Neshkoro - Charles Richard Kasubaski, age 80 of Neshkoro, passed away peacefully Friday morning, February 16, 2018 at the Aurora Medical Center in Oshkosh. He was surrounded by the love of his family. Charles was born June 5, 1937 in Neshkoro, son of Benjamin C. and Elizabeth (Mahar) Kasubaski.

Charles married Dorothy L. Wobschall October 11, 1958 at St. James Catholic Church in Neshkoro. Charles was employed at Speed Queen in Ripon for 47 years until his retirement. He also worked and took care of the family farm in Neshkoro, raising beef cattle and pigs. He worked hard in everything he did and could fix almost anything.
He loved tending to his large garden each year, providing his home-grown vegetables for his family and friends to enjoy. In his early years, he played fastpitch softball for many years. He enjoyed watching sports of all kinds, hunting with his boys, traveling and gambling with Dorothy and listening to polka music - but most of all, he loved his wife and family.
