  Kaukauna - Eugene J. Linskens, age 85, died Wednesday, August 15, 2018 at Cherry Meadows Hospice in Appleton with his family by his side. Eugene was born on June 14, 1933 in Kaukauna the second oldest of five children to Antone and Irma (Wiedenhaupt) Linskens. Eugene married LaVerne Brown in Orlando, MS on March 8, 1953. They shared 64 happy years together until LaVerne passed away on October 1, 2017. Eugene was a proud Marine after serving his country in Korea and he wore his Marine Corp tattoos as a badge of honor throughout his life. Eugene worked for Consolidated Papers in Appleton for 33 years but his passion was beekeeping. He spent decades working alongside his beloved father and brothers tending the bees and continued that work into his 80's when a bad knee forced him to retire. The Linskens Honey Farm 100-year legacy continues to this day through his son Eugene Jr. and three grandsons. Eugene enjoyed deer hunting, trout fishing, gardening, a good whiskey old fashion, Friday night fish and telling stories by the fire at deer camp. His passing will leave a void we will never fill at the Linskens deer cabin in Pembine. Eugene is survived by children: Eugene Jr. (Debbie) of De Pere; Brian (Ellen) of Green Bay; Brad (Beth) of San Ramon, CA; and Dawn of Minneapolis, MN; grandchildren: Courtney (Dan) Reese, Justin Linskens, Nicole (Thomas) Welke, Michael Linskens, Eric Linskens, Jenni (Nick) Fuss, Christopher (Stacey) Linskens, Jason Linskens, Travis (Jessica) Linskens, Shelly (Billy) Walkup, Chrissy (Kyle) Lanier and Tyler Elliot; 12 great grandchildren; brother David Linskens; and sister-in-law Lois Linskens. He is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. In addition to his wife and parents, Eugene was preceded in death by his daughter and son-in-law: Gail and Robert Elliott; father and mother-in-law: William and Minnie Brown; brothers Donald and Anthony "Sonny" Linskens; sister Joyce Kelling; brother-in-law Earl Kelling; sisters-in-law Betty Linskens and Audrey Linskens; and grandson Ryan Linskens. A family funeral was held at O'Connell Funeral Home followed by his burial at Union Cemetery. To sign the guest book, please visit oconnellfh.com.
