Carl Neuman
d. December 13, 2014
1930-2014
Today, God called our husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, great-great grandfather, brother-in-law, cousin, and friend home to entertain the crowds in heaven! Carl Walter Neuman, age 84, of Waupun, died Saturday, December 13, 2014 at his home.
He was born on July 26, 1930, in Lebanon, son of Fred and Jueinitta (Stark) Neuman. He was united in marriage to Lucille (Dins) who preceded him in death in 1969. He married Evelyn (Schwarze) on January 19, 1974 at Immanuel Lutheran Church. Carl proudly served his country in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He just returned from the Badger Honor Flight. He was a member of the Immanuel Lutheran Church and dedicated usher. He was employed as a tractor mechanic for a local John Deere dealership for over 35 years (the best John Deere mechanic in the area)! He loved to play his concertina and entertain the crowds. He was the number one fan of his great grandchildren attending their baseball, basketball and softball games. He was their number one fan. Friday night fish fries were first on his agenda for the start of the weekend. MJ’s will miss him! He was an avid fisherman and never kept a trout that wasn’t a premium prize. He was an excellent car mechanic as well as tractor mechanic. Carl was an active member of the American Legion (past commander), Veterans of Foreign Wars, Fond Du Lac Area Musicians, American Legion Honor Guard and the Waupun Volksfest Committee. He received the Distinguished Service Award from the Wisconsin Polka Hall of Fame, and was appointed to the World Concertina Congress Hall of Fame. He enjoyed being with family, playing the concertina, & trout fishing on the Mecan, the meanest stream around. He played concertina for special events, weddings, annual family reunions, assisted living centers, and Senior Centers. He loved German festivals and attending grandchildren and great-grandchildren’s Christmas programs.
