Thomas J. Taschwer

Taschwer, Thomas J.
Age 69, died on Nov. 28, 2007 of cancer in the arms of his loving wife, Kay, who has been by his side for 48 years and never left his side for the past 10 months. Tom?s life was filled with special memories of golfing with Kay, many friends, and family. His love of the outdoors was filled with memorable days of hunting and fishing. He especially loved his time at the hunting shack with his sons, grandsons, and best friends. Tom coached little league baseball for many years and shared his coaching skills at the college level with MSOE over the past several years. He was always fair and well respected by his players and their parents. Tom and Kay loved spending time with their family and made special efforts to be part of their grandchildren?s sporting events. Tom had a gift for connecting with people that was evident in his very successful career of 49 years as a sales representative for Packaging Corporation of America. Many of his customers became his life long friends.

He was a long time member of Tuckaway Country Club, Ducks Unlimited, Wisconsin Evans Scholars Selection Committee, and a former Greendale Jaycee. He served in the US Army for 2 years.

Tom was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Lucille Taschwer and his father-in-law, Glenn Schatzka.
