Behringer, Norbert Carl “Norb” (20 JUL 1930 - 13 SEP 2017)

Norbert Carl Behringer, 87, of Siren passed away on Sept. 13, 2017.

The funeral service was held on Monday, Sept. 18 at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Webster with Pastor Jody Walter officiating. Interment was at Northern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Spooner.

Norb was born to Norman and Leona (Schulte) Behringer in Marshfield, Wis., and was raised on a farm in the rolling hills of Owen, Wis. He served four years in the United States Navy on the USS Manatee during the Korean War. He proudly recalled his years of service to our country and shared many stories of the shenanigans they got into.

After the service, he married Dorothy Mae Olson from Sarles, ND. They raised two daughters. They resided in Milwaukee, St. Paul, St. Louis Park, MN, North Branch, MN, Cameron and Siren.

Norb was a talented woodworker who traveled to art shows until recently. His woodwork was loved by so many people that they returned year after year to see more of his work, especially his wooden utensils. Cancer whittled away at him the last four years, but he will always be remembered for his hilarious sense of humor, his huge smile, infectious laugh and deep love and support of his family.

Loving husband to Dorothy, amazing father to Deanna and Sandy (Ron), wonderful grandfather to Joshua and Trisha (David), and great-grandfather to Timothy, Amelia and Johnathan. He is also survived by a sister, Wilma (Harold “Sunny”) Heck.

Preceding Norb in death was a brother, Veryln.
