Orion J. "Poogie" Reynebeau

Kimberly - Orion "Poogie" Reynebeau, age 85, passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 18th at St. Paul Home in Kaukauna with his loving family by his side. He was born in Little Chute, on March 18, 1933, son of the late Mathew and Louise (Marx) Reynebeau. Poogie graduated from St John High School, Little Chute in 1952. On August 30, 1958 he married the love of his life, Lois "Butch" Busch, at Holy Angels Church in Darboy. Together they raised four children in Kimberly before buying a home on White Potato Lake. They shared 29 years on the lake before moving back to the Fox Valley when his health started failing.

He was a veteran, having served in the U.S. Army and was a lifelong member of Legion Post 258. Poogie worked at Midtec for 33 years before retiring due to disability.

Prior to living on White Potato Lake he enjoyed camping with his family at Evergreen Campsites. He liked getting together, at least annually, with his Skulls "gang" from Little Chute since their high school days. He enjoyed being "north of highway 64" and being with family and friends. He was a huge Green Bay Packers fan and Vince Lombardi was his hero! Poogie's true passions were woodworking and making everyone around him smile with his singing.

Poogie is survived by his loving wife, Lois "Butch", his children and their families:

Penny (Dave) Hoh, Darboy, and their children, Matthew (Laura) and their children, Audrey, Kathryn and Lily; Bradley (special friend Claire); and Mitchell (Chelsea).

Daniel (Mary) Reynebeau, Green Bay, and their children, Danielle (Sean) Morgan; Christine (special friend Ben); and Jack.

James (Kim) Reynebeau, Green Bay, and their children, Kylie (Chris) Van Hefty and their child, Brynley; Nicholas (special friend Allison); and Benjamin.

Amy Reynebeau (special friend Dan), Kimberly, and her children, Tyler Spietz (special friend Abbi); and Bryanna Spietz.
