NORBERT J. EUCLIDE Norbert J. Euclide, age 87, of Chilton, died on Friday, July 6, 2012 at the Chilton Care Center in Chilton. He was born March 31, 1925 in Brussels, WI, son of the late Joseph & Lena (Mathy) Euclide. He graduated from Casco High School in 1942 and valiantly served in the United States Army during WWII with the 83rd Division, 327 Infantry. He began serving in Europe immediately after the Battle of the Bulge, and was awarded two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star. Following his discharge, he married Mary Jacobs on March 30, 1948 at St. John Catholic Church in St. John. He was employed at the Ford Garage in Chilton and later operated Norb's Shell Station for 14 years. Norb loved bowling, so during the operation of the station, he sponsored a bowling team locally. He later worked for the City of Chilton as foreman of the street department and following his retirement, Norb could be found working at Farm & Home. Norb was very mechanically inclined and enjoyed fixing anything he could, especially cars. He had also used his knowledge and handiwork to build two houses in Chilton. He and his wife, Mary, enjoyed doing things together such as fishing at their cottage at Brussels in Door County, and spending time during the winter in Gulf Shores, Alabama through retirement. Having lived in Chilton since 1947, Norb served on the Chilton Council as an alderman for 5 terms, first being elected at the age of 28. He was very active with the Boy Scouts for 20 years where he served as Committee Troop Leader for six years. He also provided transportation to campouts, instructing & chaperoning scouts. One of his greatest scouting achievements was to see his three sons become Eagle Scouts. He was a member of Good Shepherd Catholic Church, formerly St. Augustine Parish where he served as an usher, church council member, and headed the planning committee for the basement remodel in 1978 and the installation of new pews. Norb had also taken over the supervision of repair projects after the hail storm of May 2000. When the local parishes combined to become Good Shepherd, Norb continued his service to the church by volunteering on the Grounds Committee. He was a lifetime member of the Disabled American Veteran (DAV) where he had also served as it's Commander. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus, a 62 year member of the American Legion Post #125 where he faithfully served on committees, and offices including the Commander. He also served on the firing detail, headed up the Chilton Memorial Day Parade and program every year and, for many years, was the Parade Marshal. In 1992, he was the recipient of the Outstanding Legionnaire in the 6th District for his service to church community, state, and nation. In 2009, Norb was given the opportunity, through the initiation of his daughter Kristine, to participate in the first Old Glory Honor Flight out of Appleton to see the WWII Memorial in Washington DC with his son, Jeff, serving as his guardian. He was always a loving husband to his best friend, Mary, a loving father to his children, and so very proud of their accomplishments in their professions. He stressed the importance of a good education and made sure that each of them received a college education; something he never attained, but wanted it for his children.

