Bloomer Bert F. Tozer, age 84, passed away on Monday, July 14, 2025, at Mayo Clinic Health Systems Hospital in Bloomer, WI with his family by his side.
Bert was born on March 16, 1941, at his home in Cooks Valley, Wisconsin to Elwood “Bud” and Marie (Rihn) Tozer. He was a four year football letterman, graduating from Bloomer High School in 1959. He was offered a football scholarship to attend the University of Minnesota, but instead, proudly enlisted and served in the US Air Force.
