James J. Linskens

Jim Linskens, 93, passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 18, 2023. He was born on March 13, 1930, in De Pere to the late Joseph and Rita Linskens. Jim served in the army during the Korean War. His time in the service brought him to both Germany and Rome where he saw the Pope. He retired from Schneider Transport after 40 years of service.
Jim was dedicated to his family who were so important to him. He loved a good game of cards and would play 24/7 if he could find the players. Hunting camp with Jimbo and the guys was never a dull moment. He enjoyed his family trips to Boulder Lake, numerous hunting excursions, traveling to California, and the Colorado River. He also enjoyed volleyball and booyah cookouts. He had a passion for walking in the mall, around De Pere, even petting a deer on one of his walks.
Survivors include his seven children, Dan (Sherry) Linskens, Karen (John) Erickson, Jeanne (Randy) Russell, Judy (Mike) Treml, David Linskens (Karla), Dale (Carol) Linskens, Shari Linskens, 10 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, and brothers Bob, Jack, and Bill.
Karen retired but made taking care of Dad one of her priorities and Judy as well when she retired. Our family cannot thank you both enough for your selfless devotion to our Dad. Thank you to special caregiver Laura Peters, AKA: The Babysitter, you made our Dad smile every day. Our family will be forever grateful for your kindness, care, and compassion that you gave to him.
A service will be held at Pfotenhauer Funeral Home, 2379 E. Mason Street, Green Bay on Wednesday, May 24, 2023, with visitation from 3:00pm to 5:15pm, immediately following will be a short service and Military Honors.
