  • Notes 
    • Russell L. "Russ" Klimek, 91, Green Bay, went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, March 30, 2016, after suffering a massive heart attack. He was born on February 10, 1925, to Anna (Van Ess) and Harry Klimek.

      Russ was a WWII Navy veteran and was very proud of serving aboard the USS Cabot in the Pacific Theatre. After his military service he went to Badger Business College. Russ was then employed by International Harvester Credit Corp. for 35 years.

      He had many interests including spending time with family, golfing and bowling with friends, following the Cubs and Packers, and traveling. Russ was an avid reader. He always looked forward to deer season to be with his family and friends in Florence County.

      He will be remembered for his wonderful sense of humor and will be greatly missed by family and friends.

      Russ is survived by his wife, Marlis (Meise) Klimek. He was the light and love of her life. Russ is also survived by his son, Michael Klimek and daughter-in-law, Sandra; grandchildren, Michelle (Brad) Bukowiec, Kristin (Chris) Hodge; great-grandchildren, Maria and Alec Bukowiec, and Breann and Olivia Hodge; brother, David Klimek; sister-in-law, Amy Blanchard; brothers-in-law, Steve (Arlene) Meise, Don (Roxie) Meise, Kevin (Sandy) Meise, and Greg (Carol) Meise; nephews, Jerry (Theresa), Jim (Lynn), Jack, Rick (Pam), and Ron (Jude) Klimek; nieces, Judy (Ron) Kneiss and Janis DeVillers; great-nieces and great-nephews of whom he was very fond.

      He was preceded in death by his parents, Anna and Harry; three brothers, Al, Art, and Tom Klimek; and a sister, Mary Klimek.

      Friends may call at Blaney Funeral Home, 1521 Shawano Ave., from 4 to 7 p.m. Monday. The Funeral Service will be held at 7 p.m. Monday at the funeral home with Dcn. James Gauthier officiating.
