Norman J. Baus, age 78, of Rubicon passed away Thursday, November 8, 2012 at his residence, surrounded by his family.
He was born June 4, 1934 in Wahpeton, North Dakota, to Roman and Frances (nee Vollrath) Baus. Norman was united in marriage to Josephine Schmitt on May 5, 1956 at St. John's Catholic Church in Rubicon.
Norman grew up in the family meat cutting business and had a variety of jobs as a teenager. He was a member of the National Guard. Norman retired from Lee Precision of Hartford after 45 years of service.
Norman was always there to lend a helping hand to family and friends - using his backhoe, chainsaw, tire changer or other tools. He was a volunteer member of the Woodland Fire Department, serving as chief from 1967-1985. He was a member of the Wisconsin Fire Chiefs Association and St. John's Catholic Church. Norman's hobbies included trap shooting, playing cards, and riding his Gold Wing Motorcycle with Josephine right behind him. He was always happy to let everyone know how many miles they put on in a day.
