John P. Hanus
Forever the “Inventor”

Left us Sept. 2, 2024, age 73. Son of the late Berty/the late Clarence. Loving brother of the late Jim (late Sandy), Mary (late Fred), Jerry and Julie. Dear uncle of Kathy, the late Jenni, the late Laurie, Joe (Denise), Jane (Steve), and Ann. Survived by many other relatives and friends. He loved them and they loved him back.

John was fun, very bright, talented, and generous with his time to others. He was of Bohemian-Czech descent. He had many endeavors. (He was also very mechanical and loved his numerous older cars.) Free time would most likely find him at Devil’s Lake or Lannon Quarry and in the past with his dog Maxi. He had a Business Degree and being a “people person” was successful in Home-Improvement sales. He was a creative “Inventor” with patents on ideas, and at one time established BGW, a car kit company.

Celebration of Life on Monday, Sept. 16, 2024 at the Hub at Cedar Creek, 12:00 pm-4:00 pm, 1814 Washington Ave, Cedarburg, WI (north of Hwy 60). Shared Remembrances at 1:00 pm, please come with a story or memory to share!

In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to the Special Olympics, Milwaukee Public TV (PBS), an environmental group, or the charity of your choice.

He will be deeply missed. (We’re glad he never moved to California!)
