MILTON GUEX
Milton J. "Chip" Guex, age 94, former town of Gibson resident, died Saturday,
April 7, 2012, at the Hamilton Care Center in Two Rivers.
Milton was born April 14, 1917, in Manitowoc, son of the late Louis and Lillian
Graycarek Guex. He married the former May Kellner on August 23, 1941, at All
Saints Catholic in Denmark. She preceded him in death on June 22, 1997. Milton
joined the military on December 1, 1942, and served in Europe during World War
II, as Staff Sergeant with the Army Company 1, 2nd Infantry. He was honorably
discharged from military duty on October 7, 1945. Upon returning home from the
war, he and his wife bought a small dairy farm in the town of Gibson, where he
lived until moving to the Hamilton Memorial Home in his 90th year. Milton also
worked as a heating plant operator for the Manitowoc company for more than
thirty years.
Milton was a member of Holy Cross Catholic church, the Mishicot-Tisch Mills
Knights of Columbus Council No. 4807, the Mishicot VFW Kempen-Staudinger-Terens
Post No. 7753, and the Wisconsin Steam Engine Club. Chip enjoyed spending time
with his family, particularly with his grandchildren, and great-grandchildren,
his early morning breakfast friends at the Cozy Corner Diner, and his many
friends in the Wisconsin Steam Engine Club. Working with his beloved steam
engine tractor was his special hobby. As a teenager, he traveled with his father,
threshing grain for farmers in several counties in the area. Louie Guex owned two
steam tractors and he put his young son, Milt, in charge of one while he ran the
other. After retirement, Chip spent many hours tinkering and traveling with his
tractor, demonstrating at tractor shows, and socializing with his steam club
friends. He enjoyed his role as the old sage, with real life experience.

child, nieces, nephews, and one brother-in-law (private). In additon (sic) to
