Tom Smith, age 81, lived a long and successful life in Wisconsin Dells. He died only a few miles from where he was born, but he traveled the world in the military to places all over the the United States, Korea and Vietnam. He was a construction worker, a machinist, a mechanic, a carpenter, a fisherman, a hunter, a soldier, a farmer, and a father. He is survived by his former wife Bev, and their two children JT and Rachel, plus many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

A celebration of life ceremony for Tom, will be held at his house on Saturday, September 20, 2025 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. His wishes were to be cremated with no religious ceremony, so there will not be a traditional funeral.
