Louis W. Golembiewski, 96, a longtime resident of West Allis, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully on August 22, 2025, in Milwaukee. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 62 years, Alice M. Golembiewski (née Theoret). Louis is survived by his children: Teresa A. Golembiewski of Whitewater, Michael L. Golembiewski of Waterford, Joan M. (Dave) Junkhan of De Pere, and Janet L. (Terry) Bennett of Wausau. He was the proud grandfather of Liam (Miranda) Bennett, Mitchell Junkhan, and Erin (Erik Vogel) Bennett, and the cherished great-grandfather of Henry and Evalyn Bennett, with another great-grandchild expected soon. Born on September 16, 1928, in Milwaukee to Michael and Mary Golembiewski (née Urbanska), Louis lived a full and vibrant life. He served honorably during the Korean War, volunteered for many years at Polish Fest, and enjoyed playing Sheepshead, visiting the casino, and spending time with family and friends. Visitation will be held at Nitardy Funeral Home, Whitewater, Wisconsin, on Saturday, August 30, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., followed by a memorial service at 3:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to Camp American Legion, Lake Tomahawk, Wisconsin, a veterans' organization close to Louis's heart.
