Thomas Robert Rosenthal, 53, was taken from us suddenly and unexpectedly on February 4, 2020. Tom was born to Darrell and Lorraine Rosenthal on November 20, 1966 in Austin, MN. He attended Catholic grade school and was a graduate of Pacelli High School’s class of 1985 and attended Riverland Community College. Following his graduation, Tom brought his aptitude for technology and his attention to detail to his family business, Rosenthal’s Flooring & Decorating. Tom was a skilled tile setter, carpet layer and interior designer. There wasn’t anything with a circuit board or an engine he couldn’t fix. Tom had a passion for photography and liked to play both guitar and piano by ear. Tom’s greatest joy and proudest accomplishment is his daughter Emily. He worked hard to be a good father and was overjoyed to become a grandfather this past fall.
