Wilbert Herrmann Obituary
He is also survived by his brothers Marvin (the late Sharon), and John (Marlene). Preceded in death by his father and mother and brothers, Vernon and Roger. Survived by his sisters-in-law Marcie Herrmann and Darleen Herrmann. Also survived by his brother-in-law Michael Koppitsch and sister-in-law Julie (the late Roy) Palnau.
Wilbert was born in Shawano, WI on June 8, 1938, the son of Gotthelf and Edna (Boettcher) Herrmann. He was born again through the washing of Holy Baptism on June 19, 1938 when the Holy Spirit washed away his sins. He was confirmed at St. James Lutheran Church, Shawano, WI on April 6, 1952 when he promised to be faithful to his Lord even unto death.
By grace alone the Lord enabled him to keep that promise. In 1960 Wilbert graduated from U.W. River Falls. He attended Michigan State University and received an MS in 1968. In 1981 he received an Administrative Specialist degree from U.W. Milwaukee. He served in the Army from 1961-1963 as a Personnel Specialist. He taught at Morenci, MI for 7 years and at the Four County Vocational School in Ohio for 2 years before coming to Mukwonago where he served as Vocational Director until his retirement in 1997.
Wilbert and Martha were married at Trinity Lutheran Church, Morenci, MI on June 3, 1967. They moved to Mukwonago in 1972 where he worked for the Mukwonago School District for 25 years.
Wilbert was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church in Mukwonago, Wi where he served on the Board of Education, Board of Elders, Church Council and counted weekly offerings. He enjoyed gardening, fishing, woodworking, and golf.
Visitation will be held at St. John's Lutheran Church, 410 W. Veterans Highway, Mukwonago, WI on Sunday, August 25th from 2:30 - 4:00PM with the Funeral Service at 4:00PM. Pastor John Bortulin officiating.

Wil was a good and faithful man. It was my honor to know and work with him for many years in the Mukwonago Area School District. A man of high character he was a credit to both the school district and the community. I know he is now with his savior for eternity. God bless.

I see my older brother David noted Mr. Herrmann´s passing. I can only add anything different is that I graduated in 1970. He was to us a guide that made good things and knowledge invisibly flow in. I remember him as one of my top teachers and advisor. We all were fortunate to know him.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of "Mr. Herrmann". I was a student of his in Vocational Agriculture and Future Farmers of America (FFA) at Morenci, MI High School. Martha was a classmate in our MHS Class of '65. Mr Herrmann helped me greatly in building leadership and public speaking skills which I further developed and used extensively in my business career. I believe he was my most influential teacher in this life. He will always be with me Condolences to Martha and Family. David Shaffer Troy, MI
