Lemanski, James W. 
OREGON - Jim Lemanski, age 65, died Thursday, June 19,
2003, at HospiceCare after a two-year battle with
neuroendocrine cancer, a very rare form of cancer. Jim was
born Dec. 18, 1937, in Fennimore, Wis., the son of
Clarence and Stella Lemanski. His family moved to Madison
before he was 5 years old. He grew up on a farm on Badger
Road that is now the nucleus of Lake Farm Park. He met his
wife, Martha, when they were both 19 years old and they
have been together ever since. Jim worked for more than 40
years in retail sales. He had a terrific sense of humor
and many an appliance floor/TV department was brightened
by his wit over the years. Jim was an enthusiastic,
skillful gardener. He grew many beautiful flowers and had
marvelous vegetable gardens. His loyalty to the Green Bay
Packers started in the 1950s and never wavered throughout
the years. He passed that fervor on to all three of his
children. Jim was also very artistically gifted. He did
drawings, oil paintings (all of which he framed himself),
and later in life discovered he had a wonderful talent for
carving birds-ranging from chickadees and shore birds to
life size hawks and swans. Jim was half Irish and always
enjoyed celebrating that part of his heritage. Jim enjoyed
life to the fullest ... always ready to try something new.
He is survived by his wife, Martha; three children,
Kathleen of Madison, James Jr. (Linda) of Gonzales, La.,
and Lisa (David) Roberts of Baton Rouge, La.; and his
"best friend," Annie, his golden Labrador. He is also
survived by two brothers, Jerome (Pat) of Madison, and
John (Lila) of Cottage Grove; a sister, Patricia Mehm of
Buffalo, N.Y.; and many nieces and nephews. He was
preceded in death by his parents; and a sister, June. The
family would like to express their appreciation to Pam
Wick and the oncology nurses at the Dean Clinic on Fish
Hatchery Road for their caring concern and support these
past two years. Visitation will be Sunday, June 22, 2003,
from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. at CRESS FUNERAL HOME, 3610
Speedway Road, Madison, with a rosary service at 6:30 p.m.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Monday, June 23,
2003, at 10 a.m. at ST. JAMES CATHOLIC CHURCH, 1128 St.
James Court, Madison, with Monsignor Douglas L. Dushack
presiding., Cress Funeral Service 3610 Speedway Road (608)
238-3434
