John Beyer Obituary

Beyer, John Emil Of Delafield, age 63 years, found rest after a courageous battle with cancer. He entered Eternal Life on May 18, 2012, after those who love him prayed for his suffering to end. He was born in Milwaukee on January 10, 1949 to loving parents Leopold and Audrey Beyer. John graduated from Francis Jordan High School in 1967 and then married Georgia Crandall later that year. Together they had two daughters, Bridgett and Nicole. They built their first home in 1971 in Mukwonago where they lived until moving to Delafield to be closer to their children and grandchildren. John worked at Tower Automotive (formerly A.O. Smith) for 38 years before his retirement. John's special interests were hunting, skiing, kayaking, nature, photography and many genres of music. He was an avid sports fan. His greatest pastime was spending time with his grandchildren who adored his zest for life. They shared many fun times together and he will be deeply missed. Devoted husband of Georgia (nee Crandall). Wonderful father of Bridgett (Chad) Schmidt and Nicole (Dean) Wintersberger. Extremely proud grandfather of McKenna, Cole, Ashley and Allie Schmidt and Jacob and Aaron Wintersberger. Loving son of Audrey (nee Bolewski) Beyer and son-in-law of Thomas Crandall. Dear brother of Michael (Barbara) Beyer and Mary Jo (David) Jung. Dear brother-in-law of Holly Billings (Art Wachal) and Dean Billings. Thoughtful uncle of Eric (Katie) Jung, Ryan Jung, Angie and Jacquie Beyer, Stacy Billings, Lori (Antonio) Ramos, and Bryan (Jen) Billings. Also survived by other relatives and many friends. John is reunited in Heaven with his father, Leopold, both maternal and paternal grandparents, John and Sophie Bolewski, and Emil and Magdalena Beyer, mother-in-law Myrna Crandall, and brother-in-law Tommy Crandall. Per John's request, friends may greet the family for a celebration of his life on Sunday, June 10, 2012, at the home of Bridgett and Chad Schmidt, 172 Laurel Court, Delafield, from 1-5 PM. Please RSVP to: bridgett_schmidt@ yahoo.com. The family is requesting memorials to The Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation to help tackle cancer. "The song has ended, but the melody lingers on."

My very deepest sympathies to John's family. I worked with John for 12 years and a group of us spent time partying , playing cards and enjoying John's positive attitude. I moved on to California in the early 80's and we spoke from time to time. I know he is missed . I am sorry that he could not spend longer on this earth to enjoy his family. They were always first in John's life. God bless John's family.

May John's memory always be a blessing to all of his loved ones. I certainly remember him in our grade school class at Mother of Good Counsel. I was saddened to read of his passing.

Those we love can never be more than a thought apart for as long as there is memory…My sincere sympathy is always with you and your family. I knew John and his family for a long time as our lives took somewhat same paths…went to MGC as John went to Francis Jordan; I went to Wilbur Wright and Washington High. John and Mike were Milwaukee Journal Carriers at C-19 as well as I and my brothers. In my senior year I drove truck for the Journal, but somehow ended up that fall at AO Smith to make more money. John dad was already there as a supervisor. I explored there at AO Smith and worked many different jobs and also Union positions. My world with AO Smith/Tower Automotive came to end with Heavy Truck moving out in early 2001. I went back to school at MATC and graduated for Video Productions. I now travel the world telling my stories as well as doing part-time work as a security guard at St Joseph's Hospital in West Bend to have health insurance. Life's path takes us on many different journeys in helping the soul…God Bless
