Irving Klemm

Irving “Buck” Klemm of the Willow Region, passed away peacefully at his home on Thursday, Feb. 18, 2021 joining the love of his life, Lillian in heaven.  Buck was born Feb. 18, 1929 in Rib Lake to Ernest and Margaret Klemm. In June of 1950 Buck married Lillian Tilch in Greenwood. After raising their four children in Menomonee Falls and retiring from Briggs and Stratton, Buck and Lil retired to the Willow Region in 1986. The Willow Region was an area Buck visited and enjoyed from his youth and he immediately became in involved with the community he loved. Buck was a leader at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, a longtime member of the Willow Region Fire Department, and key to the success of building the Willow Region Sportsman Club. Rarely would there be an event, project, or job to be done that Buck was not involved in. He was an avid sportsman and conservationist, from hunting ducks at Horicon, countless hours fishing on the Willow Flowage, and endless hours working on snowmobile trails. Buck had a special place in his heart for the Michler Hunting Club in Lugerville. The members of the club will be eternally grateful for the efforts of Buck and his brother, Bunny for leaving them a truly wonderful hunting paradise.
