Bruce Edwin Knaup, 66, a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, left us peacefully on November 6, 2026, with his family by his side. Born on December 4, 1959, in Sturgeon Bay, WI Bruce lived a life filled with laughter, love, and cherished memories. He spent his later years in Brussels, WI surrounded by his family and the community he adored. Bruce was a proud owner of B&B Home Maintenance and Repair. He held a high school diploma, but his greatest teachings came from life itself, instilling the importance of hard work and integrity in those around him. Bruce was known for his warm spirit and his ability to make others smile, whether through a shared laugh or a heartfelt conversation over a beer. Bruce had a love for the outdoors and could be often found out on his land cutting firewood. He was an avid sports enthusiast, enjoying everything from racing to baseball and football. Bruce's love for these games was not merely about competition; it was about the connections they fostered and the moments shared with friends and family. His joyous presence will be deeply missed, especially at gatherings where games were watched and stories were told. He was quick to tell you that his greatest accomplishment in life apart from marrying Jill was his children and who they have become.

Bruce is survived by his devoted wife, Jill; their children, Brian (Beverly) Knaup, Sara (Hunter) Wesoloski, and Katlyn (Chris) Lau. He was a proud grandfather to Emma and Brooklyn Knaup, Leo, Morrison, Joplin Wesoloski, Charlotte, Koralynn, and Mary Lau, whose lives he enriched with his wisdom and love. He is also survived by his brothers, Tom (Malia) Knaup, and Tim (Kim) Knaup; along with brother-in-law, Roger Gumtow; sister-in-law, Laura Knaup; and many cherished friends. Bruce was preceded in death by his parents, Clifford and Harriet Knaup; siblings, Carol Gumtow, and Curt Knaup.

Thomas Alfred “Tom” Dier, 67, of Ahnapee, WI, passed away peacefully at home on November 7, 2026. Tom was born on December 28, 1958, to Mahlon and Jeanette Dier in Algoma. He attended St. Mary Catholic School, developing strong, lifelong friendships with his classmates. Tom was active in the Student Council at Algoma High School and graduated with the Class of 1977. He earned an Associate’s Degree in Architectural Design and Technology from North Central Technical College in Wausau, WI in 1982. Tom married the love of his life, Laurie Idella Diller, on October 12, 1985, at St. Mary Church. Tom’s love and devotion to Laurie remained unmatched through their 41 years of marriage. Tom and Laurie were blessed with three sons: Logan Thomas Dier (fiancée, Brandi) of Green Bay, Austin Jacob Dier and Evan Connor Dier of Ahnapee. He was a proud “Papi” to three grandchildren, Adrian Thomas Dier, Avalyn Paque, and Abel Paque.

Growing up in his family’s business, Forestville Builders and Supply, Tom started pounding nails at the age of three. His role in the business evolved through the years—first as a carpenter, then as a home and remodeling designer, and eventually moving into sales. A natural salesperson who established lifelong connections with people, Tom played an integral role in growing the company into a business known nationwide for high-quality building projects and millwork. Tom had a true passion for food. Name a city he visited, and he could recommend the best restaurants. Eager for a great recipe, he was never shy about asking to speak with the head chef—as he famously did during a trip to Emeril Lagasse’s restaurant. Tom found joy in planning menus and cooking for family and friends. At any gathering, his rumaki was always the first dish to disappear, alongside his signature Crème Brûlée and his legendary orange-chipotle glaze. Music was another cornerstone of Tom’s life. A dedicated fan of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead, he attended countless concerts over the years and also enjoyed music from Huey Lewis, Bruce Hornsby, B.B. King, and George Winston, a passion he shared with his sons. Together with Laurie, he proudly supported the Algoma High School Music Department, working as a chef for the AHS Dinner Concert for over 20 years. Tom and Laurie were active members of the St. Mary Parish Congregation, volunteering for numerous projects and community events, including food preparation for Shanty Days and the popular festival dinners. He was a member of the Forestville Maplewood Lions Club, and cherished the time spent with his sons collecting deer hides for donations, among other projects. An avid outdoorsman, Tom enjoyed hunting and time at the Woodside cottage with his father, brother Jeff, sons, cousin Jim, uncles and nephews. He was part of the “Sugar Shack” crew that produced the “Pride of Woodside” maple syrup for family and friends. Wherever Tom went, he made countless lasting friends through business and leisure - friendships he always cherished.

Tom was deeply blessed by his dedicated care team—Conchita, Dawn, and Nicolette—who worked closely alongside him and Laurie. Tom frequently shared his deep appreciation for the staff at Sunshine House / Sunflower Cottage and the nurses and doctors at Froedtert Cancer Center by delivering homemade treats and bakery goods during his visits.

Tom is survived by his beloved wife, Laurie; his sons and grandchildren; his siblings, Laura Krzysiak, Kristine (Floyd) Dauenhauer, Peggy Lynn, Jacqueline Toepfer (Kurt Bullard), Jeffrey (Alana) Dier, and Michelle (Dan) Bastian; and Laurie’s sister, Rose Cortsen. He is further survived by his brother-in-law, Roger Nelson; cousins and many beloved nieces and nephews who fondly remember his generous, fun-loving spirit. Tom was preceded in death by his parents; his sister, Mary Nelson; brother-in-law, Gary Krzysiak; sisters- and brothers-in-law, Edna and Marty Koontz, Jim Cortsen, Jack and Sally Diller, Greg Koontz, great-nephew, Elden Steinhoff, and many friends.

