John J. Aulik, 80, Ashwaubenon, was accompanied by his family of loved ones as he peacefully passed on to be with his Lord and Savior on Saturday morning, Sept. 1, 2007, at a local hospital. John was alert and able to talk to and even bless each family member there. John was joyful and witnessing to the end. He was born on Sept. 28, 1926 in Kewaunee County. In 1951, he married the former Germaine Dhuey in Casco and on July 18, 2007, they celebrated 56 wonderful years together. John grew up in Kewaunee County. He served honorably in the U.S. Navy from Sept., 1944 to Aug., 1947. He served on the USS Leyte as an Airborne Radioman. After service, John attended Normal School for Teaching in Algoma and St. Norbert College, De Pere. He enjoyed attending the Catholic Diocese Holy Name Retreat House on Chambers Island for over 50 years. He made this an annual tradition with his wife, sons and grandsons. John worked for AT&T Telephone Co. for over 30 years and was a member of the Telephone Pioneers. John and Germaine were active members of Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus Ashwaubenon Council 7498. He was a very loving and kind husband, father and grandfather. He lived his life by example. Let my every deed follow my faith. Blessed are they who die in the Lord for their good deeds will follow them. - Revelations 14:13 May the Lord bless you and keep you. May His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. May He look upon you kindly and grant you His everlasting peace. By His stripes, you are healed - Numbers 6:24-26
