Dan Glaser Obituary
Fremont - Dan Glaser, age 70, of Fremont, passed away Saturday, January 6, 2018 at ThedaCare Medical Center, Appleton, following a heart attack he sustained on December 30. Dan was born on December 6, 1947, in Appleton, the son of the late Dwain "Doc" and Ethel Glaser. On June 20, 1980, Dan married his soulmate and best friend, Ruth Conradt. They made their home on the beautiful Wolf River in Fremont where together they enjoyed the daily activity of God's beauty in the birds, wildlife, fishing, sunrises and sunsets. Dan loved his country and served in the US Air Force as S.F.C during Vietnam from 1967-1971. He was employed at Miller Electric for over 25 years before retiring. Following retirement, Dan was an admired substitute teacher for the Weyauwega-Fremont School District; he worked at EAA, and was a Hunter Safety Instructor. Dan was an avid sportsman and enjoyed deer, elk, moose and turkey hunting, as well as fishing. His greatest love was the hunt for the big musky. He enjoyed endless hours fishing the Turtle Flambeau Flowage, with his favorite fishing partner, Ruth, and ending the day at the beautiful French Lake Resort, watching the sunsets. Dan was a member of the C&R Musky Club, and the World Musky Hunt in Lake Tomahawk where he served on the Board of Directors. Dan had many great friends and family that made his life complete. We will miss all his great stories and sense of humor. Dan is survived by his wife, Ruth; his sister, Julie(Bruce)Riehl, Woodruff; his brother, Paul "Jake" Glaser, Pearl River, LA; four brothers-in-law, Ronald Conradt, FL; Terry(Joanie)Conradt, Shiocton; Jerome(Cindy)Conradt, Shiocton, and Rob deVos, CA; two sisters-in-law, Sandy Conradt, Shiocton; and Carol Conradt, Appleton; a niece, Claire Huelsbeck(Josh Weber); 6 nephews, Aaron, Jordan, Austin, Travis(Nicole), Matthew(Nikki), and godchild, Craig Conradt; great-nieces and nephews; aunt, Lois Hameister, Appleton; uncle, Dave Plank, Appleton. He is also survived by first cousins, Tom(Mary)Plank (who was like a brother to him) and Amy(Don)Schneekloth, other relatives and many friends. Dan was preceded in death by his sister, June deVos, and two brothers-in-law, Roger and Henry "Hank" Conradt. Visitation will be held Friday, January 12, 2018 at the Lewin Funeral Home from 3-7 PM, followed by a short prayer service at 7PM. In lieu of flowers, memorials in Dan's name may be given to the American Heart Association.

No words can express the sadness I have in my heart for you right now! I will always remember his smile and how it could light up a room. Not to mention the way you would light up and laugh when he was around. As hard as it I to believe he is gone, believe he will always be there for you when you call out his name, believing isn't always seeing.

Words cannot express how sorry we are. Dan was a great man with many interests. We will definitely miss seeing him sitting on the patio having a cocktail with Ruth while the sun is setting and dinner is on the grill. We loved hearing his stories and will greatly miss his friendship.
