Thomas Gramza

Thomas “Tommy” Raymond Gramza, 59 years of age, current resident of Waterford, Wisconsin, and formerly of Tichigan, Wisconsin, passed away on Saturday, January 11, 2025 surrounded by his girls, due to a long and hard-fought battle with lung cancer.

Tommy was born on May 24, 1965, in Burlington, Wisconsin, to Thomas and Judith (Westerdahl) Gramza. He attended Waterford High School, class of 1983.

On July 3, 2004, he was united in marriage to Robin Gramza. Tommy worked for JF Shea as TBM Operator (Superintendent), retiring in 2020.

Tommy will be especially remembered for his love of hunting, fishing, lake days, and spending time with his girls, whether it's having a beer, throwing a softball or spending time with his grandbabies. He could frequently be seen wearing camo and enjoyed nothing more than spending time with his family, water skiing, road tripping, hanging out with his sons-in-law, swimming, wrestling, baseball, and all things sports. He will also be remembered for his ever-unique dance moves! Tommy was a man of simple pleasures-taking trips up north, cherry bombs, playing pool, darts, and cards, cheering on the packers and spending time with his wife, Robin. He will be greatly missed by many who loved him.

Survivors include Tommy’s loving wife, Robin Gramza; mother Judith (Richard) Westerdahl; children Jacqueline (Michael) Kelly, Erica (Alexander) Vojvodich, Kalena (Leland) Gramza; grandchildren James and Finn Kelly and Weston, Emberly, Mason, and Ivy Vojvodich; siblings Nancy Bazen and Colleen Schwarzhuber; nieces and nephews Dawn Raditz, Christopher Bazen, and Wyatt Schwarzhuber; as well as great nieces and nephews, cousins, other relatives, and many friends.

Preceded in death by his father, Thomas Gramza; mother-in-law Karen Fransioli; and stepfather Donald Westerdahl.

Visitation will be held 12PM-1:45PM Sunday, January 19, 2025 at the COTTON EXCHANGE PLANTATION HALL (345 Hickory Hollow Rd. Waterford, WI 53185), with a funeral service to follow at 2PM.
