Harvey M. Beyer

Harvey “Bud” Beyer, age 94, passed away after a brief illness on October 22, 2019 at ThedaCare Medical Center in Appleton. He passed peacefully, surrounded by his family, and will be remembered as a loving father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.

Harvey was born July 2, 1925, near Shiocton, son of the late William and Mary (Kegel) Beyer. He was a graduate of Shiocton High School. Being quite the dancer, Harvey met the love of his life, Ethel Ulman, at Cinderella Ballroom. The couple married at Mount Olive Lutheran Church in Appleton on February 15, 1947, and remained faithful members for many years. They enjoyed over sixty-five years of married life together until Ethel’s death in 2012.

Harvey will be remembered as an extraordinarily gifted craftsman who had the rare talent to create masonry and woodworking masterpieces. For many years Harvey owned and operated Fox Cities Masonry. In addition, being a jack of all trades, if he didn’t have something he needed - he would just build it. He was also the proud builder of two custom homes for his family.

Harvey is survived by five loving daughters: Barbara Rohloff of Appleton; Bonnie Frost of Newport Coast, California; Brenda (Dan) Madden of New London; Beverly (Wayne) Eichhorn of Muskego, and Becky (Chuck) Otis of New London.
