  Elmer William Kunstman, 85, Appleton, surrounded by his loving family, departed Brewster Village on Saturday evening, Dec. 6, 2008, to be with God in his eternal home. He was born on Nov. 7, 1923, in Seymour, Wis., to Henry and Laura (Snell) Kunstman. Growing up, he excelled in many sports, especially basketball and track. He was a combat veteran of World War II in the Pacific Theatre. He retired after 34 years from the U.S. Postal Service. He was an active member of Faith Lutheran Church for many years where he was a Boy Scout leader of Boy Scout Troop 73. He also was an usher and worked in the Sunday School office. Before Alzheimer's took his memory, Elmer was a generous, gentle man and a friend to all. He always held his hand out in greeting. He is survived by his wife, Marilyn (Frailing) Kunstman; sons, Steven (Julie) Kunstman, Combined Locks; Dr. James Kunstman, Kansas City, Kan.; Dr. Thomas (Dr. Sheila Ling) Kunstman, Boulder, Colo.; Dr. David (Shannon) Kunstman, Madison; grandchildren, Ann (Jon) Robbins, John Kunstman, Christy (Dave) Gott, Matthew (Brooke) Kunstman, Michael Kunstman, Justin, Ben, and Emma Kunstman, Ella, Sophia and Joshua Kunstman; seven great-grandchildren; brothers, Leonard (Carol) Kunstman and Donald (Joyce) Kunstman; sister-in-law, Kathryn Kunstman. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Harvey Kunstman. A Celebration of Elmer's life will be at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 13, 2008, at Faith Lutheran Church (601 E. Glendale) Appleton. Friends may visit the family from 10 a.m. until the time of service on Saturday at the church. In lieu of flowers, Elmer's family has established memorial funds in Elmer's name. The family will always be thankful that Elmer was fortunate to spend his final years as a resident of Brewster Village, Cedars Wing. The staff cared for him with love and compassion. Their dedication vastly exceeded our expectations and we will be grateful for their friendship forever. Valley Funeral Home 2211 N. Richmond Street Appleton, WI 54911 920-733-5435
