The couple had celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 1961 and their 60th anniversary in 1971.

Survivors include his wife; three sons, Clarence Gaulke, Milwaukee, Edwin Gaulke, Wayland, Mich., and Warren Gaulke, Green Bay; three daughters, Mrs. Joe (Lorraine) Haas and Mrs. Richard (Esther) Uschold, both of Milwaukee, and Mrs. George (Irene) Schecklman, Chili; 24 grandchildren; and 32 great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by a daughter, Mrs. Walter Roehl, on Nov. 15, 1972, six brothers, four sisters, and four half-sisters.
