Otto J. Hagenow

Otto J. Hagenow, age 93, formerly of 11000 Francis Creek Road, Two Rivers, who was residing at the North Ridge Medical & Rehabilitation Center in Manitowoc, entered into eternal life early Sunday morning March 4, 2007, at North Ridge. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, March 7, 2007, at the Melnik Presbyterian Church in Melnik, with the Rev. Kay Richter officiating, with burial to follow in the church cemetery.

Otto was born April 1, 1913, in the town of Kossuth to the late Henry Sr. and Emma Robinson Hagenow. He attended the Riverview School in the town of Gibson. On Sept. 19, 1936, he married the former Eleanor Mott at the Melnik Presbyterian Church in Melnik. The late Rev. Frank Junek presided. The couple celebrated 69 years of marriage. She preceded him in death March 2, 2006.

He was a lifelong member of the Melnik Presbyterian Church. Otto worked for the Eggers Industries of Two Rivers for nearly 40 years, first as a maintenance man and later as their rough plainer operator. He retired from Eggers in 1978. Along with his late wife, he enjoyed raising chickens and ducks, gardening and dancing. He also enjoyed watching the Green Bay Packers, and spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Otto is survived by two daughters and one son-in-law, Marjorie and Gerald Sladkey, of Two Rivers, Arelette Basken, of Whitelaw; one son and daughter-in-law, David and Bernice Hagenow, of Two Rivers; seven grandchildren, Peggy (John) Basken, Wendy (Steve) Keehan, Paula (Mark) Van Ess, David Jr. (Donna) Abts, Daniel (Kim) Abts, Todd (Debbie) Hagenow, Melissa Hagenow; 10 great-grandchildren, Brandon and Brittni Knepprath, Tyler, Tiffany, Allison and Dylan Abts, Hannah and Katelyn Van Ess, Zachary and Darren Hagenow. He is further survived by one sister-in-law, Norma Mott, of Two Rivers, and by many nieces, nephews, and special friends.

In addition to his parents and his wife, he was also preceded in death by an infant daughter, Patricia Ann; a son-in-law, Allan Basken; three brothers, Charles, Henry Jr. and Edward Hagenow; and by four sisters, Ella Doubek, Mayme Kouba, Lillian Wasurick and Ida Mott.

Relative and friends may call from 4 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday at the Lambert-Eckert Funeral Home in Mishicot. Visitation will continue after 10 a.m. on Wednesday at the Melnik Presbyterian Church in Melnik until the time of service at 11 a.m.

The Hagenow family would like to extend a very heartfelt thank you to the entire staff at North Ridge, especially to the girls in the 100 Wing for the very special love and care they gave to Otto. He loved you all. We also would like to thank Don, the volunteer who made sure he got to all the activities he could. Don, you were Dad's buddy. We the family appreciate all you did for our father, grandfather and great-grandfather.
