Mark J. Pinchart

Mark Joseph Pinchart, 85, of Casco, passed away peacefully at home in the presence of his family on Friday, March 1, 2024. Mark was born on November 15, 1938, in Euren to the late Peter and Emily (Kinnard) Pinchart.

Mark graduated from Casco High School in 1956. On October 24, 1964, he married Mae Romuald at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Champion. He was a lifelong member of St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Lincoln, and a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters. He spent 34 years working as a welder at Kewaunee Engineering, retiring in 2000.

Mark was a polka connoisseur! He enjoyed watching Mollie B, Polka! Polka! Polka! and Polka Joe. He enjoyed NASCAR, cutting lawn and blowing snow on his John Deere, Gator rides, and meeting his friends at the local watering hole. Mark was a Green Bay Packers fan, holding season tickets for many decades. He also attended the infamous Ice Bowl.

A quiet, reserved man, Mark had few hobbies in life, but enjoyed many simple things. Spending time with his family and friends enjoying an old fashion was important to him. This was especially true these past few years as his mobility became more challenging.

Mark is survived by his wife of 59 years, Mae, and his children and their spouses: Dale (Kaori) Pinchart, Julie (Mark) Welter, Dan (Diane) Pinchart, Jacque (Jason) Wiese, and Jody (Greg) Veeser; grandchildren Kevin Pinchart, Michelle (Brendan) Watson, Erin (Casey) Beyer, Stephanie and Rachel Welter, Ashly (Gary) Balza, Justin (friend Chantel) Pinchart, Emily (Bryson) Madden, Lucy, Sam and Andrew Wiese, Maegan (friend Joe) and Jeremy Glander, and Grant and Addie Veeser. He is also survived by 12.875 great grandchildren, two great-great grandchildren, his Godchildren Mary Voyles and Kelly Pinchart, and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Peter and Emily, his father-in-law and mother-in-law George and Eunice Romuald, his sister and brother-in-law Magdalene (Hamlin) Boucher, and his sister-in-law and brother-in-law Marie (Wilfred) DeGrave.
