Rogers, Clifford "Skeeter"

Clifford "Skeeter" Rogers, 78, Kaukauna, passed away in the early morning of Saturday, March 28, 2015 at his home. He was born on February 13, 1937, son of the late Clifford A. and Dorthea (Koehn) Rogers. Skeeter lived in Kaukauna all of his life. After graduating high school he attended UW-Oshkosh, where he met his loving wife of almost 58 years, Shirley Bresler. They were married in Oshkosh on May 9, 1958. Together they raised five children.

Skeeter worked at Thilmany for 42 years and was able to enjoy 16 years of retirement He was well known for his sense of humor. When he could no longer get in and out of a boat, he gave up fishing, something he and his brothers enjoyed doing at the family cottage on Lake Poygan. He spent many vacations with his family at cottages and lakes up north. He also enjoyed golfing, bowling, watching the Badgers, playing cards, especially sheepshead and cribbage and was an avid reader. In his later years, he enjoyed relaxing on the patio while watching the birds, turkeys, deer and other wildlife.

Skeeter is survived by his wife, Shirley; five children, Ron (DeAnna) Rogers of Kaukauna, WI, Rick (Kathi) Rogers of Plymouth, MN, Robyn (Matt) Jackson of Valrico, FL, Holly (Kevin) Williams of Portage, WI and Sandra (Kevan) Kokkonen of Shiocton, WI; 15 grandchildren, Stephen, Paul, Kristy, Elizabeth, Breanna, Austin, Halie, Madison, Skeeter, Andie, Caitlin, Michaela, Barbara, Victoria and Kyle; 8 great grandchildren, Amanda, Ethan, Sabestian, Sierra, DeAndre, Xavier, Travon and Nayoni; a brother, John (Gina) Rogers; as well as many other nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his brother, Dr. Rev. Michael (Rogene) Rogers.

Per Skeeter's wishes, there will be no funeral services held. He enjoyed socializing along with music and a few beers, and would like for family and friends to do the same and have one (or two) in honor and remembrance of him. To sign the guestbook, please visit oconnellfh.com.
