Harry Charles "Chuck" Brickner, 85, of Neillsville, died at 6:45 a.m.,
Saturday, Aug. 24, 2019 at the Marshfield Medical Center in Marshfield, due
to complications after his first chemo treatment. He was born Feb. 2, 1934
in Boscobel, to Ora and Clara Brickner. He married Karen Woodworth on Aug.
6, 1960, who preceded him in death in 1995.
Surviving are his two children, Jane (Jeff) Ryan and Jason (Holly) Brickner;
four grandchildren, Katie Ryan of Milwaukee, Maddie Ryan of McFarland,
Ashley Brickner of Blanchardville and Isaac Brickner of Barneveld. Also
surviving is one sister, Ginny Fenske of Baraboo and one sister-in-law

Harry was preceded in death by his parents, many siblings and nieces and
nephews.
Harry joined the U.S. Army and returned after his mother passed away. He
later met Karen at Turner Hall in Madison and married. They lived in Madison
for several years and after having Jane, they moved to Blue Mounds, where he
lived for 33 years.
Harry had many different jobs such as laborer, bus driver, and worked at the
Dane County Coliseum. In addition, Harry was known as being a “picker” at
local auctions, finding treasures and then re-selling them at his famous
garage sales. Harry also was an avid photographer and chronicled many of his
family events throughout the years.
In 2000, Harry met Angie Garbisch and moved to Neillsville, where he spent
the rest of his retirement years. They loved to travel, belonged to a
dancing club and continued his ‘picking’ and having garage sales. Many
thanks to Angie for making his retirement an enjoyable one.
The family would like to thank all the doctors and nurses at the Marshfield
Medical Center for their care and attention to Dad during his last days.
They truly are angels on earth.
