Kaiser, Harold L. (4 JUN 1938 – 5 FEB 2015)

Harold L. Kaiser, 76, Hudson, passed away on Thursday, Feb. 5, 2015, with his family by his bedside. A Mass of Christian Burial was held at 3 p.m., on Sunday, Feb. 8, at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, Hudson. Rev. John Gerritts officiated. Interment took place at St. Patrick’s Catholic Cemetery. Pallbearers were Pat Kaiser, Randy Kaiser, Jerry Wolfe, Ryan Mayer, Rodney Mayer, and Jeff Mayer, with the St. Patrick’s Knights of Columbus as honorary casket bearers.

Harold was born on June 4, 1938, in Chippewa Falls, the son of Frank and Maude (nee Maxwell) Kaiser. Harold attended Cadott Elementary and graduated from Loyal High School. He proposed to Elaine Mayer in April 1962 with a ring he purchased using his second paycheck of his new job, the first of which was used to purchase a car so they could get around. They were married on Sept. 1 of that year at the Fairview Catholic Church. Harold graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a degree in electrical engineering that led to a dedicated career in the medical device industry. Solving problems motivated him, and he was exceptional at it. Harold had a passion for the outdoors, whether canoeing in the boundary waters of Minnesota, spending time at the cottage in New Auburn on lower Long Lake, or being in the woods during the deer hunting season. He was a student of the game of golf and enjoyed his time on the course with friends and family both in Wisconsin and while wintering in The Villages, Fla. He was quick to say "yes" to an invitation to go fishing, whether it was with friends or family, and he was an especially good teacher to his sons and grandchildren. Harold had a very deep faith throughout his life that guided his generous charitable contributions and led him to achieve the 4th degree of the Knights of Columbus. He will be remembered for his generosity and unselfish sacrifice for others. He was someone who would always do the right thing, when nobody was watching. Harold and Elaine shared 53 years of marriage together, creating storybook adventures -- traveling, dancing, and enjoying the company of others.

Harold will be remembered and missed by his sons, Len (Chris) Kaiser, River Falls, Mike (Angela) Kaiser, River Falls, and Dan (Tana) Kaiser, Plano, Texas; 10 grandchildren: Brittany, Landon, Jordan, Alexa, Cole, Austin, Mariah, Shaun, Dillon and Logan; two brothers, Bernard Kaiser, Loyal, and Jack Kaiser, Auburndale; a sister, Ginny Perone, Eau Claire; and many nieces, nephews, other relatives and dear friends.

He was preceded in death by his dearly beloved wife, Elaine; his parents; and a brother-in-law, Jay Perone.
