Thomas M. Cichocki, of Pulaski WI, was born December 17, 1949, son of the late Arthur M. and Dorothy J. (Lamine) Cichocki.
At the age of 72, on October 20, 2022 in Howard, he has passed away surrounded by his loving family.
Tom married Colleen (Larson) Johnson, in 1994 and they shared 28 years of marriage. Not always easy to like or be with, he was loved dearly.
Tom was passionate about his job driving semi-truck. He loved being behind the wheel of a big rig. He had a different view of the road and loved going to different places.
When he wasn't driving, Tom liked to be outdoors; he would go (old school) camping, hunting rabbit, pheasant and deer, and he really loved to go fishing. Some of the tails about his different adventures in the wilds were hilarious. He liked to watch movies; no matter how good or bad they were, he watched them all the way through. Most recently, going to dinner and a movie with Colleen; or just taking a long nap; was the highlight of his day/week.
Tom was enlisted in the Navy for 4 years. He didn't talk about his service much, he liked to talk about the people he met and some of the places he went; and the pranks they pulled. It was during this time that he had his 2 children; David A. and Lonna M. Cichocki.
Tom is survived by; his wife Colleen Cichocki, a brother David (wife Carleen) Cichocki, a sister Jen (husband Bill) Weier, another brother and sister not local, his son David (with Stacey Danz) Cichocki, his daughter Lonna M. Cichocki, his step daughter Kelly (husband Austyn) Schroeder and his granddaughter Brittany P. Cichocki.
He is preceded in death by his parents, one sister and one brother.
A memorial for Tom will be set at a future date TBD by his wife, Colleen; when her health can handle it.
