Obituary

Thomas "Willie" Willman of Random Lake Wisconsin passed away May 13, 2025, at the Aurora Medical Center, Grafton Wisconsin, spending his final moment with his wife and daughters.

Tom was born January 10, 1943 in Marshfield, Wisconsin. He was the 7th child of Anton Willman and Eva (Payne) Willman. After attending local schools in Marshfield, he did as many of his time did, he left school going the route of work and vocational training, adding to his parents household income.

Tom was joined in marriage to Arlene Kille September 21, 1963, at St Michael's Church Hewitt, Wisconsin. They resided in Marshfield, earning for his own new family and having their 1st daughter Eva. After two years Tom and Arlene made the move to the Cedarburg/Grafton area where they were joined by their 2nd daughter Robbie. In 1977 they built their forever home in Random Lake. For 38 years Tom worked as a certified welder for Trak International and all of it's predecessors in Port Washington until they closed.

Known to many as Willie, Tom enjoyed a good homemade meal and the sharing of it with others because "We wouldn't want you to go home and tell them that we didn't feed you and you went home hungry". He enjoyed cooking, camping, having a good visit at the kitchen table over a beer with friends and family. Always a man who was thinking about ideas, projects and the world.

He is survived by his wife of over 62 years Arlene, His daughters Eva (Matthew) Harvey and Robbie (Hugh) Greathouse. His granddaughters Hannah Harvey, Jennifer (Ed) Krajewski, Nicole, Rachel and Carly Greathouse. Great grandchildren Estelle, Ezra, Peter, Sydney, and Oliver.

He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers and sisters Veva, Albert, Donald, Rosella, Flordena, Marion and infant brother Jerry.
