Asleep in Jesus, at age 69 on Tuesday, August 23, 2022. Tom was the son of the late Ralph and Elizabeth Thomsen. He was married to his high school sweetheart, Diane Thomsen (nee Torrence), for 47 years. They attended Peace Lutheran Church throughout their marriage, and Tom shared his faith with their three children – Stephanie (George) Williams, Mark Thomsen and Carolyn (William) Schenck. Tom loved spending time with his children and grandchildren – Alex, Lucas, Adam and Charlie. He was dearly loved by his in-laws Steve Torrence, Barbara (David) Albert, Daniel Torrence, Matthew Torrence and Michele (Paul) Milonas; and his cousins Linda (John) Loewenstein, Joan (Robert) Matlock, Jeffrey (Sharon) Thomsen and William (Margie) Oswald. He was also a dear uncle and good friend. Tom was a retired CPA and served many throughout his career.
Whether taking long walks, hiking or playing golf with his family, Tom loved being in nature. He enjoyed traveling with Diane, listening to music, barbequing and had a smile and a kind word for everyone he met. He will be dearly missed.
Tom’s family wants to express their gratitude to Compassionate Nursing Services for the wonderful care they provided.

Tom was one of the best people I’ve known and he will be missed. As my CPA he took really good care of me.. he will be dearly missed.
I want you to know how grateful I am to Tom for helping me take care of Bob Kuban and his home while Bob was recovering. He directed me and helped me make decisions for Bob. I don’t know how I would have handled all of it without Tom. Tom was a tremendous support. Tom you will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
Tom was one of the best people I’ve known. He was my CPA and took really good care of me and assisted me beyond what was expected. I will truly miss him, he’s been important to me in my life as a dear friend.

So thankful we had sometime together at the reunion
Tom was my dear cousin and friend. My heart breaks for Diane and his three children. As expected, he handled this with so much courage and grace. He was so good to my mom and dad over the years and they loved him very much. He will be greatly missed but he was a wonderful example for us all.
I am so sorry, Diane, for your loss. Unfortunately, I will be out of town for the services on Sunday and Monday. Best wishes to you and your family
Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. 50 years since high school. I am glad you had 47 wonderful years together. May the peace of the lord be with you during this time of grief and celebration of life.
Jeff and Sharon Thomsen
I have always known him as “Tommy”. He is my cousin and good friend. Over the years we shared our love of fishing with one another. We even took our Dads with us on a fly in Canadian fishing trip for a week. We have so many fond memories pouring into our minds and hearts. Tom was the best person one could know. We will miss him and offer our sincere sympathies to Diane and Stephanie, Mark and Carolyn.
Dear Diane,
My heart goes to yours. You two are soul mates. I say are because you will be together for Eternity. He is smiling large with Jesus Himself! Right now! I can only imagine! Tom was always so kind to me in HS. Again, my heart is with yours in prayer.
Roger Pam Shockley and family
