From 1986 to 1989, Roger attended the University of Wisconsin Extension in Milwaukee and Madison, Wisconsin
where he earned a continuing education certificate in public administration.
On 1 January 1996, Roger died as a result of lung cancer that had metastasized throughout his body. He first learned of
his illness when he felt pain in his shoulder only two or three months prior to his death. He died at the home he shared with
his wife, Barbara, in Burlington, Wisconsin.
Although struck down before he had achieved his full potential, Roger had lived a complete and interesting life. Musically
inclined, like so many other members of the Heuer family, he helped to organize a barbershop quartet and directed choral
music, mainly church choirs, for over twenty years. He had earned a master’s degree in physics and taught grade school. In
his last year, he was a substitute teacher in the Burlington and Lake Geneva areas. Having served as the mayor of Sheboygan
for four years and as executive secretary of the Watertown Chamber of Commerce for two years, he was selected from a field
of forty-six applicants for the Mayville city administrator-clerk position. Besides racketball, Roger was an excellent golfer
and never enjoyed the game more than he did in the last year of his life. He was a man that savored life and dedicated so
much of himself to making life better for others.

a bachelor’s degree in nursing.
Judith recalled that when her mother died at an early age, her father demonstrated a commitment to family through his
determination to keep the family of seven children together. He enlisted the help of his mother, Clara Yauger Prokash, who
traveled some distance for many years to help raise the family.
On 18 January 1964, Judith married Robert Alfred Johnson in St. John’s Lutheran Church, Pulaski, Brown County,
Wisconsin. Robert, a son of Robert and Arvilla Bartz Johnson, was born 27 July 1938 in Oconto Falls, Oconto County,

based on the premise that, “life is what you make of it,” provided the framework for Judith to build a busy life and accounts
for the commendable manner in which she was able to raise three hard-working, talented, and productive children who
would be respectable citizens and good parents to their children.

area sales manager; Hilton Hotels as an account executive; and as a nurse in emergency care and hospice. She was the
president of the hospital auxiliary, owned several businesses, and was involved with numerous civic activities and fund
raising organizations. She was involved in a business venture with her sons in the hope that she could assist them to become
financially independent. Judith felt that to watch her children grow and succeed in life and knowing that she had a hand in
supporting that endeavor would far surpass all of her other fleeting accomplishments. She said, “This achievement reaches
the next generation – and the next – building the right character in our children will keep families and our country strong.
Without that – nothing else really matters.”
Judith and Dennis lived in Olathe, Kansas.

than I ever dreamed possible. Grandpa wasn’t much for conversation but I loved to be around him. I still read and reread the

October 1962 in St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Algoma with Mr. and Mrs. Warren (Barbara) Stern and Diane Heuer
Piette as her sponsors.
Summertime activity changed drastically for Kim in the summer of 1973 when she was ten.
Her father had given her a filly the previous Christmas and from then on Kim became a “horse
freak.” She worked all year long taking care of a neighbor’s horses in return for free board for
her horse, Heda. Kim trained her filly and went on to show her all over southern Wisconsin.
She won many classes at the horse shows throughout the years. Kim’s passion for showing
her horse continued throughout her college years until she joined the U.S. Army Veterinary
Corps in 1989.
Kim attended elementary, middle, and high school in Reedsburg, Sauk County, Wisconsin
and graduated as an honor student from Webb High School in 1980 – third in her graduating
class. Her main extracurricular activities during high school were her horses, gymnastics,
playing flute, and the Pom Pom Squad. After high school, she entered the University of

veterinary care for military members’ pets. In April 1992,
Kim went to Honduras after volunteering for a six-month
tour with the Joint Task Force Bravo at Soto Cano Air
Base outside Comyagua, Honduras. During her short
stay in Honduras, her primary duty was to conduct
humanitarian missions, which entailed providing
preventative health care services for animals throughout
the country. Many times the only way to get to the remote
locations was by helicopter, either Huey, Blackhawk, or
Chinook. From Honduras, Kim returned to San Antonio
to attend the Officers’ Advanced Course and
subsequently served as a staff officer at the Veterinary
Command. In 1994, Kim was transferred to Augusta,
Georgia where she spent the next three years as the Chief,
758
Costa Rico at the veterinary school in San Jose, the capitol. She traveled extensively throughout
the country with the
Costa Rican veterinary
students treating a variety
of subsistence-type
animals, mainly cattle and
pigs. After returning from
Costa Rico, Kim
completed another
externship at the animal
hospital of Verona, just
outside Madison.
After graduating
from veterinary school and
realizing good job
opportunities as a new
veterinarian were few and
far between, Kim made the
momentous decision to

transferred from the U.S. Army to the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and worked at the National Institutes of
Health, Allergies, and Infectious Diseases Department in Bethesda, Maryland.

Lee Taylor and Carol Lee Boyd, was born 24 November 1948 in Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie County, Iowa. Kerry
graduated from Abraham Lincoln High School, Council Bluffs; Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa with a baccalaureate
degree in biology; and the University of Northern Colorado, Greeley, Colorado with a master’s degree in public administration.

he was shot and killed on 23 June 1991 in a drive-by shooting. He was just eighteen years old. The accident occurred as Josh
was being driven home after playing pool at a friend’s home. Josh and several of his friends were riding in a van when the
occupants of another car pulled up in the lane beside them and shot at the van. No one in the van was familiar with the
gunman and the reason for the assault was unknown. Josh, sitting in the middle of the front seat, was the only one in the van
hit. The bullet went through the lung, heart, and lodged in his hip. Although Josh was rushed to a trauma center, he had little
chance for survival. A police helicopter near the scene was dispatched and the gunman was tracked to a relative’s house
where he was arrested within minutes of committing the crime. The Phoenix man was found guilty of second-degree murder
in the shooting death of Joshua.
Funeral services were conducted from the Chapel of the Chimes Mortuary in Glendale and he was interred in Resthaven
Park Cemetery. When Josh died, his mother, Ann, lost her only son and child, and his grandmother, Delores, lost her only
grandson. Gone were the dreams of an all-American, six-foot three-inch blond young man from Glendale, Arizona who had
planned to attend college that fall. Josh was sadly missed by his family and friends. His
grandmother, Delores Paulick, lovingly wrote of his death, “...I guess the Lord wanted him
home and away from this cruel world.”

the shack. They had been participating in an ice-fishing derby sponsored by the Larrabee Sportsmen’s Club. Many of the
participants stayed on the lake overnight in their shanties and others stayed in cars as the temperatures dipped below zero.
The wooden shanty was one of more than fifty such shelters on the frozen seventy-acre lake.
Victims included Scott Novak, seventeen, son of Kenneth and Mary Novak, 2824 Two Creeks Road, Mishicot; Cory A.
Throndson, sixteen, 1004 Tapawingo Road, Mishicot; Shawn Shoulak, sixteen, a son of Larry and Kathy Shoulak, 5125
Hwy. 147 West, Maribel; and Sarah J. Koller, sixteen, a daughter of David and Sandy Koller, Mishicot.
The victims were found about 6:30 a.m. Sunday approximately three hours after they were last seen awake. Mr. Koller
was in a shack next door to the one of the victims and tried mouth-to-mouth resuscitation after Sarah’s brother, Scott, and
another friend found the teenagers.
