Clifford M. “Bronson” Doering, age 72, of Kaukauna, passed away on November 19, 2021 at home, with his loving wife Sheri and his family at his side. Cliff was born on May 5, 1949 in Appleton, to the late Marvin and Lorraine (Olive) Doering. He was a 1967 graduate of Kaukauna High School and continued his education at the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh for two years. After he completed his education he worked with the City of Kaukauna Parks Department. Cliff loved his job and was there for 30 years until his retirement.

On September 23, 1972 he married his first love, the former Mary Van Wychen at St. Mary Catholic Church and she preceded him in death on March 16, 2003. He always loved to share his boat by taking family and friends on Lake Michigan fishing for Salmon.

On September 7, 2007 he married his second wife Sharon “Sheri” Doering. When he and Sheri were dating, he enjoyed taking her out fishing too. She never could touch the worm, but she was still able to catch a 21” salmon with Cliff’s guidance.

Cliff loved fishing on Lake Michigan and hunting and was also an avid Packers and Badgers fan. He also loved to travel with family, and was a regular at Trish’s Pop Inn Again on Tuesday mornings, playing cribbage with his buddies.

Sheri and Cliff loved to travel with their special friends, Ricky and Ron Kelly who they shared a time share with. They also spent many winters in Florida.
