  Raymond Bleier, age 89, of Appleton, passed to eternal life at Theda Clark Medical Center on Monday, November 10, 2014, and the 239th anniversary of the U.S. Marines. He was born to life on September 26, 1925, in Appleton, the son of the late John and Wilhelmina "Minnie" (Jansen) Bleier. Dutch was elected to Badger Boys State and was co-captain of the Boys' Basketball team. He served his country in the U.S. Marines. On June 25, 1949, he married Rose Ann Gmeiner at All Saints Episcopal Church in Appleton. Dutch's employment began as a division merchandise buyer of women's clothing for 25 years at H.C.

Dutch had many interests over the years, including being a softball pitcher, playing basketball and racquetball, swimming, golfing, biking, and woodworking. He looked forward to the summer vacations in northern Wisconsin. His family came first; he loved his family and the small gatherings with family and friends.
