| Notes |
- Walter LeRoy "Roy" Plamann was relieved of his long battle with Dementia and Alzheimers on April 9, 2016 at the age of 85. Walt was born in Nichols on May 21, 1930 to Walter F. Plamann and Mabel (Blink) Plamann. He graduated from Bonduel High School in 1948. After high school he served two tours in the U.S. Navy, primarily as a firefighter. One in Corpus Christi, TX and the other aboard the USS Midway. He married Janet (Wirth) of Antigo on June 14, 1958. Through their 40 year marriage, they raised three children: Susan (Randy) Palmbach, Winchester; Nancy (Chris) Harn, Freedom and Dan (Lisa) Plamann, Sturgeon Bay. He was also a proud grandpa to two grandchildren: Benjamin Palmbach (Fianceé Billie Shafer), Neenah and Olivia Harn, Freedom. During his 40 year career with Kimberly-Clark he was also active in several volunteer organizations. This included serving as assistant fire chief with the Clayton-Winchester Fire Department as well as being an active member of the Clayton area Lions Club. Throughout his younger years, he was very active in sports. He played semi-pro baseball, lettered in track and boxing and played football. His passion became golf where he earned many trophies. In his retirement years he became a supporter of the Neenah Rockets athletic teams where he was regularly seen in the bleachers until he was no longer able to attend. During this time he also took pride in being active with his church, Saint Gabriel Parish.
Along with his children, daughter-in-law, two sons-in-law and grandchildren, Walt is survived by two brothers: Dennis (Joanne), Mequon and Russell (Shirley), Seymour, TN; brother-in-law Otto (Nona) Wirth, Bass Lake; three spouses of brothers-in-law: Dorothy Wirth, Antigo; Delores Wirth-Meyer, Wausau and Geri Wirth, Manitowoc as well as many nieces and nephews. After passing he was greeted by his parents, his wife, three brothers: Keith, Gary and Merle; a sister Audrey; two sisters-in-law: Patricia and Georgiana; three brothers-in-law: Donald Wirth, Richard Wirth and Robert Wirth and nephew Brian Wirth.
Walts family would sincerely like to thank the staff at St. Paul in Kaukauna, ThedaCare Hospice and especially Grand Horizons in Appleton. You helped him through his worst but still loved him like he was the best.
