Roman S. KatzerRoman S. Katzer, of Eagle River, Wis., passed away on Thursday, Dec. 9, 2021, in Milford, at the age of 87.
Roman was born in Milwaukee, Wis., on Aug. 15, 1934, to Roman A. and Sylvia C. Katzer. He was united in marriage to his loving wife, Leatrice Joy Lodes, on Sept. 17, 1955. Together, they raised six children. Roman was employed by Moore Business Forms and retired as a highly successful Senior Account Executive.
Many of Roman’s accomplishments stemmed from his love of the outdoors. This legacy of love for the outdoors was passed on as Roman taught responsible hunting and fishing to his children and grandchildren.

He also served his community as a member of the Elks Club and was an avid conservationist and 35-year member of the Petermans Hunting and Fishing Club, as well as serving in the Boy Scouts of America as a Scout leader.
Roman and Joy would travel south to Golf Shores, Ala., during the winter months; however, the rest of the year they loved being on the lake at their cabin home in the North Woods of Wisconsin enjoying fishing and deer hunting.
