| Notes |
- Earl Victor Petri Sr., 69, Fon du Lac, passed quietly at his home in the early morning hours of July 9, 2020 following a courageous battle with COPD and heart failure. He was born on June 22, 1951 to Clarence and Sylvia (Kropp) Petri. He was named after his dadÂ’s brother, his uncle Earl who died a hero in WWII while trying to save his crewmates from a B-24 bomber that crashed and burned.
Earl attended school in Green Bay and Seymour High School, as well as classes at NWTC. A proud Marine, he was honorably discharged after four years due to an injury while in service. Earl was not a complainer and had a sense of humor like his dad. In his later years he was a maintenance supervisor at a large shopping center.
He is survived by his daughters, Wanda (John) Giese and their son Ethan, Heather (Jacob) Pflaum, and their children Dylan, Olivia, Carter, Angelica; sisters, Carol (Russell) Cartwright, and Sherry Petri (Special friend Dean).
Earl was preceded in death by his parents Clarence V. Petri and Sylvia Petri; his step mother, Angeline Petri. He was also preceded in death by his son, Earl Jr.; as well as brothers, Clarence R. Petri, William Petri, and two infant siblings.
