Obituary
James E. Gerber, 72, Palm Coast, FL, formerly of Lake Mills, WI, died on Sunday, May 10, 2020 at the Advent Hospital in Palm Coast, FL.
He was born on November 18, 1947, the son of the late Rudy and Betty (Achterberg) Gerber.
In 1965 he graduated from the Lake Mills High School and enlisted in the U.S. Navy where he served for 4 years.
Jim had been employed by APV Crepaco for 32 years before retiring.
He was a member of the St. Mark By the Sea Lutheran Church in Palm Coast, FL, the Clarence Bean - Warren George Lake Mills American Legion Post #67, and very proud member of his motorcycle club,
He enjoyed riding motorcycles and wood carving.
Jim was a good loving father who loved his daughter very much. She was always on his mind. He had an entertaining sense of humor and kept everyone laughing.
He was an avid Packer fan, even after moving to Florida in 2013, although he could not always get the games there.
He always had pets, especially dogs, and as a kid would always bring them home hoping to keep them. Throughout his life he had many. His last
dog "Sweetie" certainly lived up to her name.
Survivors include his daughter, Angie (Gary) Klopstein of Watertown; two grandsons, James Klopstein and Jared Klopstein, both of Watertown; his siblings, Danny (Joni) Gerber of Lake Mills, Jean Holzhueter of Palm Coast, FL, Connie (Terry) Minsch of Saratoga Springs, NY, Kathy (Paul) Quaintance of Oshkosh; and many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
Also preceded in death by two brothers, Steven and Thomas; and a brother-in-law, Stanley Holzhueter.
Due to the current pandemic, burial will take place at a later date.
Jim is loved by many and we all will miss him.
Special thank you to the nurses and staff at the Advent Hospital in Palm Coast for their loving care given to Jim during his stay there.
