Daniel J. Rosera Sr.

August 16, 1923 — November 7, 2013

Daniel J. "Cowboy" Rosera Sr., 90, Green Bay, passed away on Thursday, November 7, 2013, with family by his side.

He was born on August 16, 1923, in Milwaukee, WI.

In his early years, Dan worked for the Green Bay & Western Railroad, where he met his wife Rosaline Delloye. He later worked for Pauly Cheese for over 40 years until his retirement. He worked part time at the Vic Theater as a ticket taker, sneaking in Packer players with free admission, for which he was compensated with autographed footballs from Super Bowl I & II. During his lifetime, Dan enjoyed making Rosary's for church's, missions, friends and family members. It is said that his Rosary's are spread throughout the world. He also enjoyed drawing, sketching, water color and writing poetry. Christmas was his favorite holiday and would take hours to make ornaments and cookies during the holidays. Dan volunteered at Paul's Pantry for several years and took joy in serving others. One of his favorite joys was taking his children & grandchildren on Sunday walks on the railroad tracks. To this day, his children still enjoy trains and the tracks.
