Eugene R. Klink, 89, of the town of Lomira, passed away on Sunday, July 10, 2022, at St. Agnes Hospital in Fond du Lac with his family at his side.

Eugene was born on the farm on October 1, 1932, in the town of Lomira, the son of the late Eugene and Leona (nee Borgman) Klink. On November 9, 1955, he was united in marriage to Mary Ann Thelen at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Lomira. Mary Ann preceded Eugene in death on January 19, 2003. In his younger years, Eugene sang with the Milwaukee Symphony for several years. He was a lifelong dairy farmer in the town of Lomira, where he grew up, and was known for his high-grade registered Holsteins. The animals were his passion, they knew and responded to his singing voice. Eugene’s faith and dairy farming were his life.
