John W. Damrow

John W. (Jack) Damrow, 82, accepted God’s invitation to join him in eternal life, leaving his pain behind on Wednesday November 20th, 2019.
John (Jack) was one of 11 children born to the late Frank and Helen Schrader Damrow on November 17th, 1937. He attended area schools until entering the Navy where he served 3 years.
John worked at Gabe’s Construction for 29 years, retiring in 1994. He attended St. Dominic Catholic church and believed in daily prayers. His favorite prayer is one he knew in Latin best. Whether he was up north at the family cabin or at his home in Sheboygan, John rarely missed a Packer or Badger game. John cherished the many memories made from family gatherings, projects and hunting seasons spent up north at various family cabins. He was always willing to help anyone out on a job that needed to be done.
John is survived by his 5 children, Bob Damrow, Mike (Lori) Damrow, Linda (Daniel) Wolf, Robin (Mark) Radtke and Todd (Melissa) Baumann, 10 grandchildren, Cameron, Breana, Jake, Kyle, Sara, Alec, Cole, Ben, Jonathon, Kian and 2 Great Grandsons.

Along with many nieces, nephews and friends.
Preceding him in death, along with his parents, were 4 siblings, Jerry (Lou) Damrow, Robert Damrow, Lorraine Haese, Dorothy (Elroy) Wallander and his long time companion, Beverly Baumann.