THOMAS EVERARD Everard Search Continues The Manitowoc County Sheriff-Traffic Dept. continued Monday to search in the air, on water and by land for a 25 year old Manitowoc man missing and presumed drowned in the Manitowoc River Sunday afternoon. The missing man, Thomas Everard of 934 N. 23rd St., and his companion, Jack Grun, 23, of 912 S. 31st St., were plunged into the river when their canoe capsized in the vicinity of Whitewater Acres. Everard disappeared, but Grun managed to reach shore and go for help. The last time Grun saw Everard, his companion was hanging onto the capsized canoe, which was located about two blocks north of the Fischer farm on Pit Road. A foot search was conducted by personnel of the MCSTD, and Sheriff George F. Wanish contacted the U.S. Coast Guard which joined the search. Wanish was flown over the area Monday by a Manitowoc Flying Club plane piloted by Richard Dryja, and a plane owned by Richard Urn. The Jaycees, sponsors of the Whitewater Race, also had members out on foot patrol, other canoeists and volunteers additionally joined the search. Wanish urged all canoeists to make certain they were wearing life jackets, that they informed someone else of their schedule before leaving for such activity, and that they let authorities know of their whereabouts, so they are not subjects of unwarranted searches. "I would like to personally appeal to all persons preparing for the Whitewater Race to religiously wear a personal floatation device (life jacket ) at all times," Wanish cautioned. "Also, notify some other person of your intended schedule as you proceed down river and then keep to that schedule as much as possible so that a search can commence if you are overdue," the sheriff urged. "If you encounter trouble before reaching your termination point, notify authorities so that it can be verified that your delay is explained and that you are safe," the sheriff additionally urged. "On the day of the race there will be arranged supervision and rescue crews from many volunteer groups lining the banks of the river to offer almost immediate assistance if needed, but in the meantime, be very, very careful," Wanish said. Manitowoc Herald Times Tuesday, March 23, 1976 pg. 2 ******** CAP Joins Search For Everard A Civil Air Patrol plane joined the search Thursday for a 25 year old Manitowoc man missing and presumed drowned in the Manitowoc River. Sheriff George Wanish said arrangements for the plane were made with Major Tim Brennan from Milwaukee. The plane contained a pilot and two aerial observers. Thomas Everard, 934 N. 23rd St., has been missing since Sunday afternoon when a canoe in which he was riding with a companion capsized in the vicinity of Whitewater Acres. Jack Grun, 23, his companion, managed to reach shore but Everard was last seen clinging to the capsized craft. Air searches were made Monday and Tuesday with a plane provided by the Manitowoc Flying Club. Wanish reported that the water was in a murky condition but that it had receded at least two feet since Sunday. Pot holes in the river and areas along the river edge were being searched by persons on foot and using boats, he said. Manitowoc Herald Times Thursday, March 25, 1976 pg. 2 ******** Foot Patrols Continue to Search Area Sheriff George F. Wanish said Friday morning that the search for Thomas Everard, 25, of 934 N. 23rd St., Manitowoc, missing and presumed drowned in the Manitowoc River Sunday afternoon, would he limited to foot patrols Friday because of weather conditions. Heavy fog prevented any continuation of a search by air, and the diminishing depth of the river ruled out use of motor driven craft. Everard disappeared after the canoe in which he and a companion, Jack Grun, 23, of 912 S. 31st St., Manitowoc, were running the river, capsized in the vicinity of Whitewater Acres.

He also greatly appreciated the friendships he made while working out and swimming at Harbor Town Wellness Center in Manitowoc.

Richard was born December 3, 1927, to the late Louis and Marie (Sayeski) Frasch. He attended St. Luke Parochial School and Washington High School in Two Rivers. Richard retired at the age of 79 after working 49.5 years at Parker Hannifin. He took great pride in working well beyond normal retirement and felt he still retired too soon. He served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War and was a lifetime member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #1248, Two Rivers. Bev was born September 11, 1936, to the late Ernest and Catherine Van Enkenvort. Having been born and raised in Green Bay, Bev was a Packer Fan. She knew football quite well and enjoyed a good conversation about teams and other players, but Brett Favre and the Packers were her favorite. She also was a lifelong member of the Ladies Auxiliary of Foreign Wars. Bev and Richard were married in September of 1965 and would have celebrated 52 years of marriage this year. They both enjoyed spending time at their second home in Green Bay (Bev's family home) and developed lasting friendships with their close neighbors both in Two Rivers and Green Bay. They were members of St. Agnes Catholic Church in Green Bay and St. Peter the Fisherman in Two Rivers. In Green Bay, they enjoyed the company of neighbor, Jenny, and her children, Greyson and Andrew, as well as weekly visits from Tom Blaney. Beverly and Richard enjoyed sitting on their back patio watching the Notre Dame Academy students' different activities. They always commented on how wonderful the students were. Summer brought them additional visits from NDA staff and Bev and Richard were quick to offer their hospitality. Through this friendship, they became supporters of Notre Dame and regularly attended the annual President's Dinner. At the most recent dinner in May, they were recognized as special friends of Notre Dame. Their life in Two Rivers included daily breakfast at Joy's Family Restaurant and bench side chats with friend and neighbor, Jerry Schubert. Richard was a great mechanic and each year he would take the snow blowers and lawn mowers apart making sure they were ready for both he and Jerry. Jerry and Richard also delivered Meals on Wheels twice a month. Jerry would be the driver and Richard would run the meals in, greeting people with his warm and friendly smile. They also enjoyed their monthly breakfast gatherings with their nieces and nephews from Sheboygan where talk would often turn to Richard's love of Buicks, (the Cadillac would always be second), sports (Richard preferred baseball and Bev preferred football), and of course, they loved hearing us talk about our grandkids. They were looking forward to a family picnic in the park in July with the grand-nieces and nephews. Survivors include Richard's nieces and nephews from Sheboygan; Michael (Linda) Frasch, Barbara (James) Horneck, Lori (John) Schoen, Steven (Hung) Frasch; Bev's sister, Mary (James) Kommers and her children Jim and Kathy, and nieces and nephews Steve, Sherry, Scott, Shaun, and Shelly; long time neighbor and friend, Jerry Schubert, and other relatives, family and friends.

