Rehrauer, Donald J.
Donald J. Rehrauer, age 95, resident of Manitowoc, entered into eternal life on Sunday, August 19, 2012 at St. Mary's at Felician Village in Manitowoc.
Don was born on September 21, 1916 in Manitowoc, Wisconsin to the late Charles and Pauline Oziol Rehrauer. He graduated from Lincoln High School with the class of 1936. He excelled as a left handed pitcher for the Ships baseball team and was also captain of the Ship's basketball team. On September 7, 1938, Don married Dorothy M. Delsman in Manitowoc. Dorothy preceded him in death on April 19, 2004. He was employed at Manitowoc Shipbuilding for many years until his retirement in 1979. Over the years, Don enjoyed pheasant hunting with his dog Patty, fishing, making stained glass sun catchers, following the Brewers, Packers, and Badgers, and above all, he cherished the time he was able to spend with his family - especially his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Don was a member of St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Manitowoc and a former member of The Knights of Columbus.
Survivors include five daughters: Lou Anne (Wally) Grapentine and Sue Lemberger, all of Manitowoc; his twin daughters: Lee (Lou) Falligant, Stoughton; and Pat (Paul) Schwartz, Madison; and Connie (Steve) Selby, Janesville; 10 grandchildren: Cheryl Kuether, Mark Grapentine, Dawn Kisner, Dan Siehr, Katie and Kelsey Falligant, Matt and Samantha Schwartz, and Sara and Lauren Magrath; six great grandchildren: Travis and Scott Kuether, Amanda Herlache, Payton and Cole Siehr, and Cade Grapentine; also other relatives and friends. Don was preceded in death by his wife of 65 years, Dorothy; two sisters: Florence Vollmer and Judy Kolbeck; two brothers: Richard and Paul Rehrauer; and one son-in-law: Bob Lemberger.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, August 23, 2012 at St. Francis of Assisi on Waldo. The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated by Rev. Dave Pleier. Burial will follow at Evergreen Cemetery in Manitowoc. The family will greet relatives and friends at the Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home on Thursday morning from 9:30 a.m. until the time of the prayer service at 10:30 a.m. which will be followed by the procession to the church for the Mass of Christian Burial at 11 a.m. There will be no visitation at the church. Following the committal services at Evergreen Cemetery there will be a luncheon held at the Harrigan Parkside Gathering Center located on the south property of the funeral home.
The Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home and Crematory, N. 11th and St. Clair streets, Manitowoc is assisting the family with funeral arrangements.
Words cannot express our gratitude to all the caregivers of Felician Village that lovingly helped our dad during his last 2 ½ years. Your kindness will always be remembered. Also a very special thank you to Bill and Judy Jaeger for their spiritual friendship.
In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate memorials to either the Manitowoc Maritime Museum as Don was a welder on many of the submarines built in Manitowoc during World War II, or The Felician Village in Manitowoc.
