Obituary:
Alfred Scharenbroch, 80, passed away unexpectedly Monday, January 23rd, 2017, surrounded by his loving family. He was born September 5, 1936, in Brillion, Wisconsin to Joseph and Anna (Wolfinger) Scharenbroch. After losing his father at the age of 5, the family moved to Hilbert where Al grew up helping on his uncle's farm and enjoying small town life. He graduated from Hilbert High School in 1954, and on June 9, 1956, he married Donna Barribeau at Holy Cross Church in Kaukauna. They settled in Appleton where they raised five sons. Al worked for Kimberly Clark at the Lakeview Mill until his retirement in 1992. He was a self-taught mechanic, plumber, electrician, and carpenter with great attention to detail. There was nothing he couldn't fix or salvage, and he was incredibly generous with his time and skill. Creating bountiful flower and vegetable gardens from seed was Al's second love, followed closely by armchair coaching of the Brewers, Packers, and Badgers. Other favorite past times included model cars and puzzles (the harder the better), bowling, casino trips, and attending the sporting and school events of his sons and later grandchildren. The times he spent in Crivitz fishing on Lake Noquebay and enjoying his family were among his best.
Al was a humble man who used what he was given to the fullest. His greatest joy was the 60 years he walked side-by-side with his best friend. He made us laugh and taught us to keep all four legs of a chair on the ground . . . at dinner and in life. We couldn't have asked for more.
He is survived by his wife Donna (Barribeau) Scharenbroch of Appleton. Sons: Dennis Scharenbroch of Madison, Don (Mary) Scharenbroch of Appleton, Dan (Alana) Scharenbroch of Kimberly, Joe (Ann) Scharenbroch of Kimberly, Bob (Beth) Scharenbroch of Appleton. Grandchildren: Kristen (Rick) Braatz, Matt (Jennifer) Scharenbroch, Drew Scharenbroch, Laura (Tom) Pethan, Gina Scharenbroch, Kyle Scharenbroch, Amber & Autumn Scharenbroch, Katie & Luke Scharenbroch, and Wyatt Scharenbroch. Great Grandchildren: Felicity Braatz, Will Pethan, and two more on-the-way. He is further survived by a sister, Mary Ann Schmit (Darboy), as well as many nieces and nephews.
Alfred is preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Anna Scharenbroch; in-laws, Donald and Otha Barribeau; and a brother-in-law, Milton Schmit.
