Ralph C. Fiedorowicz, 73, Town of BEAVER, passed away Friday 11-3-2017. He was born 7-30-1944 in the Town of BEAVER to Vincent and Laura (Tadish) Fiedorowicz. He served his country in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. On 8-30-1997, he was united in marriage to Angeline Brzozowski. She preceded him in death on 6-3-2007. On 6-11-2014, Ralph married his favorite dance partner, Bonnie Laskowski. He was employed by the Coleman canning company and later by Fort Howard Paper for 32 years until… his retirement.
Ralph was active in his community. He was a member of St. Mary’s Parish in Crivitz and was a life member and served on the board of the Coleman United Shipping Association as well as the BEAVER Cemetery Association. Ralph was also president of the Oconto Falls Senior Card Club. He was a member and past chaplain of the BEAVER/Pound VFW post.
In his spare time, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, card playing as well as cutting wood. He loved Polka music and was often the first one on the floor and the last one off it. Ralph enjoyed all the country roads in his beloved Town of BEAVER and never took the same route getting home.
