According to members of the police department who investigated the accident, Mrotek had not been in the Recreation parlors and had entered the building with the intention of going into the basement when he slipped and fell. The accident occurred at about 5:30 o'clock as far as could be learned but it was not until nearly 7 o'clock that he was taken to the hospital.

Fifteenth street, according to persons who sought to learn trace of his whereabouts during the afternoon, after he had stopped at several Washington street establishments.

EUGENE G. MROTEK Eugene G. Mrotek, age 87, of 1231 S. 20th St., Manitowoc, died on Sunday evening, June 8, 2008, at Holy Family Memorial Medical Center, Manitowoc. Gene was born on April 23, 1921, son of the late Alex and Pauline (Korlesky) Mrotek. He attended Lincoln High School, Manitowoc. Gene joined the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Gene's years as a circus performer are divided into two segments, before and after World War II. At the outbreak of World War II, he was performing in Havana, Cuba. He was home only a week when he was hired at the Manitowoc Shipbuilding Company where his father and five brothers were already working in the shipyards. Before he was drafted, Gene enlisted in the Army Air Corps, but was placed in the Army. He trained at Camp Swift, Texas, and Camp Polk, La. He took part in desert maneuvers in Arizona and California and took mountain training in West Virginia. He sailed to England aboard the SS America and landed there about a week after the invasion at Normandy. He was in France with the 3rd Army and was hit in several places by shrapnel when crossing the Moselle River. He was also injured in Germany, this time more seriously. His unit was preparing to attack the Siegfried Line on the German western front. Gene spent a week in a field hospital and then went back to his outfit. He fought in the Battle of the Bulge and ended his army service as a Staff Sergeant with the new 9th Army. He was awarded two purple hearts and a bronze star. After the war, Gene returned home, and continued his acrobatic training with the Billy Schultz Circus. After a few years at home, he rejoined the circus as a "catcher" for the Yacopi Troupe, the man that caught the acrobats as they descended from their lofty perches. Gene has many photos from his time in the circus, but three that stand out are the three that involve famous stars. The first is one of him with a terrified Jimmy Duranti on his shoulders. The second photo is of the troupe with Bob Hope at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. The third photo was taken in New York in 1950 with Kirk Douglas on Gene's shoulders. To Gene, the circus was like one big happy family. When Gene decided to settle down, he moved back to Manitowoc, enrolled in an apprenticeship program and became a carpenter for Hamann Construction Co., and eventually retired from Hamann Construction Co. On Aug. 16, 1958, he married Lenore Markowski at the former St. Mary's Catholic Church, Manitowoc. (Survivors omitted for privacy.) He is preceded in death by five brothers: Harry, Benny, Louis, Danny and Max; and four sisters: Irene, Della, Alice and Grace.

Richard Klingeisen, with entombment to follow in Calvary Mausoleum. The AMVETS Post 99, Manitowoc, will accord military rites.
