Timothy "Tim" Wunderlich

Hortonville - Timothy Allen Wunderlich, age 72, of Hortonville, died Wednesday, January 10, 2018 at his home, after a long fight and many complications to his health stemming from a fall and head injury in 2009. He was born in Appleton on May 28, 1945 to the late Waldo and Mildred (Ulrich) Wunderlich. Tim graduated Hortonville High School and proudly served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War where he was stationed in Germany. On September 21, 1968 he married Donna Reiland. Tim worked at Hennes Construction, farmed with his parents on their farm and then was employed with the Appleton School District.

Tim enjoyed hunting, fishing and spending his time volunteering at the Outagamie Conservation Club. His distinct laugh was infectious to all who knew him.

Tim will be dearly missed by his wife, Donna; his children, Cory Wunderlich, Stacy (Dave) Ebben and Sarah (Lucas) Peeters; his grandchildren, Ethan and Taylor Ebben, Mason, Owen, Megan and Evan Peeters, and Chase and Onnie Wunderlich; brothers, Tom Wunderlich and Bill (Sally) Wunderlich; his mother-in-law, Lola Reiland; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Randy Reiland, James Reiland, Jerry Reiland, Kenny Reiland, Ann (Cyril) Schmidt and Lori Henning. Tim is further survived by many nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.

In addition to his parents, Tim was preceded in death by his father-in-law, Myron Reiland; God-child, Jamie Reiland; brothers-in-law, Dave Henning and Richard Reiland.

The Funeral Liturgy will be held on Monday, January 15, 2018, at 5:00 p.m. at St. Edward Catholic Parish, Highway 47 N. Mackville Road in Mackville. Visitation will be held Monday at church starting at 3:00 p.m. until the time of the funeral service with Deacon Jeff Hofacker officiating. Military honors will follow the funeral service.

Dear Donna and family,

Tim was very special. First he was half of the Tim and Tom duo - identical twins - that was really something! Growing up I could not tell them apart.
I remember my Dad driving me and my family out to the farm to visit. During my visit, Tim and Tom (and I think Billy too) would climb the trees in the front yard and sit up there - totally out of reach. Because I came from an all girl family (6 girls), boys were always a mystery - a problem these cousins reinforced. One time I heard Milly say she had gotten the boys Noxema. I thought that was very interesting. I didn't know boys were into skin care.
I remember Tim and Donna's beautiful wedding. Wow! The white church was full to overflowing; the weather was perfect; Donna was the most beautiful bride ever; and Tim a very handsome groom. Very special.
Then there was that incredible laugh. I can hear it now. Who can forget it? I always thought Tim was a happy guy.
So very sorry Tim's last years were a struggle. Heartbreaking.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love
Cousin Sue

It was a pure pleasure to work with Tim after knowing him for years. He kept his sense of humor hidden, but it was always intact! To Donna: Things will get better now, may he rest in peace. It only leaves me with this passing thought........
RUN FOREST RUN!
God bless you all.

I am so sorry to hear of my Cuzin Tim's passing. I had always hoped he would take me up on my offer to visit in San Diego. That offer is open to all my Wunderlich family in Wisconsin, once family, always family. I can hear his infectious laugh in my memories. God Bless you in this difficult time.
Love, Diane Wunderlich-Sipe

Dear Donna and family,

Tim was always special. First he was half of the Tim and Tom duo. Identical twins - that was something. Growing up I couldn't tell them apart. I remember Dad taking us girls out to the farm to visit and the twins (and I think Bill too) would climb the trees in the front yard and sit up there so I couldn't get too close. I came from a family of all girls (6 total) so boys were a mystery which these cousins reinforced.
One time I heard Milly say that she got the boys Noxema for their skin. I thought that was interesting. Didnt know boys were into skin care.
Also remember Tim and Donna's wedding. It was so beautiful. Church was filled to overflowing; weather was perfect and Donna was the most beautiful bride ever.
Then there was that laugh. Who could forget that? I think Tim was a happy guy.
Heartbreaking that Tim is gone. He was very special.

Dear Wunderlich Family,

I didn't know Tim at all, but I work with Stacy and she shared some very good memories of her Dad. He must have been very special to you all. May the Lord give you time and peace to heal your hearts.

You all have my deepest sympathy.

Dear Donna and family,
Please accept my sympathy and love. Tim was the first (or second?) of my Wunderlich cousins and I am sorry I did not visit during these last difficult years. I will remember him fondly, as I do his Mom and Dad.
