Raymond Kriplean, "Butch" to his friends and family, age 61, formerly of Little Chute, WI, passed away Tuesday, October 13, 2009, at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola, FL, after a courageous battle with cancer. Raymond lived in nearby Orange Beach, AL, with his wife, Jane Kriplean. Born August 3, 1948, to Melvin and the late Rose (Kettleson) Kriplean, Raymond grew up in Little Chute, WI, and graduated from St. John's Catholic High School before receiving a degree in Electronics from the DeVry Institute of Technology in Chicago, IL. After graduating, he married Jane Ann Vander Zanden, of Kaukauna, WI, in 1968. Raymond proudly served his country by enlisting in the United States Army, and was deployed to Vietnam. Upon returning home, he settled in Little Chute, WI, and raised two daughters. He was the proud owner of Kriplean Seamless Gutters, in Little Chute, WI, until moving to Orange Beach, AL, in 1999, where he took up work for 8 years with Vulcan, Inc. as a machinist.

Butch enjoyed the outdoors, bicycle riding, boating, and walking on the beach. When relaxing, you could find Butch in his favorite recliner, watching Nascar or the Packers game. He was an avid reader and found strength in the Bible over his 2 year fight.