Visitation will be held at Schinderle Funeral Home on Thursday, November 12, from 4 PM to 8 PM, with a prayer service at 7 PM. Viewing will continue on Friday, November 13, at St. Mary Catholic Church in Algoma from 9:30AM to 11AM, with a Mass to follow at 11 AM. Father Bill Switchenberg will preside. In place of flowers, memorial contributions may be directed to Sunshine Resources of Door County (https://sunshineresources.org/), the Forestville Maplewood Lions Club, and Unity Hospice.

Kaye McLatchie Maher passed away peacefully on Saturday, October 3, 2026 in Sister Bay, WI at the age of 96. Born on August 15, 1930 to John Eldon McLatchie and Emily (Sharp) McLatchie, Kaye often reflected that her childhood was shaped by a great many family moves. Along with her two sisters, Joan and Lois, Kaye lived in Evanston, Glencoe, and Winnetka, IL; Shaker Heights, OH; and Greenwich, CT. She formed many dear friendships at New Trier High School in Winnetka, IL where she graduated with the class of 1948. After earning a degree in Early Childhood Development from Connecticut College in New London, CT, Kaye returned to Chicago to attend a reunion of high school friends where she met the love of her life. Kaye enjoyed telling the story of how a tall, handsome man accidentally tripped and literally fell into her lap at that party, and then they stayed together forever. On December 10, 1955, Kaye married Harry Clarke Maher at Sacred Heart Church in Winnetka, IL.

In Northbrook, IL, they lovingly raised their four children (Emily, John, Kate and Danny) in a close-knit neighborhood (St. Stephens Green) that they adored. Kaye was the kind of mother everyone wishes they had - steady, calm and peaceful, acting selflessly and making their home a place of nurturing and comfort. In 1970, Kaye and Harry started the Kaymar Crafts business out of their home in Northbrook. Harry was the artist and creator of decorative wooden plaques, and Kaye tirelessly held operations together with unflappability and resilience while traveling this unexpected path. At the same time that she raised four children and managed the family business, Kaye also volunteered for Meals on Wheels in the northern Chicago suburbs, swam at the YMCA early each morning with friends, and sang in the annual Do It Yourself Messiah at Orchestra Hall in Chicago.

In 1985, Kaye and Harry moved to Door County, WI. They lived on Island View Road in Juddville for 20 years, where they enjoyed a beautiful home on the bluff overlooking Egg Harbor and the small islands in the Green Bay waters. Always a lover of books and reading, Kaye began a career as a librarian after her children were grown. Whereas Kaye's story as a librarian began in the Chicago area at the Winnetka Public Library, it blossomed at the McArdle Library in Baileys Harbor. The library was originally housed in the old Baileys Harbor schoolhouse. When the time came for a new library building connected to the town hall, Kaye was instrumental in discussions and planning, consulting with the architects to create a new library based on what she knew her patrons needed. Once it was built, Kaye enjoyed helping library visitors with research projects, writing, and -- most satisfying of all -- finding the perfect book. She felt honored to know multiple generations of local families and was cherished as the Baileys Harbor librarian for 18 years until she stepped down and assisted at the Sister Bay Library.

Kaye and Harry moved from Juddville to The Oaks in Baileys Harbor in 2002. Kaye was a board member on the original Oaks Condominium Association board and developed friendships with many wonderful neighbors there. Kaye and Harry were active members of the Ephraim Moravian Church where Kaye served as a trustee and sang in the choir. She loved classical music and volunteered at Midsummer's Music, enjoyed and supported the Peninsula Music Festival, and performed with the Peninsula Singers choir. She was a member of the original Door County chapter of P.E.O. (Philanthropic Educational Organization), a very involved member of several book clubs, and found time to relax by tending to her beautiful flower gardens. Kaye's other interests included knitting, curating reading recommendations for friends and family, and an abiding love for dogs. She would proudly name all the dogs throughout her life, from a Scottie named Sandy, a Collie named Bruce whom she called her "best friend growing up", a Shorthaired Pointer, four Shelties, an Airedale, to her final dog friend, a Westie named Charlie. There was almost never a time in her life when Kaye did not have a dog whom she cared for and loved.

Kaye is survived by her daughter, Emily Maher of Sister Bay, WI, son, John (Lynn Yanis) Maher of Northampton, MA, and daughter, Kate (Kevin) Moss of Wauwatosa, WI; grandchildren, Ryan (Kathy) Moss, Daniel (Alexis Wallace) Moss, Caroline Moss, Kathleen (Michael Johnson) Maher, Anna Maher, and Yelena Maher; great-grandchildren, Leo Moss, Naomi Johnson, and Nora Johnson; and nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, Harry Maher, who passed away in 2017 after 62 years of marriage. They are now reunited (as was her greatest wish), along with their son, Danny; sisters, Joan (Walter) Schilling and Lois (Bill) Ensign; and siblings-in-law Ann (Roger) Hosbein, Carol (Jack) Pennington, and Clark Maher.

