Harry W. Struensee, 76, of Neillsville passed away peacefully with his family and beloved dog by his side, Monday, Nov. 2, 2009.  Harry’s wishes were that no funeral services be held. 
 

Harry William Struensee was born Sept. 15, 1933, in Neillsville, the son of Edward and Irene (Metcalf) Struensee.  He was raised and received his education in the Neillsville area.  Harry enlisted in the U.

Harry was an avid walleye fisherman, enjoying his many trips to Canada and South Dakota and truly enjoyed the outdoors, especially his gardening. 
 

He will be sadly missed by his wife, Rhonda, of Neillsville; two step-children, Aaron and Katie Gorst, both at home; one granddaughter, McKayla; one brother, Calvin (Annie) Struensee of Miami Springs, FL; and one nephew, Michael Struensee, of Dallas TX.
