Tim Endter, age 77, originally of Menasha, WI, passed away surrounded by loving family on Thursday, March 9th from complications of a recent illness. He was born on July 25, 1945, to his parents Emil and Phyllis (Grode) Endter, who preceded him in death. In recent years, he struggled with Parkinson’s Disease and was living under the attentive care of his eldest son and the amazing staff at Rosewood AFC in Ithaca, MI. Those who knew him will say that he finally succumbed to the broken heart he suffered in 2007 with the passing of his beloved wife of 43 years, Sharon (Eckes). He was further preceded in death by his sister Barbara (Abramson), and two brothers, Daniel and Kenneth.
He is survived by his son Robert (Rhonda) of Ithaca, MI, son William (Sarah) of Appleton, WI, brother Phillip (Mary) of Menasha, WI, brother Steve (Laureen) of DePere, WI, sister Mary Gaertner (Chris) of Waupaca, WI, six grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Tim worked most of his life for Hoffer Glass in Appleton, WI, and was proud to have worked on many of the area’s landmarks. He moved to Seymour, WI in 1990 to a beautiful, secluded property where he, Sharon, and their cherished cats were as happy as anyone could be. In true Wisconsin fashion, he enjoyed golfing and shooting in the summer, and bowling during the winter. Tim made many friends throughout those endeavors. He was a fun-loving man who always tried to make people laugh with his many voices and facial expressions. He was a joy to be around and will be greatly missed by many.
The family is being served by the Barden Funeral Home in Ithaca. Condolences may be left for the family online at www.bardenfuneralhome.com.
