John E. Woletz, age 73, of Eau Claire, died on Tuesday, October 14, 2014 at his home.

He was born on September 14, 1941 to the late Mildred "Mitzie" (Anderson) and John "Huntz" Woletz. After graduating from Eau Claire Memorial High School, he received his B.S. Degree from UW-EC in 1964 with a major in business education and minors in Economics and History. He was enlisted with the local National Guard Mechanized Infantry Battalion for six years, obtaining the rank of E-5. John worked for Uniroyal as a supervisor in different departments retiring after 27 plus years of service in June 1991.

John had many, many good days hunting turkeys, pheasants, and deer along with trips to Lake Michigan fishing for salmon. "Rusty," his Irish setter, was John's best pheasant hunting partner. John was humble about his 36 years of absolute sobriety. This led John to his belief in Christianity and was a member of Saving Grace Lutheran Church (LCMC).

He is survived by his brother, Robert "Bob" of Eau Claire; nephews, Joel (Pam) Woletz of Eau Claire and Brad (friend, Joan) Woletz of Ellsworth; great nephews and nieces, Christopher "C.J.", Samuel "Sam" (Jas), Mollie and Maggie Woletz all of Eau Claire; great, great niece, Ivy; many cousins, other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his infant brother, Paul, and many other relatives.

Honoring a life with a meaningful service is an important step in the grief process and is a gift to their family and friends —
a gift of memories and a gift of healing
