Obituary for Henry B. Miklaszewski
Miklaszewski, Henry B.
Born into Eternal Life on August 29, 2016 in DePere, WI, formerly of South Milwaukee. Beloved husband of Ruth (nee Braun) for 63 years. Loving father of Karen (Peter) Kaminsky, Laurie (Timothy) Sewall, Chris (Cheryl) Miklaszewski and Dawn (Sandy) McDonald. Proud and loving grandfather of Dr. Barton Mapes (Dr. Oriana Ly Mapes), Kathryn (Jeffrey Niehus) Kaminsky and Jeffrey Kaminsky, Taylor Miklaszewski, Kenton, Tate and Quinlan Barber. Great-grandfather of Ethan Henry Mapes, Joshua Lincoln Mapes and great-grandchild Mapes on-the way. Also survived by sisters Therese (Hilary) Chybowski, Christine Mikels, Evelyn Mikels and Marlene Griffith. Henry was preceded in death by his infant son, William John, his parents, Adam and Mary Miklaszewski, his brothers, Fr. Albin Miklaszewski, O.F.M., John (Theresa), Bernard (Helen), and his sisters Charlotte (Coleman) Varga, Antoinette (John) Blochowicz and S. Helen Miklaszewski, C.S.S.F.
Hank attended South Milwaukee Schools until choosing to serve his country in WWII as a member of the United States Navy. After active duty, he was a member of the Naval Reserve and began a 43 year career at Bucyrus-Erie. In retirement, he established a new home in DePere and worked in security at Austin Straubel Airport. He was a favorite of many Green Bay Packer players and coaches who passed by with a favorite joke or friendly greeting. Hank took pride in his home, his yard and his family.
Henry and Ruth enjoyed years of travel together. Their adventures took them to Hawaii, Alaska, Ireland, extensively throughout Europe but their favorite and most memorable trip was with Bishop Banks to Italy and the visit to the Vatican.
Member of St. Francis Xavier Parish, DePere, and lifetime member of Divine Mercy Parish (formerly St. Adalbert, South Milwaukee.) Visitation will be held on Saturday, September 3 from 9 a.m until 11 a.m. followed by the celebration of the Mass of Christian Burial at 11 a.m. at Divine Mercy Parish, 800 Marquette Ave., South Milwaukee. Interment to follow at Holy Sepulcher Cemetery.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff at the Jack and Engrid Meng Unity Hospice Residence.
