Wilfred A. Holzinger, Sr., 81, of Highland, IL, died Wednesday, October 16, 2019, at his residence with his family by his side.
Wilfred was born on March 16, 1938, in Pierron, IL, to Albert and Frieda (nee Baumgartner) Holzinger. On April 27, 1963, he married Jean Susanne (Sue) Young in Coffeen, IL.
He graduated from St. Jacob High School in 1956, and from 1956-1960, he served in the Navy on the Franklin D. Roosevelt aircraft carrier and was stationed in Pensacola, FL.
