We met Tom and Cathy in Havasu through mutual friends. They were a joy to be around.  After Cathy's passing, Tom would join us at bowling on Tuesdays to cheer us on and go to happy hour with us. Good times. Also, they had a family of five like me. One daughter and four sons (included was a set of twin boys). Isn't  that a fun fact. Tom sent Myron pictures of his old truck that Brian bought. What a thoughtful man. Tom and Cathy will be missed.

We are next door neighbors of Tom’s daughter Chris and her family. We  were fortunate to get to know Tom and Cathy over the years when  they came to Crystal Lake to visit. We enjoyed the time we spent with them and found we had many things in common.  Tom was just the nicest guy and  and we will miss seeing him on his travels to Illinois.  Our condolences to the family.

I Love You Tom !!

Tom was a very hard worker partner with me at 3M, sitting right  across the aisle from me and working hand in hand for several years.  He always was a stickler for doing things precisely by the book ands kept excellent records as he recorded precisely the updates to the liability records that he was responsible for. He didn't budge an inch on accuracy or stray from the protocol on how to update the important regulatory records our safety group  was responsible for .  He dedicated himself to accuracy in every detail he managed .  I got to know him as a kind worker and friend to all who interacted with him in his role at 3M.

I appreciated his sincerity and precise detail in everything that he touched. He was a true gentleman and very sincere in everything he did .  
 
Also,  in his quiet style, he faithfully kept the luncheon going for a large number of 3M'ers, after he was sort of handed the responsibility for it, and kept it going for number of years.  

From time to time over  the  years I would touch base with him and sure enough he was back from Arizona to keep his faithfulness to maintain the 
luncheon.  That's who he was , Mr faithful .  I think of him as a true  Christian man with Christian values.
And I do miss him .

My grandpa always knew just what to do to get me to smile. My first memory of him is from a wedding in Ohio we went to. They started playing polka music and he thought me how to dance the polka. I just know he is up there with my grandma smiling down at all of us.

Tom was my hiking buddy and friend.
Without his help in trail exploring,
Lake Havasu would not be the hiking destination it is today.
I will miss him.

We met Tom and Cathy many years ago at our parish St Mary's when they came for the fall festival. We went for breakfast after many seven thirty masses. They were dear friends and we enjoyed them so much. Our hearts are heavy on the loss of your father.He is now reunited with his dear Cathy. They are both missed by their friends at St Mary's parish
                                                              Tom and Kathy Plantenberg 

We have many great memories of Havasu get together with both Kathy and Tom as well as our summer Mahnomen reunions and playing washers tournaments.  I especially appreciated Tom taking over treasurer duties last winter when I got so sick and returned home.  I am so very sad for the family but Tom is once again with Kathy and we will all see him again one day.  May your faith comfort you in the months ahead.

Dear Family of Tom, I am so sad for each of you with the passing of Tom.  I always enjoyed his company at family events.  I remember coming to your home when you all were still in school 💜.   God's blessings for all your cherished memories.