Paul & Diane lived together on the Funk family farm in the Town of Two Rivers, where they raised their three children, Christine, Samuel and Jacob. Diane worked for the United States Postal Service as a rural postal carrier for nearly 30 years and retired at the age of 63. She also worked at the deli counter at Pick n Save in Two Rivers. Diane enjoyed long walks and tours of waterfalls, cappuccinos from Kwik Trip, creating her custom, hand-stamped cards, get-togethers with many lifelong friends for sheepshead & Packer Sundays, Funk family vacations to various destinations such as Cable, Christmas Mountain Village, Maiden Lake and, most especially to the family cabin, "Moose Lodge." She jokingly would say that she was spending her children's inheritance at Northern Perks in Lakewood every time she had the chance to shop there when she was able to get away to "Moose Lodge."

The family would like to extend their thanks to Dr. Baatz and the team of caregivers at Holy Family Memorial Medical Center for their dedication, skill and care. We will remember her smile, her tenacity, her positive attitude, her love for old fashioneds, her enjoyment of family celebrations and "stamping their brains out" at Fox Hills or Moose Lodge with "Seester" Sue. We will remember her generosity - she cherished the opportunity to spoil her children and her grandchildren, especially when it came to ice cream on vacations. A funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, March 25, 2019, at St. Peter the Fisherman Catholic Church, 3201 Mishicot Rd. Two Rivers.

His eye sight was failing but still he pressed on. Moving slower, refusing to quit, he'd sort through the pieces determined to find just one more piece that would fit. He lived out his life as a puzzle to solve and carefully placed every piece. To the end he pursued, the last piece, now in place. His beautiful puzzle complete.

