Bublitz, Virgil H. (29 DEC 1922 - 22 APR 2017)

Virgil H. Bublitz, age 94, of Owen passed away on Saturday, April 22, 2017, at home under the tender care of Ministry Hospice with family by his side.

A Funeral Service will be held at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, April 26, 2017, at Owen First United Church of Christ. Pastor Asafa will officiate.

Family and friends are welcome at 10:00 AM until the time of service Wednesday at the church. The Maurina-Schilling Funeral Home in Owen is entrusted with the arrangements.

Virgil was born on December 29, 1922, in¬¬¬ Curtiss, the son of Otto and Laura (Neitzel) Bublitz. On March 4, 1946, Virgil was united in marriage to Edna Laube at the home of her parents in the township of Green Grove.

Virgil is survived by his four children: Perry of Tigerton, Glen (Becky) of Withee, Kurt (Barb) of Stevens Point, and Tim (Nancy) of Owen; 12 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. He is further survived by a sister; Marg (Fred) Panzenhagen of Florida and many other family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his wife: Edna; grandson-in-law, Ben Armitage, and his sister: Lorraine (Harold) House.

100 years from now, his descendants will still be talking about the Grandpa who milked cows until age 80. Who retired at age 90. Who at age 93, was still mowing 4.5 acres of lawn each week. The Grandpa, who on the day he died, he spent the morning listening to Polka music, cleaning his own house, cooking his own meals and washing his trademark overalls and flannel shirts. May his life be a humble example for generations yet to come.
