Glen A. Baugniet

Glen "Boner" Baugniet was born on October 29, 1942, and departed on October 29, 2024, at exactly the age of 82 (just 18 years short of his 100 year goal.so close). He smoked his last cigarette with his buddy Roger and celebrated his birthday all day before departing for his next big adventure at his usual bedtime. Yup, he was a jokester like that!
Glen was the youngest son of Daniel and Evelyn Baugniet of Two Rivers, WI. His parents, brother Bobby, other family members and several crazy friends preceded him in departure. He's survived by sisters Marian Sides, Gail Baugniet, and Wendy Nebrija as well as daughters Nikki (Ed) Baugniet Janke and Jill Baugniet (grandson's Cade Stanley and Luke Haugo), his best buddies Oran Kaminski (lifelong friend and chief instigator), Roger Kuske (newest friend and shenanigans ringleader), remaining Glen's Gas & Oil coffee club members, and several more crazy friends at Brown County Sportsmen's Club where he was proud to say he was a lifetime member.
Glen owned and operated Glen's Gas & Oil (formerly Clark Oil) at 1006 Velp Ave in Green Bay which was a full-service gas station on Green Bay's west side. He took over the station in 1967 and employed some shady characters over the years including both his daughters. He prided himself on providing good service to customers and, as a result, had a loyal customer base (especially elders and people who didn't want to pump their own gas in the pouring rain, driving snow, freezing or inferno temps). He finally retired in 2007 to spend more time at his "part-time fun jobs", playing the slots at Oneida Casino and keeping the grounds clean at Brown County Sportsmen's Club.
Glen was a mostly quiet happy-go-lucky guy who had an uncanny ability to make inappropriate jokes and comments; a constant source of entertainment for those lucky enough to be in earshot (mostly Nikki). He was always smiling, with or without his teeth. When asked how he was, he'd routinely respond with a hearty "finer than frog hairs"!
Glen was kind, honest, sensibly straightforward, never passed up an opportunity to laugh or crack sneaky one liner jokes, and didn't complain about anything other than food. Throughout his life he enjoyed his family, working, smoking (when asked repeatedly to quit smoking, Glen claimed he'd start his own cremation fire with his last cigarette but apparently didn't recognize the logistical issues involved), hunting, fishing, trap shooting, playing the slots, whacking dandelions with his cane (head gardener, neighbors requested to borrow him constantly), watching the Green Bay Packers, Reece's Peanut Butter Cups, Polish 15's (Seagram 7 and 7-up), short game golfing with his daughter, playing cards and giving people reason to smile.
As a dad, Glen, was a prayer answered by God and he taught his daughters life lessons quietly and by example on a daily basis.
Glen survived everything life threw at him with a calm demeanor and great sense of humor. He faced his challenges head-on with dignity, a style all his own, creative problem-solving abilities, and never let difficulties get the better of him. He chose how he wanted to live and how he wanted to leave.
Our family would like to extend special thanks to Dr. Tracy Sherman (Aurora Two Rivers), Dr. Gala and Dr. Hunt (Prevea), the amazing family at Country Villa Assisted Living (Pulaski), all of the staff at Pfotenhauer Funeral Home, and our St. Croix Hospice family for all the loving care they individually and collectively provided Glen. We were truly blessed to be surrounded by these loving and caring people!
Life celebration will take place spring 2025 (tba). Per families request, please no flowers.
Until then, safe journey littlest giant!
