Michael A. Buerger

Michael Andrew Buerger, 79, of Lomira, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family, and joined Heaven's Garden on Friday, April 10, 2026.

Mike was born on June 9, 1946 to the late Silverius “Si” and Olive (Wondra) Buerger.

He graduated from St. Mary's Catholic grade school in Lomira and attended Lomira High School.

On July 8, 1967 he married Gladys (Beck) Buerger at St. Martin's Catholic Church in Ashford, and together they raised five children.

Mike farmed with his brother Dean for more than 35 years, as they took over the Buerger Family Farm from their dad. Mike enjoyed milking cows and said that was his time during the day to relax and reflect. The barn was always filled with polka music playing, as he said the cows milk better if you have the radio on. Only the cows know the truth.

After dairy farming, Mike lived an ambitious life and was happiest being outside and working on whatever job needed to be done. If it meant he got some dirt and grease on his hands, he believed that was "a good thing."

He spent countless hours working in the vegetable garden, and loved talking to and showing his grandson which green things were weeds and "digging them up."

Mike enjoyed helping others and expected nothing in return, because "that's what you do." He had a way of appreciating the small things, and found peace and contentment in life with his belief in "that's the way it is."

Wherever Mike was, he could be heard humming, singing, whistling, or talking to himself. His voice will be missed by all who knew him.

Those Mike leaves behind to cherish his memory include his four children, Michelle Buerger, Jason Buerger, JoEllen (Paul) Kolbe, Alaine (Patrick) Fliss; his grandchildren, Catherine Thomas, JoElaine Kolbe, Blaise Kolbe, Eloisia Kolbe.

He is further survived by brother and sisters, Mary Ann Betz, LuEllen Reimer, Donna Herman, Dean (Stephanie) Buerger; and sisters-in-law, Jean Buerger, Joan Buerger, Patricia Stucke, Jeanette (Stanley) Joas.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his wife of 52 years, Gladys Buerger; son, Blaine Buerger; three brothers, Conrad Buerger, Joseph Buerger, William Buerger.

He is further preceded in death by his father and mother-in-law, Aloysius and Erna (Karstaedt) Beck; brothers-in-law, Francis Herman, Walter Betz, Kenneth Reimer, Vincent Beck, Ralph Stucke, Walter Beck, Jerome Beck, Owen Beck; sisters-in-law, Audrey Buerger, Marguerite Beck, Ruth Beck, Lillian Beck, Margie Beck; and two nieces, Margaret Buerger and Christine Sitter.

A Mass of Christian Burial for Michael will be held on Friday, April 24, 2026 at 1:00 pm at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, 699 Milwaukee Street, Lomira. Rosary will begin at 12:30. Burial to follow Mass. After burial, the family will visit with relatives and friends while sharing food and memories of Michael in the St. Mary’s School Hall.

Robert "Bob" Joseph Poenitsch

Robert Joseph Poenitsch, 91, of West Bend, WI was called home to heaven on Friday, April 3, 2026.

Robert (Bob) was born on November 15, 1934, to Max and Katherine Poenitsch (née Fillafer). Bob was united in marriage to Joann Patricia Rohde on December 4, 1954. They started out living in Milwaukee but eventually settled on a small homestead in rural West Bend, where they raised their family and worked to make it their sanctuary.

Bob learned the art of Masonry as a young boy, working in his father’s business, Max Poenitsch and Sons Masonry of Brookfield, WI. Mastering the craft, he built a career as a Mason working for Commercial Construction companies and was a lifetime member of the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers. Like his father before him, Bob passed the tools, wisdom and skills of his craft along with the character traits of hard work, commitment and work ethic down to all three of his sons.

Bob developed a love for hunting and fishing after being introduced to both by his father-in-law, Henry Rohde—and he passed that love down to his sons and grandsons. He dismantled a small house in Milwaukee, moved and reassembled it as a cabin up north on the Menomonee River. It was there that Bob, Joann, and the family built and spent nearly every weekend together—making memories that would last a lifetime.

Bob was a devoted husband to Joann for 71 years, a loving father and proud grandfather. He had a big heart, a great smile, a sense of humor, and a pleasant manor. Those he leaves behind to cherish his memory include his wife, Joann; children; Robert Max (Sandy), Ricky Wayne (Lynn), Randy Michael (Judy); grandchildren; Justin (Laura), Jacob (Julie), Grant, Elliot, Emily, Andrew, Garrett, Jeremy (Rochelle), Emily (Philip), Jacob; and 5 great-grandchildren. He is further survived by his brother, Thomas (Marty), as well as nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends. In addition to his parents, Max and Katherine, Bob was preceded in death by his brothers, William and Donald, and an infant grandson, Gerod.

Bob’s family will greet relatives and friends on Friday, April 10, 2026, from 10 a.m. until 11 a.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church, 140 N 7th Ave, West Bend, WI 53095. A celebration of life service in remembrance of Bob will take place at 11:00 a.m. with Pastor Robb Kosky officiating.

Matt was a gamer in his personal life, starting from the first time he received a handheld device as a present. Eventually, he moved on to more complex gaming systems and regularly competed online with other players from around the country. In conjunction with video games, Matt owned a large collection of fantasy board games and enjoyed challenging his friends to a match. Matt was also an avid movie aficionado, often wanting to catch new releases on their opening day.

The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at the Froedtert Cancer Center, the Froedtert Center for Advanced Care, Horizon Home Care and Hospice, and The Kathy Hospice for their valiant efforts to find a cure for Matt, and later to carry him through to the end with kindness and dignity. No words can adequately express our gratitude.
