Gloudemans, Little Chute, age 85, loving father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, was received in the arms of the Lord and reunited once again with his wife on Wednesday, August 1, 2007, surrounded by his family at St. Elizabeth Hospital. Tony was born in Little Chute to the late Henry and Harriet "Hattie" (Vosters) Gloudemans on February 26, 1922. Tony's mother died when he was three years old. A few years later, Tony's father married Elizabeth (Molitor) Schumacher. Their combined families provided him with fourteen sisters and brothers. Tony was the last surviving child of this blended family. While attending St. John Schools, Tony helped out on the family farm. It was at a dance that Tony met the love of his life, Verna Van Hammond. Tony and Verna were married on June 22, 1944, at St. John Catholic Church in Little Chute. Together they were blessed with eighteen children, whom he loved dearly. Tony and Verna were married for 62 years before Verna died on July 4, 2006. Throughout his married life, Tony worked extremely hard to provide a wonderful home for his family. Early in his marriage, he continued to work on the family farm and helped out at the Little Chute Supply Company. Later on, he was employed as a Pulp Mill Supervisor at Thilmany Pulp and Paper Company in Kaukauna for 38 years before he retired in February 1984. He also worked very hard at home to help his wife with the daily work involved in raising such a large family. Each of his sons- and daughters-in-law was warmly welcomed into the family. Tony's love for children was very evident each time he interacted with one of his grandchildren or great-grandchildren. He was an excellent handyman. It has been said many times that if Tony couldn't fix something, it couldn't be fixed ... "Just put it by the road!" Tony was a devout Catholic and a member of St. John Nepomucene Parish. Praying was very important to Tony, and while raising his children, the rosary was part of their daily routine. On the afternoon before he died, Tony prayed the rosary at the hospital with his entire family. Tony will be sadly missed by his 17 surviving children: Joseph Gloudemans, Little Chute; Dennis (Karen) Gloudemans, Hilbert; Bonnie (Dennis) Feldkamp, Kaukauna; Judy (Wayne) Baumgart, Seymour; Nancy (Greg) Janssen, Little Chute; Jan (Dan) Biselx, Kaukauna; Joni (Gerry) Janssen, Kathy (Jeff) Jansen, Colleen (Oscar) Schuler, Tim (Kelly) Gloudemans, Mike (Kay) Gloudemans, Karen (Steve) Frassetto, Jeff (Julie) Gloudemans, Mary (Bob) Hietpas, Mark (Katy) Gloudemans, Chris (Terry) Coenen, and Todd Gloudemans, all of Little Chute; 51 grandchildren: Brian (Steph) Gloudemans, Jason (Gina) Gloudemans, Carmen (Chad) Ashmann, Sara Feldkamp, Julie (Raj) Pradhan, Michael, Anne, and Rachel Feldkamp, Karen (Chad) Zirbel, Craig (Wendy) Baumgart, Amy (Tom) Gard, Eric Baumgart, Michelle (Troy) Wilson, Tammy (Michael) James, Kelly Janssen, Christine (Ken) Munson, Cathy (Marty) McGee, Mark Biselx, Scott (Amy) Janssen, Luke, Ben, Peter, and Emily Janssen, Lisa (Peter) Pendleton, Beth (Chad) Verboomen, Julie (David) Lamers, David Jansen, Lori (Duane) Dissen, Chad (Sarah) Schuler, Katy Schuler, Adam, Luke, James, Stacy Gloudemans, Jill and Tony Gloudemans, Mark, Sarah, Luke, and Laura Frassetto, Ben and Rob Gloudemans, Nicholas, Tony, Scott, and Amy Hietpas, Ryan, Alex, and Brynn Gloudemans, Zach and Ashley Coenen; three step-grandchildren: Lindsay (Michael) Goss, Kimberly (Justin) Musser, Sarah (Justin) Hackbarth; 34 great-grandchildren; and five step-great-grandchildren.

Friends may call at the church Saturday from 10 a.m. until 12:15 p.m. directly at church. In lieu of flowers, a memorial is being established in Tony's name. The family would like to give a special thank-you to the 4th floor staff at St. Elizabeth Hospital and Dr. Phillip Yazbak, Dr. Nancy Homburg, and Dr. Jack Meyer for their assistance in helping us to care for our father, as well as Fr. Jim Habelewitz, Fr. Dave Funk, Fr. Patrick Beno, and Msgr. Jim Vanden Hogen, for their spiritual support. When we got the news that you were sick And doctors couldn't make it go away Our hearts were badly broken On that warm summer day We knew that one day you would leave us But it had been just one short year Since we sadly bid Mom farewell Hardly dry were our tears Since that day, you fought a noble fight You were always very strong You gave it everything you had You did everything right; nothing wrong Dad, you were always there for us Now it was our turn to do the same for you We gladly gave you comfort and care There were lots of prayers, hand holding, hugs, and kisses too God's plan for you was not the same as ours We had hoped to have you longer Of course, Mom always wanted you near her And her "pull" with the Lord was much stronger Dad, because you always tried your best You showed us the way to live Once God's plan for you was very clear, you showed us how to die What wonderful examples for you to give So farewell to you, our loving Dad Your place in Heaven is all set Give Mom a big kiss and hug for us You're together again; that's a sure bet Dad, we've been very blessed to call you "Our Father." We love you so very much, Your children O'CONNELL FUNERAL SERVICES
