- Tim "Popeye" Theisen, 58, Green Bay, died Monday morning, June 18, 2007, at Manor Care East in Green Bay following a six month illness with lung cancer. He was born May 12, 1949, in Fond du Lac, to Dr. James K. and Mary (Gerend) Theisen. At the age of seven years old he moved with his family to Green Bay where he attended Cathedral Grade School and Premontre High School. In 1967, the family moved to Oconto Falls and Tim graduated from Oconto Falls High School with the Class of 1968. Following graduation he attended NWTC for marketing. Tim lived in Green Bay for most of his life and was employed for many years for RGIS, an inventory control systems firm, and traveled to many different states for his job. He was most recently employed at Wisconsin Plastics in Ashwaubenon. Tim returned to NWTC in September of 2006 and was studying CNC programming. He was very active in Boy Scouts when he was young. As a huge Packers fan, he enjoyed organizing relatives to attend Family Night at Lambeau Field. Tim will be fondly remembered by his family for playing Santa Claus every Christmas, even coming down the chimney and for his love of sail boating.
