on our lives is immeasurable, and his memory will be cherished forever.

A special thank you to the family members and friends who helped care for Tom over the past few months.
