Schunk, Ronald John

Ronald John Schunk, age 74, of Weyauwega, passed away with his wife by his side on Tuesday, December 21, 2021 at Theda Care Medical Center in Appleton, after a short battle with cancer.

He was born on June 28, 1947 in Stanley, Wisconsin, son of the late George Schunk and Dorothy Harmeyer. He graduated from Weyauwega High School in 1965. Ron worked at Miller Electric Mfg. in Appleton for 33 years. He was also a bartender at Pine Tree Supper Club, JK’s in Weyauwega, JW Stringers and the Hotel Fremont. He always said he might not remember all his customers’ names but he remembered what you drink. I’m sure he’s enjoying a few drinks in heaven with Lenny, Noel, Mark and Danny. He married Gloria Jacobs Schunk in 1975 and they moved to the Weyauwega area in 1978.

Ron was preceded in death by his parents, step mom: Paula Harris, and step dad: John Harmeyer; brother, Laverne; sisters: Sharon, Bonna, Joan and LoraLee; parents-in-law, Hubert and Eleanore Jacobs; brothers-in-law, Richard Jacobs, Harvey Zahringer; sister-in-law, Joyce Jacobs and great-nephew, Killian Race Brault. He is survived by his wife, Gloria; son, Todd (Becky) Schunk and their son Rory; daughter, Kim Nitzsche and her daughter Megan (Zebediah) Rausch and daughter Jenny (Paul) Rushizky and their son Quinn; in-laws: Harold (Kathleen Pagel) Jacobs, Alfred and Shirley Jacobs, John and Sandy Jacobs, Eunice (Dave Wood) Heller, Don and Lori Jacobs, Diane and Bob Willems, Darlene Zahringer, Karen and Jeff Goeser, Gerry and Barb Jacobs, Ellen and Vic Brault and Eugene Auman. Further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Memorial Services will be held on Sunday, January 9, 2022, 11:45 a.m. at the Cline-Hanson-Dahlke Life Celebration Center, Weyauwega with Carl Johnson officiating. Visitation will be held Sunday from 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. at the Cline-Hanson-Dahlke Life Celebration Center in Weyauwega.
