    Obituary:
    Harold "Harry" J. Baeten, 85, West De Pere, passed away peacefully Wednesday, May 3, 2017. He was born April 14, 1932 in West De Pere to Peter H. and Hattie (Gerrits) Baeten. On July 8, 1953 Harry married the former Mary Ann Geurts at St. Mary's in De Pere.
    In addition to serving his country in the U.S. Army, Harry attended St. Norbert High School and St. Norbert College. He earned a master's degree from the University of Wisconsin, Madison and a Ph. D. from the University of Michigan. Harry spent his career as an educator and a naturalist, implementing significant developments in the sciences at St. Norbert College and inspiring the love of science in generations of students in his nearly 40 years at the College. His passion for history led him to write two books, a history of St. Norbert College and a genealogical account of the Baeten family. He loved farming, gardening, fishing, caring for his land, and fine woodworking. Harry held court at the head of the schmear table; served as a De Pere Kiwanian and cooked at the Flamingo tournament; and dearly loved his family, challenging them in their minds and hearts to achieve, think and live their lives fully. He also made us laugh, with a wry sense of humor and jokes he repeated at least a thousand times.
    Harry is survived by his wife of 64 years, Mary Ann; eight children: Betsy (Larry), Pete (Wendy), Ann (David), Mark (Fi), Tom (MJ), Bill (Colleen), Mary (Eric), and Jason (Peter); 19 grandchildren: Harry, Rose, Josh (Christina), Caleb (Katie), Andrew (Victoria), Britta (Jeff), Allie (Saul), Mia, Anna, Andrea (Erik), Kevin, Lizzey, Austin, Faith, Emily, Ben, Sam, Amelia, and Hattie; four great-grandchildren: Addison, Kennedy, Liesl, and Warner; daughter-in-law Betse Macco; sister Donna; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; his in-laws Leo and Marie Geurts; son Paul; sisters Mary (Chip), Helen (Don), and Ruth (Loren); and brother-in-law Roy.
    Family and friends may visit from 2:00 to 4:00 PM on Monday, May 8, 2017 at the St. Norbert College Parish at Old St. Joseph Church. Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 4:00 PM with Fr. Matt Dougherty, O. Praem. officiating. A celebration of Harry's life will follow at T&C Bar and Grill, 1358 Mid Valley Dr., De Pere, WI.

    Obituary:
    Paul Baeten, 52, of De Pere, died unexpectedly Saturday afternoon July 14, 2012 in Menominee County. He was doing what he loved best, being outdoors with friends and family and enjoying a beautiful summer day. The son of Harold and Mary Ann (Geurts) Baeten was born December 29, 1959, in Green Bay, WI. He was a graduate of West De Pere High School in 1978 and St. Norbert College. Paul was a lifelong De Pere resident. On February 18, 2002 he married Elizabeth "Betse" Macco in Green Bay, WI.
    Paul lived life with zest and love. He loved fishing, hunting, gardening, and soccer. But most of all, he loved his family and friends. He was an extraordinarily thoughtful and caring husband, father, son, uncle, and brother. Paul recently returned to school at St. Norbert College to attain a degree in accounting. His business interests were wide-ranging, from computer technology consultant to entrepreneur.
    Paul is survived by Harold and Mary Ann (Geurts) Baeten (Parents), Betse Macco (Wife), Andrea Baeten (Daughter), Kevin Wright (Stepson), Elizabeth Wright (Stepdaughter), Siblings: Betsy Baeten, Peter Baeten, Ann (Baeten) Vande Hei, Mark Baeten, Tom Baeten, Bill Baeten, Mary (Baeten) Ellison and Jason Baeten. He is further survived by his in-laws: Larry Cahoone, MA, Wendy Schacher, Oxford, David Vande Hei, De Pere, Fiona Baeten, Australia, MJ Lemire, CA, Anne Baeten, De Pere, Eric Ellison, CA, and Peter Orth, CA.
    Friends and family may call at RYAN FUNERAL HOME, 305 N. Tenth St, De Pere on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. with a Family Prayer Service at 3:45 p.m. Visitation will continue on Thursday, July 19, 2012 at Old St. Joe's Catholic Church on St. Norbert College Campus from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 3:00 p.m. at church. Burial will follow Mass in Mt. Calvary Cemetery, De Pere. Please visit www.ryanfh.com to send online condolences to the Baeten family.
    He will be deeply missed by everyone with whom he came in contact. His warm character and wide-open smile welcomed the world, and it is a smaller and sadder place without him. Our lives will always be richer for having him with us these far too few years.
