Thomas L. Harke, age 68 of Shawano passed away Wednesday, February 2, 2022 at his home. 

Thomas was born on March 19, 1953 in Clintonville as the son of the late Erich and Hazel (Koeller) Harke. Although Thomas had some physical disabilities in his life he was able to pack a lot into his 68 years. As a young man he lived with his parents, then with his brother Don, and for the past 20 some years up in Shawano. Thomas took bus trips almost annually with Able Trek Tours and enjoyed outings with the Red River Riders. He worked for many years at Lakeland Industries in Shawano where he did a number of different tasks. Thomas was a huge sports fan and rarely missed a Brewers or Packers game. He enjoyed bowling in his younger years, watching game shows and fishing on tv, anything trains, collecting calendars, and going out for a good fish fry, steak, or Cinder’s burger. He had a strong faith in his Lord and is now reunited with many of his family members whom he missed very much.

His Brother: Donald Harke
