Following the burial, a celebration of Tom’s life will be held at Sunset Lanes and Hall, Dickeyville, Wisconsin, beginning at 1:00 p.m.

Tom was born on May 6, 1962, in Dubuque, Iowa, the son of Norbert and Margaret (Freese) Welter.

Tom was self-employed with Welter Drywall for more than 30 years, doing what he knew best, hanging drywall and working hard. He took pride in his work and built a reputation as someone people could always count on. After retiring from the drywall business, Tom worked as a delivery driver for Sloan Implement in Bloomington.

When he wasn’t working, Tom enjoyed spending time doing the things he loved. He especially enjoyed coaching his son, Brad, in youth baseball and being involved in the game. Those years and the memories they made together meant a great deal to him. Tom was also an avid bowler who spent many years league bowling and competing in tournaments, making plenty of friends along the way.

Tom was a loyal sports fan and could often be found cheering on the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Cubs. He enjoyed following his teams and talking sports with friends and family.

Tom will be remembered as a hardworking, down-to-earth man who enjoyed the simple things in life: family, friends, sports, and good times spent with the people he cared about.

Tom is survived by his siblings, Betty Neuhaus, Jerry (Donna) Welter, and Barb (Tim) Schmidt, all of Dubuque, IA, Ken (Sherry) Welter, Dickeyville, WI, and Janet (Jim) Zart, Fennimore, WI; his partner, Marilyn Blindert, Potosi, WI; his stepchildren, Tony Capps and Jessica Capps; seven step-grandchildren; two step-great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Norbert and Margaret; his son, Brad Welter; his stepson, Michael Capps; his brother, Michael Welter in infancy; and his brother-in-law, Dave Neuhaus.

Memorials in Tom’s name may be mailed to Casey-McNett Funeral Home, 123 N. Jackson St., Cuba City, WI 53807.

The family wishes to thank the staff and doctors of St. Croix Hospice, along with Tom’s caregiver and partner, Marilyn, for their compassionate care of Tom.
