Hubert Hermans Obituary
Hubert "Hub" M. Hermans, 77, Eaton, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on Monday evening, Feb. 10, 2014, following a courageous battle with cancer. Hub was born in Luxemburg, on March 17, 1936, to the late Frank and Philomine (Vaness) Hermans. Hub married Janet M. Gauthier at SS. Cyril & Methodius Catholic Church on June 19, 1957.
He worked at McMahon's Furniture and learned the floor covering business. Hub and Janet started their own family business; Hub's Floor Covering, in 1969 and is currently operating with the 2nd and 3rd generations. They passed the love of the flooring industry to many members of the family and all of them worked in the business at some point. Hub was truly a family man and family was a very important part of his life. Over the years, there were many nights spent visiting around the dining room table and many campfires sharing stories. He also enjoyed camping, boating, fishing, golfing, gardening, and his four tractors. He was a member of the Denmark FFA Alumni and the Denmark Knights of Columbus. He enjoyed volunteering for those organizations and also volunteering at Prince of Peace Church and SS Cyril & Methodius Faith Community Chapel.
He is survived by his loving wife, Janet, of 56 years; five children, Gary Hermans (fiancee, Mary), Green Bay; Mike Hermans (special friend, Jen), Florida; Christine (Jody) Laabs,f Green Bay; Wendy Hermans (special friends, Dawn and Kastin), Oshkosh; and Jeff Hermans (special friend, Sarah) of Madison; grandchildren, Becky (Travis) Hawbecker, Justin (Heather) Hermans, Kyle, Eric and Ashley Laabs, Abby, and Porter Hermans; great-grandchildren, Madison and Carter Hermans, and Parker Hawbecker; three sisters, Lucy Rueckl, Marie (Richard) Charles, Veronica (Ted) Ploof, all of Luxemburg; and one sister-in-law, Ethel Hermans, New Franken; three brothers-in-law, Donald Gauthier, Denmark; Dale (Elaine) Gauthier, Kewaskum; and David (Peggy) Gauthier, Maribel; Bonnie Gauthier, Denmark.
Preceding him in death were his parents, Frank and Philomine, two brothers, Linus and Orville, one sister-in- law, Beatrice Hermans; and one brother-in-law, Norbert Rueckl.

Hub was a beautiful man who we will miss greatly. He was a compassionate and loving man who was there for our family with heartfelt hugs and understanding during our darkest hours. We will miss him and his encouraging words greatly. We are heartbroken for your family, as we know what a beautiful man he truly was. We want you to know that your Husband/Father/Grandpa was inspiring to all who knew him. We will truly miss him. His love for life and compassion for people knew no bounds.
