Obituary:
Carlton "Bud" Dreier stopped working on Friday September 21, 2012. He was born in Appleton, January 30, 1924 son of the late Edward and Anna (Boldt) Dreier. Bud married Mary Jane (Bouche) November 5, 1949. They later divorced.
Following high school Bud proudly served in the U.S. Army Air Corps during WWII where he repaired damaged military aircraft. After his discharge he was employed by the phone company, Lueblke Roofing and Miller Electric. Bud spent the greater part of his career as sheet metal fabricator and welder for Overly's in Neenah and then Thermo Electron in Kaukauna, from which he retired in 1990.
He was a hands-on Dad, supporting all his children's activities and interests. He almost always was able to attend his children's events, sporting and otherwise. A self-admitted "Kaukauna Sports Fan" he continued to follow the team sports long after his kids graduated. Bud's one goal in life was to be a good father to his children, he succeeded.
When he was able, Bud could be counted on to help any friend who needed his expertise, be it roofing, moving, fixing or building.
Viewing the eagles around the 1000 Island Nature Area, Kaukauna was great entertainment. The Honor Flight to Washington DC on April 7, 2011 was a major highlight. He enjoyed the company of his many friends at Rose Hill.
Bud is survived by six sons; Stephen Dreier of Medford, Jeffrey (Valerie) Dreier of Appleton, Denny (Candace) Dreier of Mazomanie, Robert (Jann) Dreier of Appleton, Thomas (Patricia) of Stevens Point and Andrew (Susan) Dreier of Green Bay, a daughter, Kathleen of Tucson, AZ, nine grandchildren; Lara (Chad Walker) Dreier, Sarah (Aaron) Bohm, Stephen, Daniel, Matthew, Katherine, Logan, Amber and Emma. He is also survived by a sister, Leora Hooyman and brother, Allan and brother-in-law, Roland Choudoir all of Appleton. Bud is further survived by many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
Bud was preceded in death by his parents, two sisters, Myrtle Kositzke and Vernice Choudoir, brothers-in-law; Wilber Kositzke, Gerald Hooyman, sister-in-law, Vera Dreier, a granddaughter, April Dreier and former wife, Mary Jane.
Funeral service will be 7:00 PM on Tuesday September 25, 2012 at VALLEY FUNERAL HOME. Visitation will be at the funeral home on Tuesday beginning at 4:00 PM until the hour of service. In lieu of flowers, a memorial has been established.
The family would like to express their immense gratitude to the staffs at Grand Horizons and St. Paul Elder Services and to Dr. Danz for all their kindness, compassion, care and patience with Dad.
Reflecting on his family, children, daughters-in-law and grandchildren, whom he loved beyond measure, Bud often expressed "I feel like I'm the luckiest guy in the world."
"Dad, we are the luckiest family in the world, we will make sure we give everyone a kiss and hug from you."
