Found peace on Saturday, July 6, 2019. Age 73. Cherished husband of Brenda (nee Kaczor), for 45 years. Dear brother of Daryle (Katie) Cook, Darwin (Tammy) Cook, Darlene (Perry) Baumann, and Debbie (Ken) Reed. Also loved by nieces, nephew, other relatives, and many dear friends.
A man of many strengths and talents, he had an uncanny ability with his crazy t-shirts and quick wit to always find a way to elicit a smile. He shot straight from the hip and you always knew where you stood with him. His passion for wildlife, especially waterfowl, was a lifelong commitment and he used his gregarious nature and talents to help raise funds for many charitable organizations. A good man, a good friend…forever in our hearts.
Gathering at Krause Funeral Home, 12401 West National Avenue, New Berlin, Wisconsin, on Saturday, July 27, 2019, from 1:00 PM- 4:15 PM. Service at 4:30 PM.
