Biography:
WILLIAM J. CONLON, born December 14, 1873, in New London, Waupaca county, Wisconsin, and now living on 180 acres of good farming land in section 24, Deer Creek township, Outagamie county, is a son of Michael and Margaret (Cooney) Conlon, the former a native of Ireland and the latter of the State of Indiana. They were married in New London, Wisconsin, whence the father had come when twenty-six years of age, Mrs. Conlon having come here in the early days with her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Conlon lived in New London until 1895 when they bought the place now operated by William J. Conlon, but in 1901 they returned to New London, where they still reside, the father being seventy-two years of age and the mother fifty-six. With the exception of the six years spent in Deer Creek township, Mr. Conlon was in the employ of the railroad company at New London during his residence in this country. William J. Conlon was the eldest of his parents' nine children, and he remained at home with his parents, taking charge of the Deer Creek farm in 1901, in which year he was married to Mary A. McGlone, daughter of Patrick and Ellen (McMyler) McGlone, and born February 11, 1879. Six children have been born to this union: Margaret, Mary, William, Alice, Edward and Richard. Ever since his marriage Mr. Conlon has continued to reside on this farm, and he now has seventy acres cleared and under cultivation and all fenced with barbed wire. He does general farming, markets dairy products, hogs and cattle, feeds his grain and hay, and raises Durham cattle, Poland-China hogs and Percheron horses. He built his modern frame house of eight rooms, 16x24 and 16x26 feet, in 1899, and the barn, which was one of the buildings on the place at the time of its purchase is a structure 30x50 feet. Mr. Conlon is a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters and of the Fraternal Reserve Association. He is a Republican in politics and is now chairman of the township board of supervisors, and has served four previous terms on the board, during two of which he was chairman. He and the members of his family are consistent attendants of the Catholic Church of Helena, a mission of St. Mary's Catholic Church of Welcome.

Evan was born at home on the family farm in the Town of Maine, Outagamie County on April 12, 1939 to Cecil and Evelyn (Conlon) Carpenter. He graduated from Clintonville High School, Class of 1957. Evan met the Love of his life Bonnie at the Caroline Ballroom. On June 5, 1960, Evan married his dancing sweetheart Bonnie Jean Radtke at St. John's Lutheran Church in Marion, Wisconsin. After they married, the happy couple made their home in Appleton, recently celebrating 55 years of a wonderful life together.
Evan was a self-taught heavy equipment mechanic at Superior Electric Co. (Michels Power) where he thoroughly enjoyed working for 37 years, retiring in 2004. His co-workers became lifelong friends who Evan enjoyed meeting for the retirees monthly breakfast.
Evan and Bonnie enjoyed their countless memories of good times with their many dear friends and family; especially LeRoy & Dar, Monte & Sal, Lynn & Dale, Phyliss & Don and Bill & Sandy. They also shared many laughs with the friendly staff and company while enjoying Brandy Old-Fashioneds and perch at Dick & Joan's Supper Club. Bonnie and Evan enjoyed dancing the Polish Hop to Polka music. They could be found dancing circles around everyone at the Cinderella or Caroline Ballrooms every Saturday night for many years.
Evan began his racing career in the 1960s on dirt tracks throughout Northeastern Wisconsin, including the half mile dirt track of KK Sports Arena (WIR). His second racing career took off in the 1980's and continued through 2008. As crew chief for his sons, Doug and Dan, he was a constant fixture in the pits at WIR ensuring the 88 and 28 cars were always race ready. He was awarded the honor of being a Lifetime Member of the Fox River Racing Club for his years of service to the club.
Evan was a devoted father who was involved with all of the boys' events, especially baseball. He loved watching the boys grow up on the baseball diamond, from coaching tee ball to attending every possible Little League, Babe Ruth, High School and Legion baseball game. He particularly enjoyed driving the Legion team bus, "Ole Blue". His fatherly devotion continued with the grandkids. Wherever one of the gang had an event (dance, sports, music) you would find Grandpa and Grandma. In between the family's many activities, Evan and Bonnie loved to travel. In 2007 they vacationed to Alaska, completing a visit to each and every one of the 50 states along with Canada and Mexico.
Evan will be greatly missed by his loving wife, Bonnie; children, Doug (Dawn), Dennis (Annette Arens), Don (Kelley) and Dan (Barb); Grandchildren, Benjamin (special friend Carly Rietveld), Desiree (special friend Dylan Kaufert), Brock, Andrea, Alexander, Zachary (special friend Alexis Rae Shannon), Adam, Tyler and his great-grandson, Brody.
Evan is further survived by his sister, Phyliss (Don) Goltz; brother-in-law, Bill (Sandy) Radtke and numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and dear friends.
Evan was preceded in death by his parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law Martin and Evelyn (Sieber) Radtke, brother-in-law Floyd Fritz and brother-in-law Robert Radtke.
The funeral service for Evan will be held on Thursday, April 14, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. at ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH, 912 N. Oneida Street, Appleton. Visitation will take place on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 starting at 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. at Wichmann Funeral Home, 537 N. Superior Street, Appleton.

The family would like to thank all of those who provided the outstanding care he received, including Dr. Yao and the staff at Fox Valley Hematology and Oncology; the entire staff at Appleton Retirement Community, especially the girls that became part of Evan's family, and ThedaCare at Home Hospice. We would especially like to thank all of the visitors and many friends for all of their thoughts and prayers during this challenging time. We love you Dad, Godspeed!
