(Donnie, Donnie, Donnie) (Uncle Butchie)
Donnie passed away on Friday, April 5, 2013, at AMC Hospital in Appleton, WI following a short but courageous battle with cancer. He died peacefully surrounded by his loving family and friends.
Donnie was born July 23, 1937, in the city of Appleton to Louis and Velma (Lemke) Buman. He was baptized at Trinity Lutheran Church, Township of Ellington. Confirmed at Immanuel Lutheran Church of Greenville, WI where he continued to follow the word of Christ the remainder of his life. He will be laid to rest at the Immanuel Cemetery.
Donnie graduated from Hortonville High School and joined the National Guard, soon after, serving with them until 1963. At this point he returned to the family home farm in Greenville where he farmed until his retirement. Donnie also managed the Greenville Feed Mill for many years and served on their board of directors. Upon his retirement Donnie worked for his very close friends at County View Dairy, Greenville, where he continued his love of farming for the remainder of his days. Donnie was also a member of the Greenville Volunteer Fire Department and Greenville Civic Club for many years.

The family would like to express their love and gratitude to a very special family, Donnie's neighbors Scott, Shany and Tanner Marks. Without your welcoming and warm hospitality along with your continued support and friendship over the years "Donnie" may have become lost on the city side of Greenville.
The family would also like to thank the Dr's and Nurses of the Martha Seikman Cancer Center, AMC Oncology Department and AMC Hospital for their outstanding care while Donnie was a patient. A special thank you to Dr. Mortara and Patti Martin APNP for their loving and personal care that often went above our expectations. To Donnie you will always be his "Sweeties."
Thank you to all of Donnie's close friends and family that extended their time and love to help care for and shuttle Donnie to many appointments, or for stopping by for a visit. Your help was greatly appreciated and will never be forgotten.
A funeral service for Donnie will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, April 10, 2013, at Immanuel Lutheran Church, W7265 School Rd., Greenville, with Pastor D. Scharf officiating. Family and friends may visit directly at church Tuesday evening from 4:00 until 8:00 p.m. and again at church Wednesday morning from 9:00 a.m. until the time of service.
