January 21, 1939 — October 6, 2014
Raymond J. Micolichek, 75, Green Bay, passed away on Monday, October 6, 2014, surrounded by his family.
He was born on January 21, 1939, in De Pere, to the late Charles & Mary (Polus) Micolichek.
Ray married Margaret Bayerl on October 10, 1959, at Holy Trinity Church in Birch Creek, MI.
He worked as a heavy equipment operator for over 46 years. He had a strong work ethic and was proud that he never missed a day of work. Ray was a member of the construction crew that installed the water lines at Lambeau Field. He was a member of Operating Engineers Local #139, and was honored for fifty years of membership.
Ray enjoyed all fishing including Brook Trout fishing in Dunbar, perch fishing on Larson's Reef on the bay, and was an avid hunter and enjoyed the outdoors. The one thing he enjoyed the most in his retirement was "junking". Ray's red Ford truck was well known around Green Bay for chasing after treasures.
Ray was an avid NASCAR fan and enjoyed watching races.
