James "Jim" W. Crowley Jr, PH.D., age 71 of Madison, WI, passed away on February 17, 2022 at Agrace Hospice. He was born on July 11, 1950 in Madison, WI, son of James Sr. and Katharine (Sumner). He married Diann (Rehwinkel) Schuette on November 1, 1991 in Las Vegas, NV.
Jim grew up on the near west side attending Randall Elementary, West High School and then graduating in 1978 from the University of Wisconsin Madison with a PH.D in Veterinary Sciences. He taught at the UW for one year before moving to the private sector as a technical consultant working with feed companies including Continental Grain Wayne Feeds Division, Cargill, Hubbard Feeds and Big Gain.
Jim was a member of AGR fraternity. He also served as World Dairy Expo Dairy Superintendent since 2011 and Brown Swiss Superintendent from 1981-2011. He was regarded as one of the top WDE historians, maybe because of his amazing memory or maybe due to his late-night manure shoveling there as a young man at the request of his father who was the Dairy Cattle Superintendent. Jim was also an active member of WALSAA for most of his life. The fire ups were a great success due to his involvement.
In addition to Diann, the great love of this life was Lake Waubesa where his Dad Doc Jim built a cottage with Jim, friends from the Ag graduate school. If you couldn't find him at the cottage, your next best bet would have been Camp Madison in Port Wing, WI, his "Garden of Eden" where he went on Father's Day weekend each year. In more recent years he faithfully attended the Testicle Festival. You read that right.
Jim is survived by his wife Diann, his stepchildren Derek (Kim) Schuette and Danita (Gary) Lehnherr. Grandkids Thomas & Katherine Schuette, Carson & Rowan Lehnherr. His sister-in-law Linda Crowley. Niece Elissa (Kristopher) Koroch and his nephew Lucas Crowley. Many cousins and friends in Kentucky, Wisconsin and beyond.
He was preceded in death by his parents, brother Rick and grandson Cole Lehnherr.
Private burial at at Forest Hill Cemetery.
