FRANKSVILLE – Thomas A. Marinac, 69, passed away at Froedtert Hospital on Tuesday, January 8, 2019 after short but aggressive battle with cancer.
A lifelong resident of Racine, he was born on August 29, 1949, the son of the late Carl and Joy (nee: Lampman) Marinac. On July 29, 1983, he married Karen A. Jung.
Tom retired from Kranz, Inc after many years of service. He was an avid fisherman and music enthusiast. He played trumpet for many years with the Kilties. He also enjoyed cheering on Wisconsin sports; especially the Brewers, Bucks and Packers and taking his best canine buddy, Dobbie with him on morning errands. However, Tom was happiest in the company of his family; especially when babysitting his granddaughters with the other grandpa and great friend, Jim Kaufman.
In addition to his loving wife, Karen, Tom is survived by his sons, Matt Marinac of Franksville, Kyle (Sammi) Marinac of Wauwatosa; his granddaughters, Lilie and Piper; his sisters, Patricia (Sterling Strathe) Marinac, Nancy (Robert) Crossett, Laura (Charles) Thielen; his sister-in-law and brothers-in-law, Sandy (Mark) Geisler, Melvin Jung, Ted (Pam) Jung; as well as many dear nieces and nephews.
Family and friends are invited to meet in the Draeger-Langendorf Home and Crematory on Saturday, January 19, 2019 for a visitation from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. A service remembering and celebrating his life will follow at 11:00 a.m. with Rev. Dr. Warren D. Williams officiating.
The Marinacs extend a heartfelt thank you to the entire staff at Froedtert Hospital for the loving and professional care that Tom received.

We are very sorry we were not able to attend the funeral. We were in California when we heard of Tom’s passing. Tom and I go back along way. He was the best man at my wedding but I have not seen him in 45 years. I will always remember him as the best friend one could ever have. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time of loss. Your best friend Jon Hisgen
