"Roger L. Krouse, 71, Bellevue, went Home to Heaven, September 9, 2009, at home after a five month battle with bladder cancer.
"Roger was born August 9, 1938, the son of Hilmer (deceased) and Lorraine (Boeldt) Krouse in Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
"He graduated from Lincoln High School in 1956 and enlisted in the Navy, serving three years, with stints on the USS Beale and USS Albany. While serving on the Albany, his commanding officer was John S. McCain, Jr.
"He was extremely proud of his military service; having the opportunity to visit many places during his service years, including skiing in the Alps.
"Roger started working for Wisconsin Public Service Corporation in 1961 and retired in June 2000 as Regional Meter Electrician for the Eastern Division. He loved his job and enjoyed working with customers to solve problems he encountered during field work.
"He met his wife, Barb, through a mutual friend, Karen Wolter, at WPSC and they were married on April 22, 1995 at Our Savior Lutheran Church, Green Bay.
"When Roger's children were younger, he was involved in Soap Box Derby racing with Jeff and Greg, he was a Boy Scout Cubmaster, was a coach for Little Hoopers, and loved camping and fishing with his children.
"Roger had two special hobbies, fishing and golf. He was lucky enough to have two holes-in-one in the last few years, both on No. 4, Garden Course at Wander Springs Golf Course. He enjoyed the competitiveness of golf with golf buddies, Galen and Bob.
"He is survived by his mother, Lorraine Krouse, Shady Lane, Manitowoc; wife, Barbara Krouse, Bellevue; children and their families, Jeffrey and Marcia, their children Jeffrey Jr., Becca and Amanda, Goosecreek, SC; Greg, Waukesha; Jodi and John Wachman, their children Alissa, Lexi and John Jr., Crystal Lake, IL; Rick and his children, Courtney and Cameron, Manitowoc; Randy and Jennifer, their children, Ethan and Rachel, Milwaukee; stepchildren and their families, Michele and Ed Murphy, their children Morghan and Jackson, Kildeer, IL; and Jeffrey and Jenna Hermes, their children, Taylor, Brenna and Braeden, Kimberly; sisters and their husbands, Sandy and Jim Rogness, Sturgeon Bay; and Barbara and Bill Wallace, Manitowoc.
"Survivors also include Barb's family, her mother, Lucille Larsen, Bellevue Retirement Community, her siblings and their spouses, Ronald and Beverly Larsen, Bellevue, Rita and Jon Angeli, Lancaster, Bruce and Marlene Larsen, Green Bay, Gail Larsen and Bill Blount, Lockeford, CA, Kenneth and Carole Larsen, Allouez, and Kevin and Mary Larsen, Bellevue.
"He is further survived by nieces, nephews & many cousins; by special friends, Gary & Joanie, Pat & JoAnn, Jerry & LuAnne, and Sharon.
"Roger also had a special group of friends from his childhood in Manitowoc known as the Greenstreet Gang. Roger and Barb also made many wonderful, supportive "snowbird" friends at the Islander Beach Resort, Fort Walton Beach, Florida, the last four winters."
