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.

In Loving Memory of Risë Louise Kaiser, née Ruben, was born on November 12, 1944, in Racine, Wisconsin. A creative, intelligent, passionate, and fiercely driven woman, Risë lived life on her own terms.

A bit unpredictable and always full of ideas, she was rarely content to sit still, continually finding new projects, ventures, and adventures to pursue. Early in their marriage, Risë and her beloved husband, Richard Kaiser, started a hot dog truck and hot dog cart business while raising their young family. Their entrepreneurial spirit was a reflection of Risë’s determination and ability to turn ideas into reality. An artist at heart, Risë had her artwork displayed in local galleries and later opened a boutique in Egg Harbor, Wisconsin, filled with unique and fun items that reflected her creative eye and love of the unusual. Whatever she pursued, she brought determination, imagination, and her own distinctive flair. Risë was also a wonderful cook and enthusiastic party host who loved bringing people together. She knew how to make gatherings memorable and had a gift for creating an atmosphere where people could enjoy good food, good company, and lasting memories.

Following Richard’s passing five years ago, Risë continued to be remembered for her independent spirit, ambition, and unmistakable personality. Her legacy lives on through her two daughters, two stepsons, 26 grandchildren and great-grandchildren, her brother, niece, and nephew, along with the many people whose lives she touched. Risë will be remembered as an artist, entrepreneur, mother, and a woman who never ran short of ideas or determination. She built businesses, created art, welcomed people into her world, and pursued life with a spirit that was entirely her own. There will never be another quite like Risë. Her creativity, passion, and adventurous spirit will live on through her family, the memories she created, and the generations who carry her legacy forward.

A hardworking man who was always willing to lend a helping hand, Jim kept busy but never hesitated to make time for others. He enjoyed tinkering with projects in his shed and taking leisurely rides on his lawnmower. Above all, family was what mattered most to Jim. He especially treasured time spent with his grandchildren, whether taking them fishing or making a stop at the gas station afterward for hot dogs.

Roger De Grave, 88, of Luxemburg, peacefully passed away amid the love and care of his family on Friday, October 23, 2026. Roger was born on May 1, 1938, in Green Bay to Luella (Fonder) and Roland De Grave. Roger served in the United States Air Force during peacetime following the Korean Conflict: 1956 to 1960. On August 7, 1965, he and Elizabeth (Betty) Lasecki were married at St. Boniface Catholic Church in West De Pere, and the honeymoon never ended.

Roger will be greatly missed by his loving wife, Elizabeth (Betty) De Grave, of 61 years, his daughter Jodi De Grave, son Jeff De Grave, daughter-in-law Analisa (Hackmann) De Grave, and granddog Wolfie.

Roger will be remembered for his wit, humor, honesty, good nature, patience, ability to fix anything, reliability, his master card playing skills at Sheepshead, love for “cowboy music” and, of course, chasing eclipses with his best friend, Terry Quigley, recently deceased.

In addition to his immediate family, Roger is survived by his sisters Kathleen De Grave (of Pittsburg, Kansas) and Gale (Steve) Schmiedlin. Roger is also survived by many loving in-laws including Betty’s siblings Denise (Norbert) DeBeukelar, Denis (Cindy) Lasecki, and Alice Marric; brother-in-law Kip Detry; sister-in-law Diane Carter, and many caring nieces and nephews and their partners also survive Roger. Roger was preceded in death by his parents Luella and Roland De Grave; brother Gary and his wife, Pat De Grave; brother Michael (Sherri) De Grave; sisters Judy De Grave and Virginia (Gini) Detry, and brother-in-law Earl Lee.

After completing his service to the U.S. military, Roger began working at Nicolet paper mill in West De Pere. Eventually, he decided school offered a new future for his wife and young children. After completing his Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from UW-Madison, Roger made his career as a “federal agent” (a credit union examiner and supervisor of examiners) starting in 1971, working in Chicago for the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). After several moves and a few decades later, Roger and Betty returned to Wisconsin where Roger, and eventually Betty, enjoyed retirement through traveling, watching quirky movies, playing cards, drinking dark beer, and enjoying his “commute” to the mailbox and back. Always quick with a joke or witty commentary, Roger was truly one-of-a-kind. Always pleasant, always helpful, and always finding creative solutions for anything, he is already missed in so many ways, including as a loving, caring, patient, and understanding husband, father, and friend.

A Catholic Mass will be held to remember and honor Roger on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at 11:00am at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church at 5930 Humboldt Road in Luxemburg, Wisconsin. Father Patrick Beno will be leading the celebration of Roger’s life followed by lunch at Eddie Whipp’s after Mass. The burial will take place at Mt. Calvary Cemetery in West De Pere at 11:00am on Thursday, November 5, 2026. McMahon Funeral Home, Luxemburg, is assisting the family. Online condolences can be shared at McMahonFH.com.

Barbara R. Kust (nee Ruegg) quietly passed away on Sunday Oct 18, 2026 in Kyle, Texas at the age of 92. Barb was raised and loved by her foster parents, Alex and Olga Moersfelder. She had been a Washington County resident for most of her life. On October 31, 1953 she was united in marriage to Emery “Em” Kust at Immanuel United Church of Christ in West Bend. Barb had strong faith in her Lord which was reflected in the people she associated with.

She was blessed with a son, Ken, a daughter-in-law Karen, and four healthy, loving grandchildren: James, Christopher, Ana and Taylor that added more enjoyment to her life. She is grateful for all her wonderful friends who made her life complete. Barb found great satisfaction in helping the elderly and always strived for order, honesty and cleanliness. She loved her flowers, vegetable garden and bird watching. She and Em were the recipients of the West Bend Mayor’s City Beautification Award in 1992. Many meals were prepared in her kitchen for family and friends to enjoy. If she heard a familiar song on the radio, she was singing along. Crafts, drawing, sewing and painting were favorite parts of her busy life. Her gracious and loving spirit will be remembered in a private family gathering at Washington County Memorial Park. Barb has requested that any memorials be given to her loving friends at the Washington County Humane Society. “A Smile”—A smile costs nothing but gives so much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he can’t be made richer by it. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as no one needs a smile as much as he who has no more to give. Peace!
