that he carried throughout his life. His professional journey was as varied as it was impressive: Mick worked as a Research Chemist in Marshfield, spent many years in public service in Kenosha and Fort McCoy, before retiring as a Network Administrator at the Tomah Veterans Administration Hospital. His colleagues remember him as a diligent and dedicated professional, always ready to lend a hand or share a piece of advice. In his free time, Mick found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He loved mowing the lawn, and tending to his Arabian horses on the 5 acre property he owned in Norwalk.
Mick is survived by his beloved wife of 52 years, Mary Lynn Premeau; his devoted children, Heather (Rich) Miles, Rodger (Melissa) Premeau, and Steven (Molly Abraham) Premeau; and his cherished grandchildren, Benjamin, Calvin, and Delaney Premeau.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, other relatives, and friends.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Sparta/LaCrosse hospice or HorseSense for Heroes in LaCrosse.
