Obituary:
Glen W. Lappen, Kaukauna. age 85, passed away on Thursday, June 20, 2013, surrounded by his family at St. Paul Elder Services after a brave battle with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Glen was born on November 27, 1927 in Kaukauna, the son of the late Joseph and Alma (Borree) Lappen. After graduating from Kaukauna High School in 1945, Glen enlisted in the Navy from 1945 - 1947. He served and participated in "Operations Crossroads Atomic Bomb Testing" in the Marshall Islands. Glen served his country proudly and was proud to be a Navy Veteran. Glen was employed at Thilmany Paper Mill for over 40 years until his retirement. In his retirement years he loved to take care of all of his grandchildren. They became the light of his life! He also enjoyed the addition of his lake home at Legend Lake where he could fix more things, relax on his pontoon boat, fishing, and eating Cheetos surrounded by his best fur friends; Maggie and DJ. Glen was a very faith filled man and an active member of St. Aloysius parish for many years. He was happiest with a dog at his side and a baby to rock on his lap!
Glen met and married the "love of his life", Patricia (Taylor) Lappen on October 6, 1951 in Kaukauna, she survives. From that marriage came 4 children (all whom survive him today): son: Tom (Mary) and their 2 daughters: Rebecca, Appleton and Elizabeth, Pennsylvania; twin daughters: Kay (Michel) DeYoung, Appleton, WI and her 2 sons: Matthew Verhagen, Appleton and Joshua Verhagen, Kaukauna; Karen (Dean) Sinclair, Jackson, WI and their 2 daughters: Lieza Sinclair, Kaukauna and Lauren (Nate) Evans, Milwaukee; son, Tim (Michelle Neeck) Lappen and their daughter; Chloe Lappen, Appleton; great-grandchildren: Elijah (Buddy) Sinclair, twins: Faith and Will Evans, Audrey Evans and Nahla Sinclair. Glen is further survived by his brother Bill (Ellen) Lappen, Oconto Falls, WI; 2 brothers-in-law: William (Branca) Taylor, Littleton, CO and Richard (Marge) Taylor; sister-in-law: Mary (Taylor) and Carl Engerson, Mobile, AL; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his: parents, 2 brothers and a sister-in-law, Robert, Don (Mary) Lappen, mother-in-law and father-in-law, Marie Taylor McGinnis and Lyle McGinnis.
