Gary L. Huss

Gary L. Huss, Greenleaf, passed away unexpectedly Saturday, July 7, 2012. He was born July 5, 1941 in Kaukauna, son of the late Peter and Henrietta (Vande Wettering) Huss. Gary married Katherine “Kay” Welter on July 4, 1963 at Holy Cross Catholic Church, Kaukauna. He was a successful, hard-working life-long dairy farmer, and was a member of St. Clare Parish, attending the St. Paul site in Wrightstown. Gary was a life-long Packer fan, and was a season ticket holder. Sundays were special for Gary and his family, whether they were attending a Packer game at Lambeau Field, enjoying a family Sunday brunch or taking a Sunday drive and eating ice cream together. He also enjoyed watching the Brewers and attending his daughter’s Special Olympics events. Gary loved his John Deeres and took great pleasure planting and caring for his gardens and fields. He loved farming and all things nature—including spending time at the cottage up north, watching the animals, and feeding the birds and the deer. He greatly enjoyed spending time with his nephews at the “deer camp”.
