Mr. Joslyn was my 6th grade teacher at Pleasant Hill in 1980 and I have great memories of that class, especially all the basketball we played in gym and at recess. I am very sorry for your loss.

Dear Lee & family, I am so sorry for the loss of Tom. He added humor, sunshine & kindness to my first 4 years in Waukesha and over the years when I subbed at Pleasant Hill or did speech/language evals there. May God give comfort to all of you and keep you safe in the palm of his hand. Blessings & love, Colleen & family
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I will always hold Tom in high regard and appreciation for his help in getting my start in the School District of Waukesha. He welcomed me into his classroom as a part time teacher to support a large sized class and supported me as I found my legs again in teaching. My sympathies to his family. Randy Kunkel

Dear Leona and family, I have fond memories of Tom from high school. He was handsome, athletic and bright. When he married Leona, who I had known since grade school, I knew Tom had achieved every success possible. My heart goes out to all of you at your loss of such an outstanding person. Tom is gone too soon. God bless your family.
