Earl G. Asman

Age, 87 died unexpectedly on June 29, 2003 at his home. He was born October 8, 1915 in Appleton, son of the late August and Gertrude (Wolf) Asman. He was a 1934 graduate of Appleton Senior High School. Earl married Margaret Deno on April 29, 1937 and was employed as a machinist by Valmet (formerly Appleton Machine Company) for forty-three years. He was an Army Air Corp Veteran of World War II with the 3702nd Army Air Forces Base Unit at Buckley Field, Colorado. Earl was a resident of Kaukauna since 1947. He was a God-fearing, loving and faithful husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Earl loved people, and always had a warm smile for family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and especially children whenever he met them. He was a very talented and patient man and was always ready with a joke or story of the "old days". He was always willing to help fix anything. He was so proud and happy to be able to attend his last grandchild’s graduation ceremony on June 5, 2003 at Appleton West High School. Earl was a wonderful example for all of us and he will be missed by the countless people that he touched.
