- Green Bay - Ronald "Pete" J. Williamsen, of Green Bay, passed away peacefully at home, Tuesday, December 26, 2017, after a 16 year struggle with Parkinson's disease. Born May 24, 1936, in Green Bay, he is the son of Stephen and Genevieve (DeCoster) Williamsen. Fifty-nine years ago on August 30, 1958, Ron married Joanne L. Fink at St. Boniface Catholic Church, Manitowoc.
Ron "Pete" worked for SuperValu warehouse as a fork life driver and retired after 40 years of service . Ron's idea of fun in the fall was to go duck hunting with his buddies, Dan and Gary. That passion grew as his sons, Chuck and Brian joined him in the marshes around Green Bay and now by his grandsons as well. Ron also loved to spend time on the Bay in the summer racing sailboats at the Windjammers with Dan. Christine and Beth were always eager to crew.
Trailering the Aquarius with Joanne and the four kids up to Little Current, Ontario, in the North Channel, for an extended week of sailing with the Baldwins was his idea of heaven on earth. Ron was a wonderful husband, loving father, loyal friend and all around good guy. He leaves behind many happy memories that will help to fill the hole in our hearts that his parting leaves behind.
Ron is survived by his wife, Joanne; four children, Christine (David) Beard, Charles "Chuck" (Kerry) Williamsen, Beth Ann (Martin) Schingen and Brian (Lisa) Williamsen; four grandsons, Joshua Schingen, Benjamin Schingen, Aaron (Alex) Flietner and Dylan Williamsen; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Stephen and Genevieve Williamsen; and brother, Richard Williamsen.