CLARENCE J. GEISER Clarence J. Geiser, age 93, of Chilton died at his home on January 13, 2011. He was born January 3, 1918 in Chilton, son of the late August & Rosa (Greuel) Geiser. He married Martha Muellenbach on July 15, 1946 in Charlesburg and shared their lives together for over 64 years. Together, Clarence and his wife, Martha ran the family dairy farm in the town of Charlestown. Clarence's knowledge and talents in business, agriculture, mechanics, carpentry, and care for animals led to a successful family farm. As a carpenter, Clarence picked up many hammers in his life to build or remodel beautiful homes. In 1985, he created and built their retirement home without blueprints on paper, but in his mind. In his free time, Clarence enjoyed the outdoors, especially fishing. He loved to go to the nearby river to catch Northern. Once, when the fish weren't biting on Lake Winnebago, Clarence, at the age of 65, decided, "The heck with this", and went water skiing. During the winter, he usually found sturgeon fishing successful and snowmobiling an adventure. Even at the age of 70, the 'young gang' would go out snowmobiling with Clarence, and he would surely outlast most into the wee hours of the morning. Clarence was a team player for the St. Mary's Dartball League, collecting shelves of trophies throughout those years. He played many hands of Sheepshead, and Skat with friends and relatives, even winning a few from time to time. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus, the Catholic Knights, and practiced his Catholic faith with fellow parishioners of Good Shepherd Parish. Later in his life, his health may have kept him from going to church, but it did not stop him from prayer. Up to this very summer, Clarence took great pride in his huge garden and flower beds. Weeds had no chance to exist amongst the thriving flowers and vegetable plants. His passion was to grow, harvest, and enjoy God's gifts of the great outdoors. Clarence bestows great memories to his survivors, his loving wife, Martha; four children, Harold Geiser of Chilton, Joseph (Jody) Geiser of Charlesburg, Donald (Ruth) Geiser of Chilton, and Linda (Ron) Alger of Chilton. The grandchildren who were blessed to have Grandpa Geiser in their lives include, Charissa Alger and special friend Brian Breit and daughter Maddy, Cassandra Alger, Adam Geiser, Joshua Geiser, and Derek Geiser. Clarence is further survived by his brother, Richard (JoAnn) Geiser of Belgium, WI, and a sister, Berna (Bob) Pero of St. Augustine, FL; two sisters-in-law, Lorraine Geiser & Bertilla Muellenbach of Charlesburg; a brother-in-law, Claude Gebhart of Chilton. Clarence was preceded in death by his parents; a brother, Werner Geiser; sisters, Mildred Gebhart and Leona (Edward) Keuler; brothers-in-law, John Muellenbach, Frank Muellenbach; and sisters-in-law, Mary Muellenbach, Leona (John) Karls, and Veronica (Edward) Karls. Funeral service will be on Monday, January 17, 2011 St. Good Shepherd Catholic Church, 54 E. Main St., in Chilton with the Rev. Bob Kollath officiating. Entombment will be in the Knollwood Mausoleum. God has called His angels to open the gates wide to welcome this great man, Clarence Joseph Geiser, to everlasting life in heaven. Source: Wieting Family Funeral Home -Chilton, WI

She also looked forward to trips to the casino, most recently a day trip with her 3 sons just 3 weeks ago.

Herald Times Reporter, October 28, 1984 P. 3 ******** LOSES EYE IN ACCIDENT George Gosz, a son of Paul Gosz, superintendent of the Allwood Lime Company's quarry at Rockwell was injured while using a hand drill in the plant of the company last Friday morning through the drill striking and causing the explosion of part of an unexploded shot of dynamite which had been placed in the rock that he was drilling. The young man was at once brought to the hospital and put in charge of Doctors Shaw and Adridge. His principle injuries were to the left eye which was pierced by several particles of stone. Every effort possible was made to save the eye but the efforts were unsuccessful and he was operated upon Sunday morning and the eye removed. He is recovering since then and will be about again in a few days. The accident is the first serious one that has occurred at this quarry during its fifteen years of existence. Manitowoc Pilot - Thurs. Sept. 23, 1926 ******** GOSZ ABLE TO LEAVE HOSPITAL George Gosz, who was injured by an explosion while working in the quarry of the Allwood Lime Company on September 17, has so far recovered that he has been removed from the hospital here to his home. the injury to Mr. Gosz occurred through an explosion of a small charge of dynamite which had been placed in a hole that he was drilling in the rock at the quarry and which he thought had been exploded. The statement in a previous article that the explosion was due to a charge of dynamite placed there two or three years aback and forgotten has been found wholly incorrect. The charge which exploded and injured Gosz was placed there by himself on the morning of the accident and he thought it had been exploded before, attempting to drill farther in the hole in which it was placed. It had not been, however, and the pressure of the air drill upon it caused the explosion which injured him. Gosz lost his left eye in the accident but suffered no other permanent injuries. His many friends will be pleaded to learn of his being able to be about again. Manitowoc Pilot - Thurs., Sept. 30, 1926 ******** (18 Apr. 1906/Oct. 1984/SSDI)

For Those I Love and For Those Who Love Me When I am gone, release me, let me go. I have so many things to do. You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears. Be happy that we had so many years. I gave you my love; you can only guess How much you have in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it's time to travel on alone. So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must, Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for a while that we must part, So bless the memories that lie within your heart. I won't be far away, for life goes on, But if you need me, call and I will come… Though you can't see or touch me, I will be near. And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear All of my love around you, soft and clear… And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and "Welcome Home."
