  James R. "Jim" Minkebige of Kaukauna. After a full and active life as a Local Businessman, Father, Husband, Sportsman and Athlete, Jim died peacefully on Friday, December 21, 2007, at AMC. He was born December 9, 1936, to the late Robert and Mable (Hilgenberg) Minkebige in Kaukauna. On April 4, 1959, Jim married the former Carol Schulze at Holy Cross Catholic Church. The couple resided in Kaukauna their entire married lives where Jim and Carol owned and operated the Bowling Bar in Kaukauna for 37 years until their retirement this last August. He was an avid outdoorsman and sportsman, who enjoyed various types of hunting and fishing over the years. Jim also enjoyed his cottage in Rapid River and all the natural beauty it had to offer. He was a lifelong member of Fox Valley Golf Club and carded two separate "hole-in-ones" over the years. Jim was a prolific bowler, once scoring a perfect 300 game. Bowling and the socializing that came with bowling was something Jim and Carol cherished over the years, especially all the friends they met along the way. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his wife, Carol Minkebige; his three children: Mike (Michele) Minkebige and their two children, Caroline and Robert; Holly (fiance, Kurt Johnson) Minkebige; and Dave (Debbie) Minkebige and their son, Matt (Erica) Murray; and a sister, Patty (Roger) Bosin. He is further survived by a niece, Shawn (Troy) Trudeau; a nephew, Blake Bosin; a sister-in-law, Ethel Schulze; a brother-in-law, Harold Gensler; special friends: Dan Wildenberg, Butch (Eileen) Cavol, Mary, Russ and Boomer; and many other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; his mother and father in law, Dewey and Esther (Mueller) Schulze; a sister-in-law, Shirley Gensler; and a brother-in-law, Louis Schulze. A Memorial Service for Jim will be held at 5 p.m. on Sunday, December 23, 2007, at BOETTCHER FAMILY FUNERAL HOME, 2401 Fieldcrest Drive, Kaukauna with Rev. Tim Albrecht officiating. Family and Friends may call from 3 p.m. until the time of service. In Lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been established in his name.
