Col. Eric Mayheu (Retired, US Air Force) passed away peacefully in his sleep, Oct. 15, 2020 of natural causes.  Eric was born on October 19, 1967 at Fort Carson, Colorado Springs, CO.

Eric is survived by his father, Stephen; brother Paul; former wife Heather and sons Conner and Collin.  He was preceded in death by his mother, Mary Mayheu.

He graduated from Algoma High School in 1986, was accepted to the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO., graduating in 1990 and spent 26 years on active duty.

   As a C-130 Weapons Officer, Squadron Commander, and Colonel, he positively influenced countless Airmen.  "He was humble, approachable and credible, molding an entire generation of tactical airlift warriors, especially those associated with the world of the C-130."  Eric had numerous deployments to multiple theaters ranging from Saudi Arabia to Germany to Japan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Rwanda and points in between, including contingency relief operations in both Bangladesh and Myanmar.  During his last deployment to Afghanistan he served as Chief of Plans, Kandahar AF base.  Eric retired from the Air Force in January 2016 from Scott AFB with a total of over 4000 hours of piloting various aircraft, with his favorite being the C-130, the Mighty Hercules.

Eric enjoyed cooking, especially sharing his talents with the grill with his sons, downhill skiing, the outdoors, reading, movies ("Bond, James Bond") identifying challenges, overcoming them, and most of all, celebrating with friends.

In the last few months of his life, Eric rediscovered how to love and began living life with added purpose and his laughter had returned once again.  This was due, in many ways, to his very special friend, Erika.

A celebration of life, story sharing and visitation  will be held Friday, Nov. 6, beginning at 5:00 PM at the Algoma Wellness Center located in the Algoma High School. The celebration will continue Saturday, Nov. 7 at St. Mary Catholic Church, 118 Church Street, Algoma, from 9 AM until the Mass of Christian Burial at 10:30 AM.  Burial to follow at St. Mary Cemetery with full military rites.

Grandma was strong, thoughtful, and kind. She never complained and always put others first.

Everyone who knew her became a friend. She loved our grandfather in a way we all would want to be loved. As her grandchild, you felt like there was no one in this world that was more proud of you than she was, boasting of our achievements no matter how big or small. 

She received loving care from Steve and Angie, allowing her to remain in her home spending every last moment right where she wanted to be, next to her "Honey". The family also expresses appreciation to the staff from Unity Hospice, especially Kristen and Dar, who provided peace and comfort to both our grandma and our family in her final months.

Thomas R. Muehl, 78, of North Prairie, Wisconsin passed away September 26, 2020.  Thomas injured himself at home when he fell sideways off a set of stairs and landed on an antique coffee grinder.  This led to a hard-fought three-month battle in the hospital which he lost.

Thomas was born on September 4, 1942 in Waukesha, Wisconsin.  He will be remembered as a philanthropist, a successful businessman and a lover of the Bible, planes, trains and automobiles.  Tom was educated in the Waukesha Public School system and received a BS in Accounting at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee.  He was a Teaching Assistant there while he pursued a Masters in Accounting.  Tom served in the U.S. Army Reserve with a rank of Sergeant E5.

Tom was President of Dierks Waukesha from 1994 to 2015 at which time the family business was sold to U.S. Foods.  At the age of ten Tom started working at Muehl’s Food Market for his parents.  His mother was instrumental in his development as an outstanding foodservice salesman and businessman.  With his in-depth knowledge, perspective and perseverance, Tom went the extra mile for his customers in Door County, Madison and Milwaukee. 

Like his mother, Tom had a lot of character and interests.  Tom was a private pilot who owned several airplanes, had an extensive collection of high performance Ford Mustangs (which he enjoyed running at Road America), had expert knowledge of steam-driven locomotives, loved to take vintage railroad trips and was an aficionado of collecting Early American furniture.  Tom and his wife loved spending time with each other.  They had planned on participating in a vintage road rally this summer with Tom driving and his wife navigating.  Tom enjoyed the natural beauty of his country home and like his father, one of Tom’s favorite pastimes was mowing his own lawn. 

Tom is preceded in death by his father, Robert Muehl, and mother, Kathryn (Volland) Muehl and is survived by his loyal customers, his heartbroken wife “My Lyn” Muehl, brother Eric (Susan) Muehl, brother Wesley (Donna) Muehl, special cousin and confidante David (Joan) Bauer as well as numerous other relatives and close friends.  He is also survived by his former spouses Louise and Janice.

Tom loved people and enjoyed helping them.  From your family, friends and loyal customers, Tom, we say to you:

“Auf Weidersein……’til we see you again”

On October 10, 2020 Tom was laid to rest at Prairie Home Cemetery, Waukesha, Wisconsin.  Memorials can be made to one’s favorite charity or to one of Tom’s favorite charities: the Mayo Clinic, 200 First Street SW, Rochester, Minnesota 55905, to be used for cardiac research; the Wisconsin Badger Camp Inc., P.O.
