Further survived by other Family & Friends. Born in Milwaukee in 1939, Tom graduated from Wauwatosa High School and Milwaukee Vocational School. He pursued various successful sales careers, and owned two custom automotive shops. Tom was active and well-known throughout Southeast Wisconsin in the early years of 4x4 off-roading & racing. He could often be found talking business and glad-handing at Slinger Speedway and Great Lakes Dragaway, and counted the late Broadway Bob Metzler among his friends. He also had many other friends & colleagues in the racing and automotive industries. Tom was a voracious reader of all subjects, both esoteric and mundane, and his other interests included firearms, philately, numismatics, and photography. A private service will be held at a later date.
