    So sorry to hear about Tom's death. My 1st day at Monona Grove in 1986, I met a guy named Joe Blum and we went to a Brewers game that night with Chris Hanson and Tom. Boy was my life about to change. Of course we stopped at a wayside not to pee, but to access a pay phone because we were interested in other games. We shared a lot of laughs watching sporting events or playing golf on weekends at Yahara. He was such a tough competitor and any bet that was presented he always said "you're on". I last saw him going to a Badger football game and I don't think he remembered me, but that's ok because I'll never forget him. RIP Weezbo and love and hugs Ginny.

    I will miss my sweet uncle Tom dearly. I didn't get to see him much until I was an adult since we didn't live nearby, but I remember my cousins Mary and Ann telling me that he was such a fun uncle to play with when they were young. He was always so helpful with my dog when my dad took us both to the dog park. He'd always offer to take the leash to walk her into the park and he'd say with a smile, "Wow, she can really pull!" The last time we had a West/Midwest family gathering, I almost cried from laughter when he joked with Mary and claimed that he caught more small fish than she did, even though he remembered that she caught about 15! Love Always, Gia (Weier) Kiley

    Will always remember the great golf matches with Tom at Yahara Hills. A few bucks changed hands and always with good humor. A great guy in every way. Rest In Peace old friend. Dick Hindman

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.

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

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.
