Thomas C.

Reynolds

Thomas C. Reynolds, 79, died peacefully at Rainbow Hospice in Johnson Creek, WI on Wednesday, April 29, 2020.

He was born October 25, 1940 in Winnebago, IL, the son of Richard Scott (step-father) and Eleanor Scott.

He spent his childhood living at Tyranena Park in Lake Mills, WI where his family ran a campground and boat livery.

He attended Lake Mills schools and was an avid wrestler.

Tom married Dian Sears on June 30, 1962 after they met on the beach at Rock Lake in Lake Mills, WI.  They spent 57 wonderful years together. They resided in Rockford, IL and enjoyed their summer home in Lake Mills, WI.

He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Lake Mills, WI and a former active member of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Rockford, IL.  He was also a member of the German Club in Rockford.

Tom's employment took him from several years in engineering at General Web Dynamics in Rockford, IL to several more years as vice president and engineer at Hennig, Inc. in Machesney Park, IL.

Tom enjoyed many outdoor sports; fishing, snowmobiling, waterskiing, sailing, ice skating and being a horse owner.  And in the summer, with his wife Dian or family members and friends, the nightly "putt putt" around the lake in their pontoon boat.

All that had the pleasure of knowing Tom knew what a kind and gentle person he was.  He was a big cheerleader for his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren in all their sports and extracurricular activities.

Tom is preceded in death by his wife Dian (March 16, 2020), his mother Eleanor Scott, his stepfather Richard Scott, his brother Mike Reynolds and his half-brother Gregory Scott.
