Gary W. Gritzmacher was born July 27, 1934 and passed away on May 29, 2021.

Funeral services for Gary were held on Friday, June 4, 2021 at St. Mary's Church in Oshkosh with Father Jerry officiating followed by a military service and internment at Lake View Memorial Park.

In the 1950's, Gary was drafted in the United States Army and served his country with pride.

Gary married Janet Burns (the love of his life) on June 9, 1956. They were 9 days short of 65 years of marriage when God called him home.

A life member of the Knights of Columbus, when living in Appleton, he was an active member. He made many lasting friendships and was an active bowler on their league.

Gary will be remembered for his understanding and kindness toward others. He was always willing to share his knowledge with them. He enjoyed teaching younger generation how to fish and hunt. Gary enjoyed fishing and hunting when his health permitted, he made annual fishing trips to Canada and annual hunting trips to Neillsville with cousins.

Gary appreciated the many people that helped him during his extended illness. We will always be thankful to all of you.
