John Ormson

John Harlen Ormson passed away peacefully at Oconomowoc Memorial Hospital on Thursday, February 4, 2010 at the age of 66. He was surrounded by the love of his family and friends when the Lord took him home. Born March 19, 1943 in Hartford, Wisconsin. John was the owner and president of Ormson Corporation Fast Vacs in Hartland, Wisconsin. His passion for classic cars grew into a business (Classic Iron) of selling cars and that was only trumped by the joy he found trolling the waters of Wisconsin for Muskies. A few years ago, while fishing on Pewaukee Lake, a lone duck took a shine to Johnny and followed him around the lake. Every time John returned to the lake, the duck would soon show up. One day, the duck decided to get in the boat and sit along side John as he fished. They became fishing buddies. John was an honest, intelligent, hard working man with an edgy sense of humor, always ready to help a friend and equally as ready to enjoy a good party. Above all, he loved and cared for his family and friends. He will be missed by many including a lone duck on Pewaukee Lake. John was preceded in death by his parents. John is survived by his cherished wife, Karin and dear daughters Jenny, Jill, Kim (Bill) Dixon, Lisa (Dan) Klink. He is further survived by his loving grandchildren Andrea, Hannah, Matthew and Augie,great grandson Carson, brothers Bill (Josephine) Ormson, Dan (Judy) Ormson, sisters Beverly and Mary, along with many other relatives and friends. The family would like to give a special thanks to the caring staff in the ICU department at the Oconomowoc Memorial Hospital and Dr. Sidhu and RN Keri. A funeral service will be held on Tuesday, February 9, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. at Pagenkopf Funeral Home. Visitation will be from 3:00 p.m. until time of service at the funeral home. Memorials are suggested to the family for a future donation to a charity of their choice. The family is being served by Pagenkopf Funeral Home.
