Doug LeCaptain and William Van DeKreeke as celebrants. A time of visitation will be held at the church on Saturday from 9:30 a.m. until the time of Mass. In lieu of flowers, memorials would be appreciated in his name to St. Raphael Catholic Church, Park View Health Care Center or the Fox Valley Hematology and Oncology of Oshkosh. The family wishes a very special thank you to Tim and Elizabeth for all their help at Parkview, thanks also to Eileen for her great nursing, thanks also to Dr. Klinkhammer and Dr. Gremminger for their great care.

God saw he was getting tired, and a cure was not to be, So he put His arms around him and whispered "Come With me" With tearful eyes we watched him suffer, and saw him fade away, And although we loved him dearly, we could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard-working hands to rest God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
