Anthony "Tony" Paque

Anthony “Tony” Paque, age 84, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, September 18, 2024. He was born on July 14, 1940 to the late Quintal and Lucy (Lamperer) Paque in Luxemburg, WI.

Tony was a graduate of Luxemburg High School class of 1958. On June 23, 1962 he married the love of his life, Margaret Baierl at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Luxemburg. Tony served his country in the United States Navy from 1959 to 1961. He was employed at Gustman Chevrolet in Kaukauna and Midwest Car Corporation where he sold cars for over 60 years. Tony loved being in the automotive industry and happily worked until he was 80 years old! Tony had a passion for travel and he and Marge had the opportunity to travel to over 80 countries throughout their lives. He enjoyed being outdoors and loved taking photos of birds and wildflowers. He was an avid sports fan, but especially enjoyed cheering on the Packers and the Chicago Cubs. Tony was lucky enough to be a season ticket holder for the Packers since before Lambeau Field was built. He also had a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the Cubs win the World Series, a memory he truly cherished. He was a man of strong faith and was an active member of St. John Nepomucene Catholic Church where he was an altar server for many years. Above all else, family was Tony’s top priority. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He absolutely loved spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren and always made it a point to attend all of their sporting events and activities.

Tony is survived by his loving wife, Margaret; children: Tom (Lori) Paque, Jeff (Sara) Paque, and David (Andrea) Paque; grandchildren: Phil (Joy) Paque, Sam (Bianca) Paque, Robert Paque, Kathryn Paque, Johnathon Paque, and James Paque; great grandchildren: Elijah, Ava, Vera, Finn, Jesse, and Skye; and siblings: Francis (Donna) Paque and Mike (Penny) Paque.

He was preceded in death by his parents: Quintal and Lucy Paque and Margaret’s parents: Joe and Madeline Baierl.
