Erwin Leverenz, age 78, of 11 W. Merrill Ave., Tomahawk, passed away unexpectedly Friday, Sept. 10, 2004, at Sacred Heart Hospital, Tomahawk.

He was born Nov. 14, 1925, in Milwaukee to the late Erwin J. and Marie Leverenz. He was married to the former Anna Marie Brehm on May 21, 1949, in Burlington, Wis.

Erv attended the University of Wisconsin in Madison, receiving a bachelor's degree in animal husbandry, and a master's degree in adult education and landscape architecture. He was employed in the agricultural field through 1966. From 1966 until 1978, he was employed by the University of Wisconsin Extension system and Lincoln County. Erv received numerous awards as an outstanding agent, and was frequently recognized for service to his community.

In 1977 he purchased the Tomahawk Hotel, renovated it into apartments and businesses, and renamed it the Tomahawk House. Erv retired in 1992 but continued to stay active in community service and St. Mary Catholic Church.
