Departed: 11/25/2023 (Luck)

Obituary Preview: Wayne Oliver Giller, born on June 25, 1956, left this world on November 25, 2023, at the age of 67. His departure leaves a void in the hearts of those who knew and cherished him.

Wayne was the beloved son of Oliver and Louella Giller, both of whom preceded him. He is survived by his siblings: Charlotte Anderson, Lorraine Korts, and Cheryl Hart. Wayne's legacy continues through his children: Nicholas, Krista, Jeremy, Rená, Trevor, and Julie, as well as his grandchildren Azilee, Oliver, and Hazel.

Wayne touched the lives of many, including dear friends Shirley Barenz, Melonie Mack, Tanya Mack, and Steve & Susan Jensen. Some, like his parents, sister LaVonne, and brother Gary had already embarked on their next journey.

Wayne lived a life full of passion and joy. He found solace in the warmth of campfires surrounded by family and friends. His loyal companion, Hanna, shared in his love for the great outdoors. Known for his uncanny ability to fix or build anything, Wayne's hands were never idle.

A true outdoorsman, Wayne enjoyed logging and the tranquility of nature. He had a rhythm for life, relishing in music and, when the mood struck, breaking into dance. Fishing was not just a pastime but a source of genuine joy for Wayne.

In the cozy corners of his kitchen, Wayne hosted memorable eggnog and herring parties, always ensuring the coffee pot was on for entertaining conversations. A skilled chef and grill master, he delighted in preparing meals for loved ones. His intellect shone through in his love for tackling the New York Times crossword puzzle.

Services to celebrate Wayne’s life will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, December 8, 2023 at Bone Lake Lutheran Church (1101 255th Ave, Luck, WI 54853) with visitation one hour prior to the service.

As we gather to bid farewell to Wayne, let us remember the man who embraced life with a hearty laugh, a quick wit, and a generous spirit. May his legacy of warmth, laughter, and the joy of simple pleasures live on in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him.

Doris Jane (Larson) Gullickson - May 20, 1930 - September 13, 2023

Departed: 09/13/2023 (Luck)

Obituary Preview: Doris Jane (Larson) Gullickson, 93 of Milltown passed away in the early morning of Wednesday, September 13, 2023 at the Amery Regional Medical Center. Doris Oliver was born on May 20, 1930 to Thomas Oliver and Mary Warner Oliver in Baltimore, Maryland.

Doris attended school in Baltimore and graduated from Southern High School. Doris met the love of her life, Dale Larson, roller skating in Baltimore where Dale was stationed in the Army. On September 9, 1948 they were wed. Then they moved back to Milltown to Dale's home to start their family. Together they grew their family to include their children Tom, Bruce, Roger, Linda, Lori, Jim, and Nancy. Doris was a homemaker all of her life, taking care of her family and grandchildren. She enjoyed going dancing and listening to Dale play his accordion in the band.

Her love of the outdoors found her watching the birds gather around her bird feeders, the deer which would run through the yard, and recently watching thirty turkeys run through the yard. She loved watching for her cardinals and would feed the birds and other animals that would pass through. It was also her fun nature to enjoy watching for the wildlife that would come out of the neighboring corn field, like the bears, coyotes, and fox. She would love to go for rides, especially Crex Meadows, looking for swans. Going out to eat was a great way to get out of the house too.

After Dale passed away in 1973, she met Floyd Gullickson. They were wed on December 28, 1977. Doris would travel with Floyd all over the United States as he was on business trips for Fisher Wood Stoves. She really enjoyed travelling. Floyd passed in 1991. Friends and family helped her since then. A couple of special friends included Calvin Anderson and Delbert Sands. Her friends at the VFW were also special to her.

Doris leaves to celebrate her memory: her children; Tom, Milltown; Bruce (Marcy), Hayward; Roger, Milltown; Linda (Roger) Giller, Luck; Lori, Balsam Lake; Jim (Dodie), Milltown; 13 grandchildren; 29 great grandchildren; 1 great-great granddaughter and other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, in-laws Kenneth and Olga Larson, her first husband Dale Larson, her second husband Floyd Gullickson, her daughter Nancy Burton, her grandson Ky Larson, her daughter in law June Larson (Tom), her brother Tom, sisters Elizabeth and Rose, and special friends and family.

The funeral service for Doris will be held on Wednesday, September 20 at 11:00am at the Joy Lutheran Church in Centuria (501 WI-35, Centuria, WI 54824). Pastor Angie Kutney will officiate.

Alan "Al" R. Pearson - January 29, 1948 - August 27, 2023

Departed: 08/27/2023 (Luck)

Obituary Preview: Alan R. Pearson (75) passed away on Sunday, August 27th, with his family at his side.

Alan grew up on his family farm in Atlas and was forever grateful for the childhood years he spent “running wild” outdoors, which taught him to be curious, adventurous, and self-sufficient. He attended Oak Hill School in his youth, graduated from Luck High School, and earned his B.S. in Biology and Math from the University of Wisconsin River Falls. After college, Al worked for the University of Minnesota Computer Center, where he met Patty, and they married in 1976. The two of them returned to Atlas, where he began his 20-year career in dairy farming. His love for all things technology and data-related brought him to Hazelden, where he worked as a data analyst for 12 years. Although he loved this work, he eventually expressed that his day job was interfering with his countless other interests and projects, so he retired at age 61. Al spent the next 14 years enjoying telling people that he “had the day off” while pouring his time and energy into woodworking, gardening, various citizen science projects, reading, traveling, and spending time with his family.

Alan liked to “make stuff.” He built a telescope, grinding the lens for it by hand, and took pride in restoring antique hand tools and using them for his many woodworking projects, adding intricate details that required a great deal of time, skill, and patience. When he wasn’t in his workshop, you’d find him outside, working in his many vegetable and flower gardens, walking the dog, planting native wildflower plots, building and installing birdhouses (including an osprey nest platform) or hunting for bargains at nearby (or distant) flea markets. When the weather forced him back inside, you’d find Al reading, listening to NPR, watching foreign films, or playing Mahjong with Patty and his friends. He also delighted in discovering, cooking, and, most of all, eating eclectic cuisines. He often said, “You only have so many meals in life. Make them count..” Most of all, Alan devoted himself to his family. He and Patty were happily married for 47 years, sharing many adventures, big and small. He showed his love in creative ways, and for anniversaries he would often get her a “big rock,” literally hauling in a boulder on his front-loader and installing it as decor on their property. He was a strong and loving father, encouraging his kids to balance being fun-loving and driven and never losing an opportunity to tell them a joke or to push them to make the most of their opportunities. His granddaughters adored him, looking forward to their scheduled “granddaughter days,” when they would read books on his lap, play games, learn the craft of woodworking, go on walks, stargaze, or just enjoy a good “chin-wag” (conversation.)

Alan was preceded in death by his parents (Roy and Paula Pearson). He is survived by his wife, Patty Pearson; children Amanda Wicklund (Karl Wicklund), Dan Pearson (Leah Patriarco), Teresa Pearson (Tristan Summers); granddaughters Anika, Hazel, and Violet; and his furry friend, Cody.
