Arthur Mathias Lindner was born on April 27, 1942, on the home farm in Loyal, to Casper and Marie (nee Keller) Lindner. He was raised on the family farm and received his education at St. Mary’s Catholic School and Greenwood High School. Art entered the U.S. Army Reserves, where he served for 8 1/2 years. He was united in marriage to Shirley A. Weyer on Oct. 16, 1965, at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Loyal. Theirs was a marriage of love, humor, a strong-working partnership on the farm, and raising their five children. The foundation of their marriage was their strong faith. Art spent many hours in the shop fixing cars, trucks, tractors, and combines. He loved the woods; either to fish in the 160 or to log it. Art never stopped his logging mission. Many of dad’s cut logs ended up as part of the many forts built by the Lindner kids on Spencer Road. His faith and family were most important to him, but he also loved the farm, the Green Bay Packers, mechanical equipment and humor. Ice cream, chocolate malts and grasshoppers were favorite treats of his. He enjoyed the cabin, Copper Falls, swimming with the family, fishing, and walking through the woods and nature, whether it was a sunrise or a perfect tree. Art was a lifetime member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church.
He will be dearly missed by his wife, Shirley, of Loyal; his children: Perry (Vickie) Lindner of Custer, Penny (Tom) Nigl of Omro, Sally (Spencer) Mashak of La Crosse, and Gary “Fred” (Brenda) Lindner of Loyal; his grandchildren: Kristen, Kayla (Keary), Kyra, Molly, Carrie (Jacob) Heath, Jon (Lamiesa) Nigl, John, Levi, Tysen and Ross; two great-grandsons: Bentley and Michael; five sisters: Jacqueline Lindner of Greenwood, Irene Wilke of Loyal, Jeanette Sullivan of Dumfries, Va., Shirley (Henry) Janezich of Willard, and Dorothy Wessell of Sheboygan; three brothers: Donald (MaryAnn) Lindner of Greenwood, Richard (Bonnie) Lindner of Greenwood, and LaVerne (Joan) Lindner of Loyal; and several nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends.
Art was preceded in death by his parents; one daughter: Connie Knight, on May 26, 2014; one brother: Carl Lindner; and one sister: Elaine “Sis” Herdrich.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be given in Art’s name to St. Mary’s Memorial Fund.
