The rose bent gently toward its warmth, then passed beyond to the other side. Now, you who deeply feel its loss, be comforted, the rose blooms there. Its beauty even greater now, nurtured by God's own loving care. Manitowoc Herald Times - June 11, 2002 pg. A3

GERALD NELSON Gerald “Jerry” Nelson, 92, lifelong Two Rivers resident, went to be with Jesus on Wednesday afternoon, December 21, 2016 at Atrium Post Acute Care of Two Rivers. He was born September 12, 1924 in Two Rivers to Otto and Elsie (Schultz) Nelson, the third of five children born in just five years. He attended St. John’s Lutheran Grade School and graduated from Washington High School with the class of 1942. Following graduation, he learned to be an electric welder and worked on submarines in Manitowoc. Jerry eagerly entered the US Army in May of 1943 and was always quietly proud of his service as a gunner in a M4-Sherman tank, across five countries in Europe, earning four campaign battle stars for his participation in the Battle of the Bulge, 40th Tank Battalion, 7th Armored Division. Following his honorable discharge from the military in 1946, he returned to Two Rivers and a few years later attended barber school under the GI Bill. In his later years, Jerry would share his war experiences in school classrooms, various speaking engagements and when acknowledged for his time in the service he’d say, “It was a small down payment of my youth for a lifetime of peace and prosperity.” On July 9, 1955, he married Dawn Burckle in Green Bay and they had two children, Jay and Susan. Jerry lived all of his life near the West Twin River and fished it for the better part of his life, mostly for northern pike, and always felt good when people asked, “Jerry, are the fish biting?” He always liked to say fishing is more than just a fish and he encouraged fathers to get their children’s first little fish mounted, attach it to a piece of driftwood and hang it on their bedroom walls forever. Many followed his advice. Jerry’s grandson’s first fish was a small 7-inch bullhead and he had it mounted. Many a conversation centered on fishing, family life and friendly advice at his Southside Barbershop over the 47 years in which he owned and operated it. In 1956, Jerry became secretary of the Two Rivers Central Trades Organization for several years and later became the last president of the Manitowoc County Barbers Union, which dissolved in 1963. He also joined the Two Rivers Fish and Game Club in 1952 and eventually became their secretary/treasurer for 37 years. Gerald also served as treasurer of the Manitowoc County Fish and Game Club for 18 years, earning a life membership award, enshrinement into the Manitowoc County Conservationist’s Hall of Fame and receiving the Guido Rahr diamond pin for his longtime service. Throughout the years, he also served on various committees at St. John’s Church, where he was a member for over 90 years; he also delivered Meals on Wheels. Jerry held longtime memberships in the Historical Society, Conservation Education, Inc., Lutheran Men’s Club, 26 years with the Kiwanis Club of Two Rivers and served as a water monitor on the West Twin River for Woodland Dunes. He also enjoyed watering the flowers on Washington Street, playing weekly sheepshead card games, volunteering at the local St. Vincent store and being a weekly reading buddy at the Koenig Elementary School in Two Rivers.

ROBERT PFEFFERKORN Robert "Popcorn" Pfefferkorn, age 90, passed away Monday, February 8, 2016 at Aurora Medical Center, Two Rivers. Popcorn, also known as Pa P-Korn, was born on June 18, 1925 to Arnold and Anna (Roethel) Pfefferkorn. His father passed away in 1929 leaving his mother Anna to care for him, younger sister Marion, and older brother Bill. Growing up on the farm wasn't easy, but they always managed with hard work and lots of love. It wasn't all work and no play. Popcorn did have his share of fun, like sneaking out and driving the tractor to Rosie Taylor's Wagon Wheel Tavern at the end of the road where all the action was. He was a 1943 graduate of Manitowoc Lincoln High School, served in the U.S. Army in 1946 thru 1947, and married his teen sweetheart Delores Herrmann on August 2, 1947. They had a beautiful outdoor ceremony at home and his new father-in-law Albert Herrmann provided the solo accordion entertainment. Through the years, he and Delores did a mean two-step and spent many nights out dancing 'til the cows came home. Actually, the cows were usually home first waiting for them. He also enjoyed many years of league bowling, deer hunting, fishing, and trap shooting at the Manitowoc Gun Club with many trophies to show for it. Realizing the family wasn't going to get rich milking 32 cows, he went to work at Manitowoc Equipment Works/Kelvinator for nearly 31 years and retired in 1987 with a surprise champagne limousine ride home on his last day. Shortly after he took up and thoroughly enjoyed golf. Popcorn was the ultimate puzzle master. On his routine schedule when he was still able to drive to his favorite hangouts, the Dugout or Gill's, he usually had some brainteaser puzzle in his pocket to drive other customers crazy. Of course, he always had solutions, even if he had to cheat…a little bit. He is survived by his daughter: Sue Westbrook, Rio; daughter-in-law: Dale Pfefferkorn, Houston, TX; two grandsons and six great-grandchildren: Dan (Khadija) Pfefferkorn and their children: Adam and Sarah Pfefferkorn, Larkspur, CO; Doug (Amanda) Pfefferkorn and their children: Max, Rebekah, Nathan, and Robert Pfefferkorn, Houston, TX; sister: Marion Hopf, Manitowoc; sister-in-law: Violet Pfefferkorn, Two Rivers, other relatives and friends also survive. He was preceded in death by his parents: Arnold and Anna Pfefferkorn; his wife and life/dance partner: Delores Pfefferkorn; son: Don Pfefferkorn; son-in-law: Gary Westbrook; brother: Bill Pfefferkorn; and brother-in-law: Jack Hopf.A visitation for friends and family will be held on Friday, February 12, 2016 from 2:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. at the Knollwood Mausoleum Chapel,.

