Marvin “Woody” H. Wittman, 90, crossed over on Saturday, April 11, 2020.  He was born on February 7, 1930, to the late Ted and Ceil (Hoffman) Wittman in Kaukauna.  Woody graduated from Kaukauna High School in 1949.  He was drafted into the United States Army in 1951, was deployed to the front lines in Korea and was honorably discharged in 1953.

Woody enjoyed fishing and golfing. He was a member at Oakwood Hills for many years and joined the Thilmany and Zoo golf leagues. Woody loved tending to his vegetable and flower gardens. He would share tips, tomatoes, and took joy in showing his gardens to anyone who drove by or wanted to see. Woody enjoyed woodworking and showing his basement carving museum which consisted of animals, people, wagons, a cabin, tug and barge, train, and ships. He liked morning coffee with the guys and dining out with his wife. Woody was known for his sense of humor and liked to tease, talk, and tell stories.
