Brian Earnest Shafer
HARTFORD -Brian Shafer, 71, formerly of Hartford, went to be with his Savior, Jesus Christ, on Sunday, Nov. 25, 2007. A memorial service will be held at the Hartford Federated Church on Saturday, Dec. 1, at 11 a.m.
Brian was born Dec. 13, 1935, in Hartford. He was the first child of Clyde and Ruby (Pitcher) Shafer. His father taught him the carpentry trade and he helped build many homes in Southwestern Michigan. In 1965, he joined the Chicago District Council of Carpenters, Local 1, which allowed him to work on many large-scale projects such as the Cook Nuclear Plant, Domino Pizza Corporate Office, the Bloomingdale Building in Chicago, various Sears Tower projects, and the Chicago Fairmont Hotel, until his retirement in 1998.
He was also involved in many trade shows at Chicago's McCormick Place.
Brian loved watching NASCAR, Notre Dame football, This Old House, Outdoor Network and Discovery channels.
He was also a real wizard with crossword puzzles and word games.
His other passions included hunting, fishing, and spending time with his sons and grandchildren.
Brian desired that even after he was gone, his legacy would make a difference and the world could be a brighter place for future generations, so he donated his body to Science Care.
Brian is survived by three sons, Jeff (Pam) of Appleton, Wis., Brian Marc of Cadillac, Bob (Deanna) of Coloma; four grandchildren, Brett (Katherine) of Kaukauna, Wis., Jacob, Taylor, and Karsen of Coloma; and one great-granddaughter, Johannah of Kaukauna.
He is also survived by a brother, Clayton (Sandy) of Tucson, Ariz.; two sisters, Dorla (Lee) Weeden of Tulsa, Okla., and Avis (Dale) Hill of Hartford. He also has several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Clyde and Ruby (Pitcher); his brother, Phillip; and his former wife, Violet.
A memorial fund has been established in memory of Brian at "Brian Shafer Memorial Fund," 1243 E. Byrd St., Appleton, Wis., 54911. SHAFER
