John M. Van Nuland

John M. Van Nuland, age 73, ended his battle with cancer peacefully with his family and loved ones surrounding on the morning of Monday, May 05, 2014. He was born August 15, 1940 in Kimberly, Wisconsin, the son of Jacob and Rosalie (Richards) Van Nuland. John worked 37 years at Holy Name Parish as the Maintenance Supervisor and a darn good one.

He was a man with many talents he knew how to fix and build basically anything. John spent many hours helping others with building projects and countless hours in his basement woodworking. He enjoyed watching TV, having drinks on his deck with family, friends and his best furry friend Charlie. John enjoyed many summers up north on the water and sitting around the campfire. During the winter it was all about family snowmobiling. Traveling was a very big part of John's life and he felt there was nothing
better than sitting by the pool or the beach having a drink and people watching. Can't forget where you would find John on Friday night at 4:00 P.M. front row parking spot in front of Heiting, with his barstool waiting, enjoying a Friday night fish fry with his
friends.

He is survived by his girlfriend: Nancy Wood; daughter Kim (Randy) Anderson;son: Roger (Theresa) Van Nuland; daughter: Lisa (Edward) Porter; grandchildren: Keri (Chris) Bauer, Dannielle (Ryan) Hietpas, Cody Van Vonderen, Dylan Van Vonderen(Alyssa Janssen), Ali Van Vonderen (Zach Vanevenhoven), Alex Anderson, Sara (Eric)Fenwick, Jennifer (Thomas) Conley, Nicole Winter (Shane Swille), Tyler Van Nuland, Liz Winter, Josh Ulrichsen, Jake Porter; great grandchildren: Mason, Alicia, Alec, Erica, Levi, Raelle, Macy.
