Pete Steinwand, one of the founding members of the Northern Lakes Chapter, recently passed away in Rhinelander.
It is not uncommon to see his name scratched on Nekoosa Paper Co. bearing tree tags in the paper company lands of northern Wisconsin.
Peter Joseph Steinwand, age 79, of Rhinelander, died Wednesday, January 23, 2008, at his home. He was born on December 12, 1928, in Colby, Wisconsin to Francis and Verena (Weix) Steinwand. Peter graduated from Colby High School and then graduated from Michigan Tech University. He married his wife, Elizabeth in 1948. Peter worked on Great Lakes ore boats and then was employed as a forester for twenty years for Nekoosa-Port Edwards Paper Co. He then began his career in real estate and was associated with Hunter Realty and Gregory Realty. Peter was an avid outdoorsman and especially enjoyed hunting. Peter is survived by his former wife, Elizabeth Steinwand of Rhinelander; his five children, Linda Duellman of Rhinelander, Joseph Steinwand of Hancock, MI, Kathy (Michael) Chambers of St. Germain, Elizabeth Steinwand of Marina, CA, and Mary Ellen (Chester) Ennis of Carson City, NV; four grandchildren, Rich and John Deullman and Heather and Tanya Hill; and four sisters, Betty, Rosemary, Suzanne, and Kathleen. He was preceded in death by his parents, a daughter, Barbara, and a sister, Virginia. Private family services will be held.
