Thomas Stumpf

Thomas J. Stumpf, age 60, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, September 22, 2022. He was born on November 9, 1961, the son of the late Harvey and Theresa (Emmers) Stumpf.  On April 22, 1983, he was united in marriage to Carol Sekorski at Holy Angels Catholic Church, Darboy.

Thomas was employed with the City of Menasha, in the Parks and Rec. Department for over 30 years, retiring in June of 2022. As a recipient of The Above and Beyond Award, Mayor Donald Merkes said of Thomas, “You are known to get the job done and take extra effort to make sure that things are done right and look good.”

In Tom’s younger years he had a nickname of Tom-A. Among his many interests, Tom enjoyed deer hunting with his brothers and nephews at the hunting land in Wild Rose, Waushara County. His popular “Big Buck Down” was a 14-pointer shot in November of 2005. Tom was a persevering, painstaking, tireless, energetic, and enthusiastic worker. He would work on landscaping or wood working projects for others rather than take a vacation and relax. His relaxation was working. Thomas would prost his family and friends with a story, a good laugh, and a cold beer!

The following survive him; Tom was a loving and caring husband to his wife of 39 years, Carol; devoted father to Clinton (Heather Sinks) Stumpf and Brittany (Corey) Seefeldt, his cat Sunshine “Sonny”; and all his furry grandchildren: Gunner, Olive, and Niko. He is further survived by his brothers: Dan (Dawn), Steve (Deborah), Tony, Frank (Deborah), Leo (Julia), and Andy Stumpf; sisters: Anne Zamora, Susan (Phil) Behling, Mary (Brian) Delforge, Marge (Kevin) Kramer, and Sara Schinke; sisters- and brothers-in-law: Kathleen (Joseph) Beach, Karen (Thomas) Halbach, Kristi (Paul) Kappell, and Kay (John) Hornes; many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Thomas was preceded in death by his parents; step-mother: Shirley Stumpf; brother: Timothy Stumpf; father- and mother-in-law: Daniel and Dorothy Sekorski; brothers-in-law: Timothy Schinke and Richard Halbach; and a niece Teresa Halbach.
