Obituary

Clarence J. Wagner, age 92, of Chilton, passed away Saturday, June 15, 2019, at Libby's House in Chilton, WI. He was born July 19, 1926, in Chilton, to Joseph & Isabel (Schoenung) Wagner. On May 28, 1960, he married Lola Greuel at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Jericho. Clarence is veteran of World War II, where he proudly served in General Douglas MacArthur's Honor Guard in Tokyo, Japan. After returning home, he worked as a carpenter in the family business, Wagner Builders, for many years, building over 100 homes in the Chilton area with his father and his son, Joe. One of his crowning achievements during his building career was remodeling the former Central House Hotel into a fine eating establishment of the same name. In his free time, Clarence enjoyed ice fishing on Lake Winnebago with his wife and kids, hunting with his sons and many trips to MacArthur Honor Guard army reunions. He immensely enjoyed spending time with his four grandchildren. Clarence is survived by his wife, Lola; his four children, Joseph Wagner of Chilton, Lisa (Dave) Kaiser of Petaluma, CA, Robert (Peg) Wagner of La Pine, OR, and Kristi (Cliff) Millbank of Portland, OR; his four grandchildren, Ellie & AJ Kaiser and Maeve & Maren Millbank. Preceding him in death were his parents, Joseph & Isabel Wagner; his sister, Eileen (Joe) Libbra; and his brother, Sylvester Wagner.
