Michael Dmytro, 89, of Thorp, died Friday, June 11, 2010, at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield.  He was born on August 13, 1920, in Cicero, IL, the son of the late Theodore and Pauline (Makitra) Dmytro.  Mike and his family moved to the Lublin area when he was a young man. He farmed with his family and worked at the CCC camps before WWII.  At that time he entered the Navy and served our country in many battles in the Pacific.  Mike stayed in the Navy for 20 years and then worked at the Great Lakes Naval Station in Waukegan, IL until his retirement.  At that time he moved back to Thorp and has lived there since.  The last five years he’s been a resident of Oakbrook Health & Rehab.
