Hugo M. Lamers

Age 98, passed away Monday, April 14, 2003 at his home. Hugo was born January 31, 1905 in Wrightstown, son of the late John and Mary (Sprangers) Lamers. He attended elementary school in Wrightstown, and later in preparation for his work with the Kaukauna Utility, took courses at the technical college. On September 13, 1933 he married the former Genevieve Meier at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Appleton; she preceded him in death on August 20, 1993. Hugo worked for the Kaukauna Utility for over forty years as a power plant operator. In 1956, he was transferred to the Rapide Croche Power Plant where he worked until his retirement in 1970. Many will remember Hook as a worthy cribbage opponent!
