Gilbert Neumeyer

Gilbert H. Neumeyer, 91, of Sheboygan, passed away Thursday, November 21, 2019 at Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice. Gilbert was born November 7, 1928, on the family farm in St. Nazianz, to the late Herbert and Lydia (Burkart) Neumeyer. He married the former Lou Ann Madson. He retired from Kohler Company as a tool maker and later as a tour guide.
His last words were "I love all my children and I'm proud of them. Lou Ann was an angel that was sent to me and took good care of me." They enjoyed traveling, snorkeling, swimming, cross country skiing and ice cream.
He was very active in many sports such as high school basketball, track and baseball. With his son Chris he enjoyed cross country skiing, remodeling homes, golf, bowling, biking and riding around on the farm he grew up on in his golf cart while reminiscing of a happy childhood when they farmed with horses.
He was very close to all his siblings and was thankful for all the gifts that God gave him. The world was fortunate to have had him. He will be remembered by his children as an upstanding man, a teacher, confidant, counselor and best friend.
In addition to his wife, Lou Ann, he is survived by three children, Chris (Jennifer) Neumeyer, Debra Fritz and Cindy Neumeyer; six grandchildren; thirteen great-grandchildren; five great-great-grandchildren; two brothers, Richard Neumeyer and James (Dorothy) Neumeyer; four sisters, Dela Reinboldt, Virginia Berg, Jeanette Klauck, Shirley (LeRoy) Arndt and his step-son-in-law, John Stange.
