    I will always be grateful to Tom for giving me his classroom when I moved to Tremper in1998. His kindness made it possible for me not to travel. Nice, talented guy.

    So many theatre friends posted on FB wonderful remembrances of Tom. I was lucky to share the stage with him at Sixth Street in Racine and remember him as kind, funny and easy going. RIP Tom. My sincere condolences to his family.

    I remember him hosting a drama club picnic at his house sometime around 1988. He brought out an acoustic guitar to play. I jokingly asked if he had any Bob Dylan sheet music. HE DID. RIP JIll B

    I had Mr Amacher for English my sophomore year at Tremper. His class was always fun. My condolences go out to his family right now.

    I had Mr. Amacher as a teacher at Tremper. I'll never forget his class. He always had so much to talk about with us! RiP

    I always appreciated "Tommy's" attendance at the "Two Left Feet" band performances near the Janesville/Beloit area. He was always (that I remember) upbeat, cheery, with a little boyish grim to him. I have come to find out that he was in theatre at UW-Whitewater with my 2 band mates who also spoke highly of Tommy and the times back then. I will truly miss him.

    I'm so sorry for your loss Jackie, I really enjoyed talking to Tom at our class reunion!! He was so much fun to talk to. My heart breaks for you.

    Tom called me "Auntie M" like Dorothy's "Auntie Em" in the Wizard of Oz. It was my privilege and blessing to be his aunt.

    Jackie, so sorry for your loss. Tom was one of the funniest, mischievous people I knew at Whitewater. What a loss to the world!

what our families say

Tiffany Foster went out of her way to fulfill all my requests, talked me through problems I was facing, and tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible when I was a wreck, totally crushed, and I thank her with all of my heart for that.

The professional manner of the staff made a difficult time a little easier.

Lynda R. | July 2020

Services provided for both parents were perfect, on time, and no issues. Brenda is awesome and strong!

Michael M. | July 2020

Skyler was absolutely amazing. She was so caring and helpful through this whole process. She even went above and beyond to meet with us in DeForest and even to make a stop at our home to drop off or pick up anything needed. While it was a small gesture, it was so helpful and greatly appreciated.
