Ford, Thomas M.
Passed away on October 11, 2023 at the age of 53. Beloved husband of Susie for 30 years. Cherished son of Carrie and the late Thomas Ford. Brother of Ruth (Rick) Busalacchi and Paul Ford. Uncle of Zach Busalacchi, Joey Ford and Charlie Ford. Further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and many dear friends in both Menomonee Falls and Door County.
Tom was an avid musician and drummer. He was highly skilled and made many lasting relationships while working on projects with other musicians over the years. He loved to cheer on the Brewers and Packers. He played volleyball and golf and loved to travel. Tom was very handy and had an outstanding work ethic. He always wanted to help get the job done. He began working at Pool Park in high school, where he met his future wife Susie. Alongside his wife Susie and brother-in-law Mark Burkholz, they carried on the family legacy, creating their own business at Pool Park with their business partner Jeff Schuelke. He will be greatly missed.
Memorials in Tom’s name to the Alzheimer’s Association or to HAWS would be greatly appreciated.
Tommy's Memorial Gathering will be held on December 9th, from 3-7pm, at the Sterling Chalet, 1271 Highway 175 • Hubertus, WI 53033. A prayer service will be at 3:30, with eulogies to follow. A light food buffet will be provided. I'm hoping to get to see all your beautiful faces and share some of the good stuff that was Tommy. He'll be there with us, with that big smile and laughter.
Once again, my deepest gratitude for all the support over the last 2 weeks from so many, still so hard to believe.
