Dwight was born in Almond, WI on January 26, 1937 to the late Henry and Verna (Pike) Pomerenke. On August 30, 1958, he was united in marriage to Nancy Lettman. He was one of the kindest, hardest working men we knew. Dwight was devoted to his family and helping out everyway he could. He loved gardening and growing vegetables. He was a true farmer at heart. Dwight enjoyed hunting with his friends and also “tinkering” with things, especially cars in his younger days. Dwight loved his cowboy music and large festive holiday meals. Most of all, he loved his family and spending time with them!
