Harold “Butch” Grube

Harold “Butch” Grube was called home on Tuesday, Oct. 18, at the age of 78.

Harold was born on July 12, 1945, to Olivia and Elwood Grube in Port Washington, Wis. 

Harold was well known and loved in his hometown of Cedarburg, Wis. Some of us remember Harold as the president of the Jackson Moonlighter Snowmobile Club, a previous employee of Ehlert Tool and Die in New Berlin for more than 30 years or as an active member at St. Francis Borgia, where he serves as an usher and social butterfly.

He acquired many nicknames over the years, including Butch, Bad Butch, Harry, Papa and Happy. We will always cherish Harold’s eminent charisma, his ability to light up a room and his endless humor that carried him happily through life and even during his last days on earth.

He loved his pets Ace, Autumn and Husky. His love for animals carried through helping out at Alan Reetz’s farm over the past 20 years. 

Harold is survived by his loving family: his brothers Jim (Sue) Grube, Dennis (Debbie) Grube and the late Wally Grube; his three sons, Scott (Christine) Grube, Todd (Christina) Grube and Steve (Jessica) Grube; and his two adored grandchildren, Alyssa and Samantha Grube; as well as many loved nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family. 

Visitation will be held at Mueller Funeral Home & Crematory, 979 N. Green Bay Rd. in Grafton on Monday, Oct. 23, from 3 to 6 p.m.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Francis Borgia North Catholic Church on Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2023, at noon.

Interment will be at the church cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorials of your choice are appreciated.
