Harold “Junior” Biller

1932-2024

Harold “Junior” Biller, 91, of Jump River, passed away on Thursday, Feb. 29, 2024, in his home surrounded by his loving family.

Harold was born July 1, 1932 to Melvin and Marie (Lessor) Biller. He was married to his high school sweet-heart, June (Gorla) Biller on July 5, 1951. Together they were blessed with six children.

He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He spent his life on his family farm along the Jump River. He spent endless hours working on the farm and logging. He milked cows until he was 85 and then sold the dairy cattle. He couldn’t stand to see all the cattle gone so he rented his land for beef cattle. He just couldn’t stop farming! He loved getting in his tractors and working in the fields. Even when he needed help getting in the tractors, he still kept working. At 89 he had to stop because he just couldn’t do it anymore.

Harold was partial to a few things. He loved Coke and Oreo cookies. He also loved the color green, or more specially, “John Deere Green”. He spent his free time ice fishing, snowmobiling, playing softball, and working with his horses. He was an avid horse lover and had teams he used for logging and pulling floats in the local parades.

He was a Jump River Lions Club member and part of the fire department for many years and was an active member of the community. He was always willing to help anyone in need. He will be missed by so many!

Harold is survived by his son, Duane Biller of Glen Flora; daughters, Kay (Mike) Podolak of Gilman, Julie Jenness of Jump River, Kris (George) Cason of Jump River, and Holly (Bob) Lukes of Jump River. He is also survived by grandchildren, Jessica Griffin, Lea Moore, Deana Cason, Tiffany (Stephan) Noel, Charidy (Brett) Ludescher, Bridget (Bruce) Burmeister, Tyrone Podolak, Fawn (Joey) Towne, Rick (Jessie) Podolak, Bobby (Andi) Lukes, Clayton (Krista) Lukes and Terry Lukes.

Harold was blessed with 29 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson.

He was preceded in death by his wife, June; his parents; infant son, Lenny Matthew Biller; brother, Jim Biller; sister, Doris Frohn; son-in law, Roger Jenness; and daughter-in-law, Marie Biller.
