Joseph Schneider Obituary

Joseph L. Schneider, Kaukauna, age 50, passed away on February 6, 2012 at home with his family by his side, following a 2 year battle with brain cancer (Glioblastoma). He was born November 24, 1961 in Milwaukee, WI to Janice Schneider (Wollersheim) and the late Cyril Schneider. On January 29, 2000 he was married to Mary T. Schneider (Boehnlein) and they recently celebrated their 12 year anniversary. Joe graduated from Kaukauna High School in 1980. He later attended FVTC. He was proud to be part owner of Stockbridge Engineering along with his mother, brothers, and sister where he enjoyed working along side all the employees. Joe had 2 holidays that he enjoyed, the 4th of July, where he put on a wonderful display of fireworks to the delight of the neighbors and dismay of the local police. He also enjoyed Christmas, where the house and yard were decorated in festive colors. Joe was best known for his Christmas tree which had on over 1,000 lights. He also spent countless hours helping his brother Jerry decorate his yard. Joe recently celebrated his 50th birthday with his twin brother Jerry with a party at Lambeau Field with family and friends.

Joe is survived by his wife, Mary, his son, Christopher Boehnlein, his mother, Janice Schneider, twin brother, Jerry (Cheryl) and their children: Brad (Amy) Wogikoski and their children, Carson and Kaden, Sandra Hanby, Cami and Cyra Schneider, Brother, Jeffrey (Cathy), and Riley, a sister, Jill (Rick) Russo and their children: Sam and Raechel; his uncle Cletus (Rita) Schneider, aunt Mildred (Marvin) Thielman, aunt Sandra (Bob) Bowe, uncle Lawrence (Susan) Wollersheim, uncle Dale (Donna) Wollersheim, uncles: Greg Sukowaty, Jim Schafhauser, Eldon Watry, and Donald Schneider. He is also survived by brothers-in-law: Joseph Boehnlein (John Lauber), and Peter (Joanne) Boehnlein; nephews: Ben, Tim, Dan, and Andy; very special friends: Mark and Patti Lorge, Art and Shirley Rief and Lynne and Steve Kreuger.

He was preceded in death by his father, Cyril on August 23, 2004, sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Richard (Cindy) Boehnlein, 4 aunts: Lucille, Imelda, Priscilla, and Beatrice; and a cousin, Virginia.

The Mass of Christian Burial will be 11 a.m. on Saturday, February 11, 2012 at ST. KATHARINE DREXEL PARISH at ST. ALOYSIUS CHURCH, 2401 Main Av, Kaukauna with Fr. Jerry Pastors officiating.
