HINNENDAEL, MICHAEL P.

Michael Patrick Hinnendael, 57, beloved husband of Cindi, passed from the arms of his loving family into the waiting arms of his Savior on Wednesday, April 21, 2010, while awaiting a liver transplant at The University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison. Mike fought a valiant battle against hepatitis C that he acquired from a blood transfusion while serving his country during the Vietnam War. Mike was a humble, gentle, conscientious man of highest integrity. He prized his family above all else and had passion for both playing the guitar and golf. He worked in Appleton as an engineering manager at Voith Paper for 34 years. He will be greatly missed. He is survived by his sons Joshua (Megan Endter) and Aaron (Susie), daughter Kathleen (Joshua) Spiegel, and grandchildren Zachary and Maxwell Spiegel. He is also survived by his mother, Gloria, and siblings Terry (Barb) Hinnendael, Sandra (Roger Hartley) Lumen, Becky (Dave) Verbeten, Molly Peralta, Heidi Hinnendael, and Matthew Hinnendael and sisters-in-law Donna (David) Nussbaum and Peggy (Gerald) Arnoldussen and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. He was preceded in death by his father, Edward Hinnendael. Funeral services for Mike will be at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 24, 2010, at WICHMANN FUNERAL HOME-TRI-COUNTY CHAPEL, 3212 S. Oneida Street, Menasha, with Mark and Pat Preissner officiating. Friends may call directly at the funeral home on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until the time of services.

Honey, the last 3 years were a struggle for us both, but I wouldn't have changed a thing. I love you and will miss you until we meet again. Love, Cindi.
Dad, I often hear how much like you I am. You've set the example that I have aspired to meet, and I thank you so much for that gift. Love, Josh
Dad, you're my hero, role model, and teacher. You're the greatest man I know, and I will live my life trying to emulate you. Love, Aaron
Dad, you were the first man to ever love me and the one man I will never forget. You were the best dad I could have ever asked for. Seeing you as a grandfather to my children was so amazing. I will never let them forget you. Love, Katie.
