James "Jim" R. Gleason

James R. (Jim) Gleason, 82, of Schofield, WI, passed away peacefully with his family by his side on December 28th, 2022.

James was a committed man to his family and will be lovingly remembered and missed by his two daughters Connie Gleason and Dawn (James) Steiner, loving sweety Judy King, his six grandchildren, numerous great grandchildren, family, and friends.

James was born on the 2nd of July 1940 at St. Marys hospital in Wausau, WI and grew up in Schofield, WI. James was the definition of a hard worker and in 1967 went to work at Foremost Dairies for 31 years earning his retirement.

After retirement James’s focus was to not only to enjoy his life but to enjoy the lives of his loved ones that surrounded him. James always supported his family’s sports and extracurricular activities serving as their number one fan.

James had a deep love for his religion and was a committed member of St. Therese Parish. James ensured he was present every Sunday for Mass, always willing to help others.  James’s favorite past time was to go on scenic adventures with his loving sweety Judy. James was a diehard Green Bay Packers fan, loved to watch NASCAR, and liked to spend some time in Casinos to win the jackpot but bingo would suffice if need be.

James is now at peace joining his parents Mark and Esther, brothers Jerome and Kenneth    Gleason, sister Sharon Bickert, and his companion Chunky. He is survived by his two daughters Connie and Dawn, loving sweety Judy, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and mother of his children.

James’s funeral services will be 3:00pm at the St. Therese Catholic Church in Rothschild, WI on the 6th of January 2023. There will be a visitation from 2:00pm to 3:00pm followed by a service all at the church.

The family asks in lieu of flowers, donations to James’s memorial being established is greatly appreciated.

“I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck.”

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My fathers house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” John 14:1-3
