- Clarence A. Litscher, 81, Appleton, passed away on Jan. 2, 2010, after a lengthy and courageous battle with a variety of illnesses. Junior was born on May 6, 1928, to the late Clarence and Cecelia Litscher. On Sept. 11, 1948, he married Geane Luedtke at Zion Lutheran Church in Appleton. She preceded him in death on April 20, 1992. Junior was a U.S. Air Force veteran, having served during the latter part of World War II. He was a self-employed contractor and beekeeper in the Appleton area until his retirement.
In his younger years, Junior enjoyed hunting and fishing. He also spent many hours working in his warehouse and he could fix just about anything. Junior enjoyed his children and grandchildren and was always happy to see them. He will be greatly missed by his entire family. We will miss our many "chats" with Dad.
Junior is survived by his daughter, Sherry (Doug) Van Dyn Hoven, Kaukauna; two sons, Jim (Kathy) Litscher, Eau Claire; and Russ (Roseann) Litscher, Combined Locks; his six grandchildren, Tim, Tyler, Traci and Tom, Eau Claire; Chad and Kaylie, Combined Locks; one great-grandson, Aiden; his sister and brother-in-law, Ramona and Gordon Van Asten; as well as many nieces and nephews.
Junior was preceded in death by his brothers, Jerome and Alois; and by his sister, Virginia Jansen.
Friends may call at the WICHMANN FUNERAL HOME, Appleton, on Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2010, from 4 to 8 p.m. To honor Junior's wishes, there will not be a formal funeral ceremony. Interment will be in Highland Memorial Park.
The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to Dr. Shilo Ramos and the staff at the Appleton VA Outpatient Center and the staff of ThedaCare at Home for their loving care. The family would further like to thank his sturgeon spearing buddy and friend of many years, Scott Schmalz, for his help and friendship.
