Joseph O. Sarbacker, age 86, died on Aug. 2, 2011, at HospiceCare Inc. in Fitchburg.

Joe was born March 4, 1925, to Edward and Henrietta (Duschak) Sarbacker. He attended Blessed Sacrament School, and later graduated from Belleville High School in 1944 and UW-Madison Farm and Industry Short Course in 1949. Joe married Esther (Davis) on Nov. 3, 1949. For six decades Joe and Esther farmed in Montrose Township, Dane County. He was frequently recognized for his contributions, service and achievements by local and national agricultural organizations too numerous to mention. After founding Fischerdale Farms Joe expressed his passion for the dairy industry by establishing an outstanding registered Holstein herd.

Joe was a brilliant, humble, honest man who taught by example using his sense of humor and his hard work ethic. He enjoyed wood working, hunting and fishing, however, his greatest love and joy was his family. Being part of their lives and having them around him was a source of great happiness throughout his life.
He is survived by his wife, Esther of 61 years; and 11 children, James (Kathy) of Middleton, JoAnn Lien of Belleville, Robert of Belleville, William (Heidi) of Dodgeville, Thomas (Vicki) of Verona, Julie (Ed) Francois of Belleville, Janet (Brian) Hebl of Appleton, John (Shelly) of Verona, Jane Sarbacker of Belleville, Timothy of Mineral Point, and David (Candice) of Edgerton. He is also survived by 40 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren; two sisters, Mary Drunasky of Verona, and Barbara (Les) Palmer of Belleville; sister-in-law, Ruth Davis; and brother-in-law, Robert (Doris) Davis both of Verona.

Visitation will be held Sunday, Aug. 7, 2011, from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. at the BECKER BEAL FUNERAL HOME, 109 Greenway Cross, Belleville, and also on Monday, Aug. 8, 2011, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at ST. WILLIAMS CHURCH in Paoli, 1371 County Road PB, Belleville.

Our family would like to acknowledge the incredible team of caregivers which have provided Joe the most loving personal care imaginable during some of his most challenging days, and for the unending support given our entire family as well. With deepest gratitude we acknowledge, our many friends and neighbors, Fr. Ken Klink, the crew at Associated Physicians, the staff of Meriter Home Health, Hospice Care home care, Bright Star home care, and the Anderson-Johnson Hospice Care facility, by extending our most sincere thank you.
