Harry
Ivon Steinruck, age 64, of Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin died
on Wednesday, September 6, 2006 at the Meriter Hospital in
Madison, Wisconsin.
Harry was born on June 3, 1942 in Grand Rapids, Michigan,
the son of Harry and Ellen Steinruck. After the loss of his
father, his mother remarried and they lived in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin.
He lived in the Milwaukee area for a number of years, and
worked as a soil engineer. Harry, as a young man, started
spending many weekends and vacations in the Adams County
area. He felt there wasn�t a better place to enjoy his
favorite hobbies which included hunting, fishing, trapping
and camping. He loved the area so much that he bought a home
in White Creek, Wisconsin and made it his permanent
residence about 10 years ago. For the last few years he
worked at Coldwater Canyon Golf Course.
Over the years Harry also developed a love for
photography and woodworking. He especially loved to
photograph nature in any element and make items using a wood
lathe. When you visited Harry you would most often find him
sitting on his deck with a cup of coffee in front of him and
just enjoying the sites and sounds of nature around him. He
has instilled his love of nature in all of his children.
Harry loved to share his hobbies with family and friends and
those times will be remembered with fondness and
gratefulness in their hearts.
Harry had an accident a year ago and was no longer able
to enjoy most of his favorite hobbies. His family consoles
themselves with the knowledge that he no longer suffers pain
daily and the hope that someday they will all be together
again.
Harry was preceded in death by his parents, stepfather,
two of his sons; Paul Steinruck, and Tony Reinhart, and his
second wife, Toni Sanger.

Harry did not want a formal memorial service and his
family is respecting his final wish. An informal gathering
open to anyone who wishes to come will be held at the Lions
Park in White Creek, Wisconsin on Saturday, September 16,
2006 from 1pm to 3pm. The family asks that instead of
sending or bringing flowers that a donation to the American
Heart Association or another charity be made in remembrance
of him.
The family would also like to express their thanks to
Roseberry�s Funeral Home & Crematory for their assistance
with the arrangements of the cremation of their beloved
father, grandfather, great grandfather, husband and friend
Harry Steinruck.
