Dishaw, Daryl T. "Tom" After struggling with heart disease for 24 years, Tom finally found peace on March 20, 2015 at the age of 64 years. He will be sorely missed by his faithful caregiver, best friend, and wife of almost 30 years, Patricia Johnson. Tom's daughters, Carrie (Kevin) Moore and Kimberly (Adam) Walters, along with grandsons Ian Moore and Dylan and Noah Thomas Walters also mourn the loss of "Pa Whiskers" and the endless love and devotion he showered on them. Also surviving Tom are his brother Richard (Susan) Dishaw and Cheryl Dishaw, wife of Tom's late brother, Dennis. Tom's parents, Arthur and Doris Dishaw also preceded Tom in death. Tom also became a cherished and important part of his wife Patty's family. He was the dear son-in-law of Joyce and the late Stewart S. Johnson. He was brother-in-law to Stewart R. (Ellen) Johnson, Jacqueline (James) Rudig, Neil (Julie) Johnson, Laura Johnson and Barbara Martinez whom he dearly loved. They will greatly miss Tom and the "golden heart" for which he was known. Visitation on TUESDAY (Today), March 24, 2015 at UNITY LUTHERAN CHURCH 1025 E. Oklahoma Ave, from 2:00-5:00 PM. Funeral Services at 5:00 PM. Interment Wednesday at Woodlawn Cemetery at 11:00 AM. Please meet directly inside the cemetery entrance at 10:45 AM. One of the best times of his life, Tom said, was his 3-year stint in the US Army, where he attained the rank of sergeant. There he was introduced to the pole-climbing skills which, upon Army discharge, led him to a lineman job at Wisconsin Bell. He loved his job and all the guys with whom he worked for 32 years. In addition to his family, his military service, his friends, and his career with "Ma Bell," Tom loved his church where he considered it a privilege to dedicate his time and talents wherever needed. Tom was a loving and much-loved man and he will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him. The family thanks Dr. Tanvir Bajwa for his tireless efforts to extend Tom's earthly life, and to Pastor Kevan Penvose of Unity Lutheran for tending to the Eternal. Further survived by numerous nieces, nephews other relatives and friends. Prasser-Kleczka Funeral Homes Bay View Chapel 414-483-2322
