Harold P. Piumbroeck passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family on Wednesday, April 26 , 2017 at Crystal Pines Rehabilitation Center in Crystal Lake, Illinois.

Harold was born on May 5, 1922 in De Pere, Wisconsin to the late Louis and Christine Piumbroeck.

Harold was preceded in death by the love of his life, Dorothy. Harold and Dorothy were married for 68 years and he missed her dearly. He was also preceded in death by his siblings, Robert Piumbroeck, Bernice Kane, Betty (Boots) Bosse and Richard Piumbroeck. Harold is survived by his sons, John (Cindy) Piumbroeck of Crystal Lake, and Larry (Kathleen) Piumbroeck of Minneapolis, MN; his daughter, Nancy Lage of St Paul, MN; and his grandchildren, Sarah (Scott) Bedoe, Michael ( Mary Jo) Piumbroeck, Alison (Adam) Groebner, Tyler (Callie) Piumbroeck, Emily (Matthew) Martinson, Katherine Lage, and William Lage. Harold was blessed with ten great grandchildren, Madeline, William, Gianna, Jack, Griffin, Hazel, Oliver, Beatrice, Esme and Connolly.

Harold was a proud veteran of the US Navy, serving during World War II. Harold loved the Green Bay Packers and was a lifelong fan. As a season ticket holder, Harold proudly attended many games since the opening of Lambeau Field in 1958 where he sat in the same seats for so many years. He loved playing the game of golf and was an avid fisherman. Harold was in the printing business for most of his working career. He and Dorothy retired in 1981 and moved to Door County, a place they both loved. Harold’s desire was to return home to Sister Bay, Wisconsin where he will join Dorothy once again. Harold’s family and friends will gather in Sister Bay during the summer of 2017 for a memorial celebration of his life.

Our family would like to extend a special thank you to the nurses and staff at Crystal Pines Rehabilitation Center and JourneyCare for their kindness, support, and compassionate care.
