Thomas N. Pfefferle, Freedom, age 78, died at his home on December 1, 2022. Tom was born on October 3, 1944, to the late Norbert and Helen (Temmer) Pfefferle. He married Teri Bombinski on February 28, 1966. Tom was a welder pipefitter by trade, spending his career owning and operating Pfefferle welding, and also working out of the Local 400. Tom very much enjoyed welding and became pretty creative fabricating some of his own things. In the later years of his career, Tom earned his CDL and drove truck before fully retiring. Tom found his passion through sprint car racing which he shared with his son for ten years, traveling throughout Wisconsin, and the Midwest. He loved listening to music, especially jazz.  Above all, Tom cherished time spent with his children and grandchildren, and was happy just being home.

Tom is survived by his wife of 56 years, Teri; his children: Thomas Jr. (Kristine) Pfefferle, Tracy Pfefferle (Jon Puls), and Trisha Pfefferle (Craig Herzfeldt); and his grandchildren: Teagan (Taylor) Warmbier, Tyce (Megan) Wheeler, and Aspyn Pfefferle. Tom is further survived by three great grandchildren: Haevyn, Brixsyn, and Brekken; and his brother, Robert.

In addition to his parents and Teri's parents, Tom is preceded in death by his sister, Dolores Pfefferle; his siblings-in-law, Michael Bombinski and Sue Dehn; as well as his dog Willie.

At this time, the family will be having a private family funeral service.
