Philip "Flip" Priesgen age 62, of Hartford WI, passed away on Sunday, May 5th, 2024, at Aurora Grafton Medical Center, surrounded by his family.
He was born on February 7th, 1962, in Hartford, WI, to his parents John and Janice (nee Hermann) Priesgen.
Phil was a devoted father, friend, and family member. He was a machine operator at Reindl Bindery for many years, nicknamed "Cutter". He was an avid and competitive sports enthusiast. He played softball for many years, volleyball, and participated in bowling leagues with his name frequently ending up in the weekly top scores. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and playing (winning) all sorts of cards games. Not only was he an amazing cook but he was also a big foodie. His constant sense of humor and wit kept everyone laughing until the very end.
Phil is survived by his daughters, Danielle (Tony) Priesgen, and Dawn Priesgen; mother, Janice Priesgen; sister, Ruthanne (Mike) Alolor. He is preceded in death by his father, John; and brother John Priesgen Jr.
