Thomas Pitcher

Thomas B. Pitcher, 86, of Kronenwetter, Wisconsin, entered into eternal life on December 20, 2023, surrounded by his loving family. He was born on April 27, 1937, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to the late Arlo and Ann Pitcher. 

Tom was a man of many passions. He enjoyed spending his free time fishing and spending time outdoors. One of his favorite getaways was to Northern Wisconsin, where he created lasting memories with his loved ones. Tom was an avid sportsman and spent many hours coaching his children’s sports as well as attending his children’s and grandchildren’s events. Family always came first for Tom, and he cherished every moment spent together.  

Professionally, Tom had a successful career as a Financial Executive in the paper manufacturing industry. His exceptional skills and dedication made a significant impact on the companies he served. He was very philanthropic and spent many hours volunteering throughout the community.  

Tom is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Judy, his children, Sue (David) Lasater, Brent (Michele) Pitcher, Lisa (Tommy) Daniel, and Danielle (Jake) Sommerfeldt. His legacy also lives on through his grandchildren, Will, Zach, Anna, Hailey, Lexi, Dylan, Derek, and Owen, who were his pride and joy.

Tom was preceded in death by his siblings, Ed, Marilyn, and Barb. He leaves behind his loving brother, Ken (Pat) Pitcher.

A memorial gathering will be held on Saturday, January 13, with visitation from 11 am until 1 pm, at Brainard Funeral Home, 5712 Memorial Court, Weston.  A celebration of Tom's life will follow at 1 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Pitcher Family Charitable Fund at the Community Foundation of North Central Wisconsin (501c3) for a scholarship to a local high school student in Tom’s name - https://cfoncw.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/fund?funit_id=5026.

His family would like to extend a sincere thank you to the staff at Interim Hospice as well as Dr. Chris Peterson of Aspirus Cancer Center, for their care and support during these difficult times. 

Tom will forever be remembered as a dedicated family man, an accomplished professional, and a generous and kind-hearted soul. May his spirit find eternal peace, and may his memory bring comfort to all those who knew and loved him.
