Patrick E. St. Aubin, Little Chute

Age 73, passed away Sunday, November 19, 1999 at home after a long battle with cancer.  He was born August 21, 1926, in Chicago, the son of Amos and Matilda (Binon) St. Aubin.  The family moved to Appleton where Pat attended St. Therese Grade School.  During his high school years, the family moved to Akron, Ohio.  During World War II he served in the Army in the Philippines.  After the war, he returned to Ohio.  There he met and married Joanne Rett on May 24, 1952.  They then moved to Wisconsin where Pat eventually worked for the St. Aubin Construction Company in Little Chute.  He worked as a bricklayer until 1988, when he retired.  Pat enjoyed his retirement as he spent much time "Up North" at the cottage with family.  He was an avid gardener, loved to hunt deer, and spent many hours at his hobby of carving birds, while his wife, Joanne, did the painting on the birds.  He always had projects to work on and was never idle.  His words  of wisdom and countless stories will be missed.  .. He is survived by his wife, Joanne, five sons, Michael,  Appleton, and his children, Angie, Green Bay, and Jenny; Dennis, Appleton, and his children Ben, Hannah, and Morgan; Jim, Little Chute; Joseph, Little Chute; and Brian (Jodi) Greenville, and their daughter, Claire.  He is also survived by four daughters:  Kathleen (Douglas) Winquist, Fredonia, Wisconsin; their children Matt and Amanda; Roseann, Milwaukee; Annette (Dave) Mauthe and their children, Emily, Kevin and Jean, Appleton.  He is further survived by his two sisters:  Sister Rose Patrick, a Maryknoll missionary in the Marshall Islands; and Carol (James ) Jameson, Akron, Ohio.  He was preceded in death by an infant son, John, and his parents.
