On Monday, February 15, the Lord took my beloved husband from my arms to His Heavenly Home. Reginald Hromek was born on August 14, 1940. On September 16, 1961, he married the love of his life, Nancy (Wurster) Hromek. He had three wonderful children; Vickie, Jill, and Tim. Reg's favorite thing was family. But when they were all together, it meant the most. Reggie could be found on the lake fishing, or in the woods hunting, or in the backyard grilling, mowing his lawn. When the day was done, everyone got a prickly mustache kiss, and one of his huge hugs. Those hugs were one of a kind, like him. Reggie was most proud of his family. He loved his wife from the moment he met her as a little boy. He loved of her until his last breath. He was proud of his three children and their accomplishments. And as this family grew, he was so very proud of the grandkids. He took care of all of us, from fixing and repairing, to teaching us things like financing. He just knew everything we needed to know. Reg is survived by his beloved wife, Nancy; his children: Vickie Vehrs; Jill Hromek; and Tim (Heidi) Hromek, Grandfather of: Bria (Josh) Newton, Erin (Jace Klemm) Tiry, Ivy Tiry, Mackenzie Drengler, Alex Hromek, and Maddie Hromek; and his great-grand daughter, Harper Newton. Son of Andrew (deceased) and Elizabeth (Klinger) Hromek; brother to Shirley Hromek (deceased), David (and Mary) Hromek. He was in the United States Army Reserves from January 1960 through November 1965. He worked as a Milwaukee County Deputy Sheriff, and later owned his own business of building, remodeling, and repairing homes. We need to remember, now that his day is done, that Reggie is okay, It is only we who are still in pain. Reggie would agree: "Perhaps my time seemed all to brief, don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me, I'm with God now. I've been set free." Reggie loved, and was loved, by so many. It's not Good-bye, it's "I'll see you when….." A Celebration of his life will be held at a later date.  John J. Buettgen Funeral Home is assisting family at this time. Online condolences may be expressed at HonorOne.com
