    • Arthur H. Borree, Kaukauna, age 86, died on Saturday September 11, 2004 at Colony Oaks Care Center. He was born in Town of Woodville to the late Louis and Bertha (Haase) Borree. Art was baptized on November 20, 1917 and was confirmed on May 15, 1932. He married the former Irene Johnson on June 29, 1946 at Trinity Lutheran Church. She survives. Art served in the U.S. Army during WWII, after landing and making preparations in Australia, he fought at Aitape in New Guinea. Later, he left for the Philippines and was in assault waves on Leyte and Luzon. Art was on the beach when General Douglas MacArthur landed. He was a Gun Commander on M-10 Tank Destroyers and was honorably discharged in 1945. He worked at Thilmany for 40 years and was a member of the Quarter Century Club. Art was a "Mr. Fixit" who was a simple, honest man and always put family first. He was very proud of the hunting cabin he built in Navarino and enjoyed many years of fishing and hunting.
      Art is survived by his wife of 58 years, Irene, five children: Dennis Borree, Ronald (Debbie special friend) Borree, Mary Borree, Nancy (John) Farrelly and their daughter, Colleen and Tim (Linda) Borree and their two children, Kayla and Shane. He will also be missed by his three brothers: Ray (Janet) Borree, Ralph Borree and Louis Borree, a sister: Millie (Bob) Bedford, two sisters-in-law: Sylvia Van Deraa and Jane Johnson.
      He was preceded in death by his parents, a brother-in-law Harvey, six brothers and one sister.
      Art's Memorial Service will be at 6 p.m. on Thursday September 16, 2004 at the BOETTCHER FAMILY FUNERAL HOME, 2401 Fieldcrest Drive, Kaukauna with Rev. Mark Luetzow officiating. Friends will be received at the Funeral Home on Thursday from 4 p.m. until the time of service. Full Military Burial Rites will be performed at the funeral home after the service.
