Martin R. "Marty" Schmidt, age 76, of Chilton, died on Thursday, December 9, 2010, at the Homestead Care Center in New Holstein. He was born August 9, 1934, in the Town of Charlestown, son of the late Martin & Leona (Mathes) Schmidt. He married his best friend and soul mate, LaVerne Geiser on October 17, 1956, at St. Mary Catholic Church in Chilton. During his lifetime, Marty worked at the Hillside Cheese Factory for 25 years; in 1972 he moved onto his father's farm until his retirement. During that time, he had also worked at Chilton Manufacturing for 15 years. He was a member of Good Shepherd Catholic Church, formerly St. Martin Parish of Charlestown. Marty enjoyed playing Sheepshead; it was long thought the reason he went to work every morning was so that he could play cards at lunchtime. His other passion was the Green Bay Packers; Marty followed the Green and Gold from the days they played at the old City Stadium. He loved being a grandfather and was so proud to have great-grandchildren. He always made sure to be as involved as possible in their lives because they were so special to him. Marty also treasured his faith; he read the Bible very frequently and took great comfort in reading and listening to God's Word.