Harley took great pride in his vehicles, and even after he could no longer drive he still took an interest in new cars and trucks on the lot. In his early 50’’s, he got his motorcycle license and would ride his Yamaha with his dog, Pepper, on the back. He enjoyed watching his sons play various sports, but his greatest joy was to watch “his” grandchildren at their sporting events. Harley is survived by his special friend and companion, Dorothy Haese of Reedsville; his three children: Peggy Prochnow (special friend Renee) of Brillion, and Paul (Bonnie) Prochnow of Algoma; grandchildren: Troy Prochnow (special friend Carlye Lettenberger) of Brillion, Charlie Prochnow (special friend Allie Hayes) of DePere, Katie Prochnow of Manitowoc and Zach Prochnow of Algoma; step-grandchildren: Chris Raymakers, Derek, Laura, and Troy Hendricks; siblings : Carlos “Bud” (Ruth) Prochnow of Reedsville, Gloria (Al) Vigil of Appleton, Marlene (Jerry) Liebergen of Fort Atkinson, and Terry (Karen) Prochnow of Reedsville; two brother-in-laws: Gene (Doris) Plate of Green Bay and Dale “Bud” Barnard of Reedsville; nieces, nephews; other relatives and many friends in both Wisconsin and Arizona. He was preceded in death by his loving wife of almost 40 years, Gerry, his parents, his mother-in-law Manila Sauter, his sister Pearl Plate, and his companion for many years, Mary Honomichl. According to Harley’s wishes, only a private family service was held. He was interned with his wife at Knollwood Mausoleum. The Prochnow family would like to thank the following for everything they have done to help Harley in the final weeks of his life: Reedsville First Responders, Valders Ambulance, Bellin Staff, Renness Rehab, Heartland Home Health Care and Hospice, Brillion West Haven, and the Reedsville Manor staff and residents.

JOSEPH G. PROPSON Joseph Propson, 96, of Kiel, died on September 8, 2018, at his residence. He was born March 17, 1922, in Stockbridge, son of John and Rose (Wettstein) Propson. On April 30, 1946, he married Bernice Buechel in Stockbridge, and together they had eight children. Joseph was known for his sense of humor and is remembered as a jokester. He was a kid at heart who usually had mischief in his eyes. As a father he continued his hijinks with his children and grandchildren. At a family gathering he grabbed one of the kid’s bikes and took off while the children chased him on foot. He cut through neighbors’ yards and went through ditches to get away. Eventually he returned to Bernice telling him to stop clowning around and get off that bike. He decided to take off again. On another occasion he took the kids sucker fishing under a bridge using sticks and cane poles to catch the fish. As a car drove over the bridge he got a bite and jerked the fish out of the water right onto the woman’s windshield. He went up and gave her money to get the car washed. In the winters, the whole neighborhood would grab their sleds and head to the Propsons’ house. The children would make a train down the hill where Joseph would meet them with his tractor and take them back up the hill. His jovial personality lasted to his final days - despite his health, he told his family he was going outside to cut grass the day before he passed. Joseph was very fond of the scenery and wildlife provided outdoors. As a kid he would use old soda boxes to make martin houses and put them on the windmills. His care for wildlife followed him to his family home where he had groups of deer that took turns eating in his yard. He would watch them out the windows while he sat on the couch enjoying an Old Style. Otherwise, he would watch out the door and comment on the cars and farm machinery that passed on the street. He loved the outdoors so much that he even enjoyed mowing his lawn. Joseph is survived by his children: Linda Forstner, Laura (Jim) Muehlbauer, Lucille (John) Boll, Leroy Propson, Leonard (Eileen) Propson, Mark (Darlene) Propson, Janet (Wayne) Bennin, and Kristi (Russell) Spindler; grandchildren: Dale (Melissa), Michael, Jennifer, Jill (Philip), Jeff (Kelly), Eric (Dawn), Joe (Amanda), Julie Marie (Eric), Briana, Heidi, Andy, Jodi, Lee, Brian, and Cheryl; great-grandchildren: Joshua (Kati), Brittany, Lucas, Kamilah, Denver, Autumn, Skylar, Adelina, Addison, Greyson, Mya, Jade, Willow, Jacob, Justin, Wyatt, Brooke, Rachel, Trevor, Kendra, Elizabeth, Brandon, Ali, Harmony, and Noah; a brother: Andrew; sisters: Rosemary Karls, Dolores Sell, Alice Sabel, and Dorothy Gerner; brothers-in-law: Leo Miller, and Alvin Propson; sisters-in-law: Viola Propson, Doris Propson, Donna Buechel, LaVerne Buechel, Christine (Allen) Halbach, and Veronica Heindrich. Joseph was preceded in death by his wife, Bernice; parents: John and Rose; mother and father-in-law, Clement and Margaret Buechel; daughter-in-law, Mary Propson; brothers: Leander Propson, Gregor (Rose) Propson, Ervin (Eleanor) Propson, John (Lydia) Propson, Art Propson, and Theodore Propson; sister: Isabella Miller; brothers-in-law: Cyril Karls, Harold Sell, Anthony Sabel, Robert Gerner, Bruno Buechel, Thomas (Eileen) Buechel, George Buechel, Benjamin Buechel, and Paul Heindrich; and sisters-in-law: Virginia Propson, Magdalene (Raymond) Joas, Albertine (Clarence) Kopf, Bernadette (George) Moehn, Monica (Earl) Halbach, and Eveline Propson.
