Thomas Tochterman

July 9, 1935 - December 15, 2011

Tom Tochterman, age 76, passed away December 15, 2011, after a lengthy illness. He was born July 9, 1935 in Green Bay, and resided for many years on Windross Lane, “on the bay” in Pensaukee, Wisconsin. Tom attended St. Patrick’s Grade School and later graduated from Central Catholic High School, where he played football. He was a proud member of the Marines during the Korean War. Tom excelled as a goalie in hockey for the Green Bay Hornets, and was selected as the most outstanding player in two state hockey tournaments. He followed these awards with the distinction as the first goalie for the Green Bay Bobcats, where he earned the nickname, “Zero.” Tom had many friends locally and around the state of Wisconsin, where he serviced restaurants, as owner of Canns Fisheries. He is survived by his brothers, George, Bob (Yvonne), John (Dee), Matt (Barb), Jim (Judy). He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Johanna Tochterman; brother Bill; sister Dorothy; sister in-law Arlene Tochterman; and godson Mike Tochterman. He will be especially missed by his brothers and their families. His smile, laugh, hard work and loyalty to his family and friends are a testimonial to a good life. In honor of Tom’s wishes there will be no funeral services. A private service was held for the immediate family.
