  Frank J. Roovers, formerly of Kimberly, died peacefully at Bethany Home on October 8, 2015 in Waupaca, Wisconsin, at the age of 87. Frank was born on September 3, 1928, in Kimberly, Wisconsin, to Frank and Jacoba Roovers. He married his wife Dora in January, 1953 after serving in the U. S. Navy aboard the U.S.S. Yancey in the Korean War. In December of 1955 the couple welcomed twins Larry and Terry into their home. Frank spent a career of over 40 years as a papermaker with Kimberly-Clark, and Mid-Tec Corp, where he is fondly remembered by coworkers for his wit and humorous antics.
