  Leo H. Mitchell, Kaukauna, 68, passed away after a courageous battle with cancer, at home on May 4, 2013. Leo was born in Kaukauna, WI, on April 11, 1945, the son of the late Peter and Ella Mitchell. Leo was a graduate of Kaukauna High School. On May 11, 1967, he married Kathleen Rademaker at St. Mary's Church in Kaukauna. They were blessed with two wonderful children, Michelle and Michael. They lost Kathy in 1982 after a lifelong battle with cancer. Leo married Dorothy La Plant on December 2, 1983, at St. Mary's Church in Kaukauna and was a great step-father to six children. Leo retired from Stoelting Inc., Kiel, WI, in 2010 after 38 years of employment. Prior to Stoelting, Leo worked at Calumet Corp. in Algoma, WI, and MellowGold Dairy in Kaukauna. Leo looked forward to his spring vacations with his brothers, brother-in-law and nephews for over 30 years at Lac Vieux Desert, WI. During the summer, the Mitchell family spent a week vacation at Crivitz, starting with a few cottages until they were able to rent 8 cottages together and spent over 30 years together and is still ongoing. Deer hunting in fall was another favorite. Spending time with his brothers was more enjoyable than getting an occasional buck. Leo liked to make things with wood and completed "4-apartment" bird houses for each of his eight children. Many memories were made with the twelve grandchildren over the years. Leo is survived by his wife, Dot Mitchell, Kaukauna; four daughters: Michelle, Appleton; Sharon (Kevin) Johnson, Kaukauna; Susan (Keith) Thon, Kaukauna; and Linda (Dan) Luneau, East Troy; as well as well as four sons: Mike (Tammy) Mitchell, Appleton; James (Barb) La Plant, Black Creek; Dave (Pam) La Plant, Freedom; and John (Lisa) La Plant, Kaukauna; and twelve grandchildren: Kyla Mitchell, Christina and Christopher Johnson, Patrick and Christopher Van Camp, Trevor La Plant, Angie and Danielle La Plant, Haydn and Kiarra Thon, McKoy and Bayler Luneau. He is further survived by his sisters and brothers: Marion Biesterveld, Barb (Gene) Vanderloop, Boniface (Elsie) Mitchell, Matt (Judy) Mitchell, and Larry (Linda) Mitchell; Kathy's brother Jim Rademaker; Kathy's sister-in-law Karen Rademaker; Dot's mother Clara Basler; Dot's sister and brothers: Carol (Bruce) Kaehler, Ken (Sue) Basler and Patrick (Diane) Basler. He is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Leo was preceded in death by his first wife Kathy; his parents Peter and Ella Mitchell; his sisters Edna and Rita Mitchell; his in-laws Don and Irene Rademaker, and Hercel Basler; sister-in-law Rose Rademaker; brothers-in-law Virgil Biesterveld and Richard Rademaker; and nephew Jim Mitchell.
