Harold "Pete" Ewing, age 82, of Neillsville, died Thursday, November 3, 2022, in

Harold Dennis Ewing was born on August 10, 1940, in Neillsville, the son of Earl
and Mabel (Finder) Ewing. He was educated in the Neillsville school system until
he joined the United States Army in March of 1958. He was 17 years old. He
served in the army for three years, one in the United States and the other two
in Germany. While in the service, he completed his high school education. He was
with the signal corps then transferred to the military police until he was
honorably discharged in January of 1961. On March 24, 1962, he was united in
marriage to Sue Ann Mallory, also of Neillsville, at St. John's Evangelical
Lutheran Church. They bought a house at 306 Grand Avenue, where they lived the
rest of their lives. Shortly after they purchased their home, Pete started
working with Warren Medicke Plumbing. He worked there until passing the
Wisconsin's Master Plumber's exam on August 10, 1970. A short while later, he
started his own business under the name of Ewing Plumbing and House of Plumbing.
He suffered a heart attack in October of 1982. After the attack, he started H&S
Liquidators and H&S Discount Stores. Pete and Sue ran their stores in
Neillsville, Loyal, Owen and Abbotsford until 1991, at which time he restarted
his plumbing business. The business is still running under the name of Ewing
Plumbing now being run by his son, Michael Ewing.
