Connie was a loving husband, father, brother, grandfather, uncle, and friend and will be deeply missed by all. He graduated from Lincoln High School, Wisconsin Rapids, WI in 1948 and joined the Navy shortly after, serving from 1948-1952 being stationed in Key West Florida and San Juan, Puerto Rico. He often said that being at Boy Scout Camp was one of the happiest times of his childhood. He worked for the United States Post Office for over 30 years and he especially enjoyed his time delivering on the rural routes. He greatly enjoyed golfing, fishing, and hunting and took many trips with friends and family to deer camp and to Canada fishing. Connie was an avid Packer fan and never missed tuning into the game. He also enjoyed watching M*A*S*H and The Waltons. He was always willing to help family and friends with projects and was often seen with a video camera recording the fun being had. Connie also greatly enjoyed reading and enjoying a good Brandy Manhattan. Peggy and Connie enjoyed many travels together including camping with family and friends and vacations to Yellowstone National Park, Branson Missouri, and fishing trips to Canada. They took yearly anniversary trips in October where they would "Just get in the car and drive". Funeral Services will be held at John. J. Buettgen Funeral Home, 631 E. Grand Ave., Wis.
