Retired Pastor Milton Suess of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Luxemburg and Holy Trinity Church in Casco has died. Suess passed away on Sunday due to complications from pneumonia. He served over 55 years in the Catholic ministry, including almost forty for the twin parishes. He also served churches in Green Bay, St. Anna, Pilsen, and Oneida. St. Mary’s Parish Council President Rod Mleziva knew Suess before he began attending mass at the church 30 years ago. Mleziva says Suess was a man who got along with everybody.
The funeral is set for 11 a.m. on Thursday, but Mleziva says it will be a large undertaking because of the number of people who will want to give their last goodbyes. Suess was 84 years old.
