Roy O. Spearbraker Roy Otto Spearbraker, age 92 of Clintonville, passed away on Sunday, September 21, 2008 at the Greentreen Health and Rehabilitation Center, Clintonville Roy was born on March 22, 1916 in Marion, WI, the son of the late John and Helen (Keller) Spearbraker. During his school years in Clintonville he worked as a grocery delivery boy for the Henry Laux Meat Market. Roy graduated from Clintonville High School in 1933. As a graduation gift from his uncles, Augie and Cecil Keller, Roy was taken on a six-week canoe trip into the Quetico Superior Boundary Waters bordering the United States and Canada. The trip into this primitive wilderness involved “living off the land” – you ate what you caught or trapped. In 1940 Roy owned and operated a gas station in Weyauwega. While in Weyauwega he met and later married Eileen Fuerst of Waupaca. In November of 1941 he enlisted as a Cadet in the U.S. Army Air Force. Roy and Eileen were married October 17, 1942 in Oxnard, California. During WWII he served with the 1262nd Air Transport Command in North Africa and the Middle East. After WWII he and Eileen returned to Clintonville where Roy worked for Charlie Bockhaus in the Tog Shop until 1951 when he was called back to the Air Force during the Korean War. After the war he went back to the Tog Shop. He was a member of the Clintonville Masonic Lodge, the American Legion Post #63, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #664 of Clintonville. In 1961 he was appointed as the Northeast Wisconsin agent for the Equitable Life Assurance Society. He retired in 1979. Then he and Eileen really enjoyed fishing, hunting, the operas, and other musical shows throughout the mid-west. They were always at each other’s side. Since Eileen’s death in 2003, Roy reflected, “ She was everything. The past years without her are nothing.” Roy’s attitude could be summed up as Frederick Remington quoted. “I never intend to do a great amount of labor. I have but one short life and I do not aspire to wealth nor fame in a degree which could only be obtained by an extraordinary effort on my part.” Survivors Include: Distant nieces, nephews and cousins He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife; Eileen and his brother; James Spearbraker. Gathering of friends and visitation will be held from 12 noon until 1 P.M.
