He married the love of his life, Elaine Schonhoff on May 30,1961 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Sinsinawa, Wisconsin. John’s greatest success was his family – 7 children, 15 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. He was their biggest fan. John was a longstanding, faithful member of Immaculate Conception Parish, Kieler, Wisconsin. He was very active in the Kieler community, serving many years on the fire department, playing in bowling leagues, and playing with his favorite co-ed volleyball team. John was a hard-working dairy farmer for over 40 years. After selling the cows, he continued to work the land with help from his boys, while working different jobs off the farm. In his retirement, John finally found time to enjoy his passion for woodworking. His favorite pastime was fishing with family. He also enjoyed his fishing trips to Canada. We will miss John more than words can say, but we know he’s at peace now, and his battle with Alzheimer’s is finally over. Those left to cherish John’s memory are his wife, Elaine; four daughters, Pam (Kevin) Doyle, Galena, IL, Jacque (Jeff) Bohr, Dubuque, IA, Janet Droessler and Karen (Jim) Rouse, both of Madison, WI; three sons, Rusty (Diane) Droessler, Dickeyville, Marty (special friend, Molly Fuller) Droessler, Kieler, and Jamie (Natalie) Droessler, Black Earth, WI; one sister, Rita Schultz; one brother, Dennis (Mary Beth) Droessler; a brother-in-law, Dave Scott; a sister-in-law, Juana Droessler; a brother-in-law, Bob (Barb) Schonhoff; grandchildren, Tim (Lindsy) Vincent, Mike (Heather) Vincent, Jon (Anna) Doyle, Fallon (Matt) Oldenburg, Jonathon, Justin, and Jenna Droessler, Jake and Joey Bohr, Alex and Owen Rouse, Katelyn and Brooklyn Droessler, and Brett and Avery Droessler; and great-grandchildren, Jack, Cooper and Addy Vincent, Leah, Liza and Elyse Vincent, and Leo Oldenburg. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ray and Louisa Droessler; sisters, Rose Ann (LaVern) Vaassen, Darlene (Bob) Lange, and Jeanette Scott; brothers, Joe Droessler, Burnell Droessler and a brother at birth; brother-in-law, John Soards; father-in-law and mother-in-law, John and Basilla Schonhoff; and sisters-in-law, Pat (Bob) McLaughlin and Mary (Ed) Snyder.
