FUNERAL AND REMEMBRANCE information...
Our friend and father Thomas J. Dunn passed from this
earthly life at 10:23 a.m. Friday, December 8, 2006. He needed special
care the last four of his ninety-one years.
Tom was a remarkable person
for many reasons... his good humor and selfless generosity, his fairness and courtesy to everyone he
met, his guidance and support of his five children, and his intense respect and
loyalty to the two beautiful women he was blessed to call his wife.
This website will attempt to give you information about his final resting place on a picturesque hilltop overlooking the rolling Lodi, Wisconsin, countryside. He will be buried next to his wife Honee. She was his first mate in life as well as on their Boca Raton seafaring ChrisCraft "Duckaway". Tom was lucky in love twice when a few years after Honee died Marjorie Carter swept him off to a happiness he never expected would again brighten his days.
Tom's five children have often referred to him as "the best dad in the world". His strength of character, firm discipline, unhesitating generosity and limitless good humor has set a standard toward which we can only strive to match. All those who knew Tom will miss him. Unsolicited tears and kind remarks from the dedicated caregivers at Imperial Health Care in Naples, FL, were offered for hours after the word of his death spread through the halls of his humble final earthly home. We hope you will remember Tom as he would like to be recalled... funny, cheerful, a good fisherman, a dedicated husband and supportive father... oh, yes... and as a good blackjack, euchre and bridge player!
We offer this website for your enjoyment of his life as seen in the pictures we post. Feel free to email us with your favorite "Tom Dunn story" or send an image or two that you would like to see posted here. (Email tjdunn@newnorth.net)