Kaye's family would like to send thanks and gratitude to the numerous caregivers in Door County who showed love and devotion for their beloved mother. Her life will be honored with a funeral service on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at the Ephraim Moravian Church, 9979 Moravia Road, Ephraim, WI with Rev. Chris Griffith officiating. Following the service, the family invites guests to gather for light refreshments in the Fellowship Hall at the church. Memorials may be given in Kaye's name to the Ephraim Moravian Church (PO Box 73, Ephraim, WI 54211) or Friends of Door County Libraries (online donations at friendsofdoorcountylibraries.org). Arrangements have been entrusted with Huehns Funeral Home in Sturgeon Bay. Expressions of sympathy, memories and photos of Kaye may be shared with her family through her tribute page at www.HuehnsFuneralHome.com.

Kathleen E. Kaye, 94, formerly of Egg Harbor, WI passed away on Monday, November 2, 2026, at Brookdale Memory Care near Milwaukee. She was born on September 26, 1932, in Door County, daughter of the late Paul and Ann (McCarty) Carmody. On July 18, 1953, Kathleen married Norbert Kaye in Egg Harbor and together they raised four children. Norbert preceded her in death in 2012. After all her children were in school, Kathleeen went to work for Emerson Motors where she worked until her retirement at age 62. In their retirement, Kathleen and Norbert enjoyed many winters in Texas. She especially treasured all the time she spent with grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Kathleen is survived by one son: Paul Kaye, Milwaukee; a daughter-in-law: Mary Kaye, Sturgeon Bay; 13 grandchildren; 23 great-grandchildren; and one brother: Frank (Sue) Carmody, Green Bay; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends also survive.

Justin Michael Skiba, 40, of Sturgeon Bay, passed away Saturday morning, October 31, 2026. He was born August 8, 1986 in Neenah, one of ten children born to David Patrick Skiba, Sr. and Wendolyn "Wendy" Elizabeth (Schuh) Skiba. Justin grew up in Seymour and attended Rock Ledge Elementary School. He played football and golf for Seymour High School and graduated with the class of 2004. Justin always wanted to be a teacher. He went on to study at UW - Fox Valley in Menasha before transferring to the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay where he earned his Bachelor's degree in 2009. Justin continued playing football for the (semi-pro) Green Bay Gladiators football team. He was their quarterback from 2007 until 2012. Justin worked at Sam's Club in Appleton while attending college. It was there he met Stephanie Gail Valdez who was picking up a birthday cake from the store. Justin kept in touch with her after that first meeting. They were married September 20, 2009 at the White Lace Inn in Sturgeon Bay. Justin started with Sevastopol School on August 18, 2009 and taught third grade. He eventually traded in his (football) pads and helmet for a whistle and headset as he coached JV and eventually became the head (varsity) football coach (2009-2015). Justin headed the committee that helped the school convert from traditional 11-man football to 8-man. When he wasn't coaching football, he could still be found playing quarterback and eventually reffing football during recess. Justin was one of the star players for the annual staff vs. students football and basketball games each year. Wisconsin Public Television recognized Justin in a letter, reviewing his collaborative efforts with six other educators for writing lesson plans for the Wisconsin Hometown Stories Project. Justin LOVED his Sevastopol family - his colleague teachers and friends as well as students he taught and coached. Those at Sevastopol remember him for being "an incredibly kind-hearted teacher who had the gift to connect with his students" and that "he made the kids [at Sevastopol] feel seen whether they were in his class or not." "His contagious laugh could be heard in the halls." "He poured his heart into the Living Wax Museum each year, sharing his love for history with the students and helping that [history] come to life." "His kindness, sense of humor, compassion, and genuine care for others made a lasting impact on the students, colleagues, friends, and the entire Sevastopol community." "Justin's influence on the students and the school community will not be forgotten." He enjoyed playing golf recreationally and eventually started running - in various 5K races over the years. Justin volunteered with the Heritage Village at Big Creek and cherished the time he spent teaching as "Justin the Journeyman" alongside Mike Madden and Coggin Heeringa. He liked traveling with family, even to Europe, but Walt Disney World (in Florida) was definitely his favorite place to visit. In recent years, Justin enjoyed building his dream cabin on his property, just outside of the city limits of Sturgeon Bay, in the Town of Nasewaupee.

Justin LOVED his family: wife, Stephanie; daughters, Delaney and Amelia; parents, David and Wendy Skiba of Seymour; siblings, Sarah (Jake) Newling of the Town of Osborn; Pam (Andy) Gorecki of Black Creek, David (Sarah) Skiba of Seymour, Steve (Jodell Gagnow) Skiba of Seymour, Zak (Tiffany) Skiba of Mequon, Alyssa (Brad) Beno of Neenah, Molly (Eric) Kropp of Thiensville, Abby (Dan) Schlenz of Greenville, and Jordan Skiba of Seymour; aunts and uncles; many nieces and nephews; other relatives; and friends.
