Frank G. Neu

I met Frank almost 30 years ago when I first started work at Highsmith…we were in different work areas but we got to know each other in the break room….which led to going out for lunch occasionally with the guys or just the 2 of us. He introduced me to extra crispy french-fries which I continue to ask for all the time. We talked about our interests in sports and hunting, his fishing, his interest in racquetball, his love for art & carving, his poker group, his place up north and our kids and grandkids. He talked a lot about his son Pat and daughter Debby and also Andrea and her solid work ethic, and his grandkids, and how proud he was of all of them. Frank retired a couple years ahead of me and when I retired, we golfed more frequently together and also went to sports and carving shows. And of course, many many more lunches. I think his favorite lunch place was Babes. My fondest remembrance of Frank is that he was a real stand-up guy, a man’s man if you will. He was highly respected at work, and honest, generous, friendly, plus a family man, tried and true. When my time is over, I look forward to meeting up with Frank again…and share more conversation and maybe some extra crispy french- fries. Bob Hartwig

GOD BLESS YOU FRANK....MY SYMPATHIES WITH YOU ANDREA AND YOUR FAMILY..OTIS

My sincere condolences to the family of Frank G. Neu – It was not the Creator’s purpose for mankind to suffer (Romans 5:12). May the Creator give you peace through his promise to comfort us (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4). I hope that you are consoled by Bible promises of a hopeful future (John 17:3).

It was great having some time together in the last several years, catching up and sharing old memories. One of my favorite memories that we just last fall laughed about - I worked with Frank early in our friendship as an artist, talking a lot about watercolor. Frank had not realized that he always painted his ducks flying the same way. One day I told him he should branch out and try painting his ducks flying in a different direction. He told me I needed to work on my tree stumps! My critique of his "ducks" didn't seem to threaten our friendship though, and I am grateful for that! So long for now, my Friend. I'll see you on the other side of the lake! Win Jones

My sincere sympathy to Andrea, Debbie, Pat, John and the whole Neu family for their loss. I was blessed and lucky to become neighbors with Frank and Andrea about 11 years ago. I enjoyed going for coffee, fishing, watching the Packers, Badgers and Tiger Woods with Frank. I have many fond memories of spending time with Frank including him and I tackling the lighting of our large evergreen tree between our condos. Frank truly carved the phrase “A Kind Great Guy”, because he truly was! We will all see him again soon……......Bob Mathews
