Thomas W. Bowe

Thomas W. Bowe, affectionately known as "Tommy" was born on April 4th 1935 in Cudahy, Wisconsin. He peacefully transitioned on August 11th 2025 while at Ascension Hospital in Brookfield leaving behind a legacy of kindness, entrepreneurship and mischievous smiles. Tom briefly played professional football before serving in Japan as a radio repair specialist in the U.S. Air Force, and then embraced his entrepreneurial spirit, with some of his most memorable roles being the owner of "Bowe's Touchdown Lounge" and "Bojangles Cafe."  Through the years, Tom touched many lives, building relationships lasting long after he moved on to his next adventure.

Tom was a huge Green Bay Packer and Milwaukee Brewers fan. He had a lifelong passion for sports, particularly golf, and enjoyed playing cards with his brothers and friends.  He is survived by his loving children: Vicki (Brian) Fisher, Tom (Andrea) Bowe Jr., Lynelle Ricard, and Scott (Julie) Hauge, together with 17 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his "Sweetheart" Sylvia, with whom he shared 15 wonderful years as a guiding light and Dominoes partner. Tom's spirit will forever resonate in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

Private services will be held for Tom. Memorial donations can be sent to Redeemer Evangelical Free Church or Bright Focus Foundation, Macular Degeneration Research in Tom's name.
