Obituary:
Thomas G. Starke 75 formally of Kaukauna passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family at Matthews Senior Living in Menasha on September 5, 2016. He was born on December 19, 1940 to the late Gilbert and Lillian (Chopin) Starke. Thomas graduated from Kaukauna High in 1959. He went on to attend Outagamie County Teachers College and graduated in 1962. He taught school for a couple of years until he became ill with Epilepsy. His sickness didn't allow him to finish his schooling at Wisconsin State College of Oshkosh. Tom developed a paper machine as of part of a school science project for student teaching. All you needed was Tom's machine, egg beaters and facial tissues and you have paper. He loved watching the Packers, Brewers, tailgating with Pepsi and Hershey bars, fishing, camping, playing basketball and most of all being with family and friends. Because of his lifetime health adversities he never complained. He just loved life.
He is survived by his sister Nancy (John) Lehman, niece Lynn (Kevin) Schmitting, nephew Andrew (Susan) Lehman, great nieces, Greta (Jacob) Taxis, Natalie Schmitting, Ryan Schmitting, cousins James Isaacson, Donald (Marie) Isaacson and Barbara (Larry) Driskill.
