Joe Wiedemann Obituary

Joe "Joseph" A. Wiedemann

Sheboygan - Well this is it, my final trip… hopefully they have model cars and trains where I am going. I, Joe (Joseph) A. Wiedemann, age 76, have died on May 24, 2018. I guess it was my time.

I attended St. Dominics and Pigeon River schools and graduated from Sheboygan North High School. On October 5, 1968 I was united in marriage with Janet (Gescheidle) and after her passing I married Theresa Weisfeld-Smith on May 29, 1981. During my working years I was employed by the Vollrath Company as a Machinist/Forklift Operator for 42 years. In my free time, I enjoyed collecting and building model cars and camping.

I am survived by my wife, Theresa; daughter, Dawn Zoerner; grandchildren, Samantha, Mikie, Amber, Megan, Drew and Nicholas; great-grandchild, Brayden; daughter-in-law, Bonnie Wiedemann; sister, Teresa Lorens and other extended family. I was preceded in death by my first wife, Janet (Gescheidle); parents, Albert and Helen Wiedemann; son, Douglas; brother, Danny; brother-in-law, Keith and nephew Jeff.

Please do not mourn me, instead laugh about the life I lived and remember the joy I had. Laugh about the jokes I made. "Laughter is the way to survival in this world, if you can't find something to laugh about you'll never make it." Until we meet again…

-JAW
