He was a member of the Appleton Knights of Columbus no. 607 and the Neenah Foundry Quarter Century Club. He was an avid wood carver and a post member of the Wisconsin Chippers. He enjoyed traveling, boating, reading, and most of all his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Survivors include his wife, Julia; a son and daughter-in-law, Dennis and Ruth Fuerst, Zanesville, Ohio; two brothers and sisters-in-law; Robert and Lorraine Fuerst, Appleton; and Carlton and Jan Fuerst, Racine; five grandsons: Greg and Jane Fuerst; Denny and Mi Jeong; Matt, Jeff, and Douglas; four great-grandchildren: Jessica, D.J., Lauren, and Brett; two aunts: Lydia Schramm, Sheboygan; and Ella Pirner, Milwaukee; many nieces and nephews.
