  Jerald H. Wittman, 83, of Racine, passed away May 15, 2010 at Burlington Memorial Hospital. He was born June 22, 1926 to Herman and Margaret (Smith) Wittman in Peshtigo, WI. His family later moved to Kaukauna, WI. At the young age of 17 he enlisted in the Navy and served two years in the Asiatic-Pacific, Philippines, and Japanese areas. He earned the Asiatic Pacific Ribbon 4 Stars, the Philippine Liberation Ribbon 1 Star, the Victory Ribbon, and the American Area Ribbon. Following his military service, Jerry lived for many years in Appleton and worked as a painter. Jerry moved to Union Grove in the early sixties. On October 24, 1967, he married Ellen (Wicks) Schaetten who preceded him in death on December 23, 1997. He continued to work as a painter for Southern Colony and retired from the Village of Union Grove. After retirement he worked for the Metro Auto Auction. With encouragement from his late son-in-law, Joe, Jerry took up golfing and spent a lot of time "chasing that little white ball around in the grass." Jerry always enjoyed having breakfast on Thursday mornings with his friends from the Metro Auto Auction. He was a member of the Union Grove American Legion. Jerry attended the Navy reunions every year. Jerry is survived by his son, Robert (Nancy) Wittman, Green Bay, WI, three daughters, Joann (Mark) Young, Appleton, WI, Jan (Richard) Langlois, Minneapolis, MN, and Jean (Bruce) Rogers, Appleton, WI, nine grandchildren, Scott (Amy) Wittman, Keith (Heather) Wittman, Kevin (Rhonda) Young, Rebecca (James) McNally, Bryce Rogers, Jaclyn Rogers, Jessica Rogers, Ryan Langlois, and Kelsey (Tony) Langlois, and six great-grandchildren. He is further survived by his step-children, Darlene (Larry) Burchell, Christine Alton, Marcine (Leslie) Reeck, and Bernene Kingery, 12 step-grandchildren, 18 step-great-grandchildren, and 2 step-great-great grandchildren. Burial with graveside service and full military honors will take place on June 2, 2010 at 11:30 AM at the Union Grove Memorial Cemetery. The family requests that donations be made in Jerry's name to the charity of your choice.
