Sauey Sr., Norman O. Norman O. Sauey, Sr. Mr. Sauey passed away at Holy Cross Hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on June 29, 2002, after suffering with kidney cancer for approximately 8 months. Mr. Sauey was born in Exland, Wisconsin on July 4, 1921. His mother, Mathilda, and his father, Ole, had immigrated to Wisconsin from Norway. They were poor, hard working farmers, and had a difficult time trying to till the rocky soil and raise their dairy cattle, chickens and pigs. One of his favorite stories to share about himself was that he was literally "born in a barn". His father was a tool and die maker and eventually migrated to Chicago in order to earn a living to support his family. When Mr. Sauey was 16, he moved to Chicago to begin a tool and die maker apprenticeship. He began working at Richardson Company which is where he met and soon married his wife, Claire. They lived in a small apartment behind a home in Melrose Park, Illinois. In 1944, they had their first child, Norman, Jr. The family grew in 1948 with the arrival of twin sons, Donald and Ronald. In 1946, he began his own tool and die business, A-1 Tool Corporation which specialized in plastic molds. The business grew and became quite successful. As they needed a good die maker, Norman was asked by his brothers, William and Edwin, to join them in Baraboo as they started another business called Flambeau Plastics. He moved to Baraboo in 1950. In 1960, a little girl they named Mary Anne entered their lives. The purchase of Portage Plastics took place in 1967 and he, along with his son, Norm, operated this plastic extrusion and thermoforming company. Mr. Sauey decided, in 1969, to sell A-1 Tool to Beatrice Foods. He briefly retired in Fort Lauderdale and then a new business was purchased, with his son Don, called Belaco which was subsequently re-named Closet Maid Corporation. In 1971, the business was moved to Ocala, Florida. They marketed wire-coated steel shelving. While in Ocala, the Arabian horse business entered the picture after he purchased a beautiful farm which was named Nodoroma, after his 4 children. He and Claire resided on the farm so that he could enjoy, along with his daughter, Mary Anne, what would become one of his favorite pastimes. His business ventures included the purchase of Clairon Metals Corporation, Cellox Corporation, Clairson Industries Corporation and Den-mar Signs. His real estate acquisitions included apartment and commercial buildings, and vacant land in addition to farms and farmlands. He had many tragedies in his life, including the loss of his wife, Claire; his granddaughter, Kristen Hornby in 1984; and his sister, Annette; but the one that affected him most was the loss of his son, Ron who died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1987. He spent many of his later years involved in woodworking while in Baraboo. He was a skilled craftsman, and enjoyed making furniture and quality toys for his grandchildren. After 58 wonderful years together, Mr. Sauey lost his wife, Claire in 1999. He later married Beverly Barboza of Ocala. They made their home in Fort Lauderdale until his death. He was a kind, benevolent and gentle man and an excellent businessman. He was very caring and had donated both his time and financial support to many organizations, his favorite being the Crane Foundation. He entrusted his businesses to people that he felt had potential. He will be greatly missed by his many family members, friends and associates. His wife Beverly, his sons, Norman (Carla) and Donald (Regina), his daughter Mary Anne, and three grandchildren, Nicole (Richard), Norman III, and Mindy, survive him, He is further survived by other relatives and many, many friends.

Memorial funeral services will be held Wednesday, October 22, 2003 at 3 p.m. in the Holy Cross Episcopal Church in Wisconsin Dells with Reverend Diane Markevitch officiating. According to his wishes, Jack will be cremated and his cremains interned at the Lake Delton Village Cemetery. Military rites will be provided by the Harold B. Larkin American Legion Post 187 of Wisconsin Dells. Jack was born May 14, 1921 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, the son of Virgil and Katherine Schlageter) Scott. In November of 1942, he entered the U.S. Army. His WWII military service took him overseas with the 40th Engineers Combat Regiment to Sicily, Naples, Foggia, Rome, Arno, Southern France, Rhineland and Southern Europe. He earned the Victory Medal, European African Middle Eastern Theater Ribbon with one Silver Battle Star and one Bronze Battle Star, Bronze Service Arrowhead, four Overseas Service Bars, one Silver Stripe and a Good Conduct Medal. He attained the rank of Corporal and was honorably discharged in November of 1945. In October of 1946 he married Laura Mae Sarrington in Dubuque, Iowa. Before and after his military service, he worked for the Sarrington Construction Company. In 1960 he formed Scott Construction which continues today as a family owned and operated company. Jack was a charter member of the Lake Delton Lions Club, through which his efforts rewarded him the prestigious Lions Club Melvin Jones Award for meritorious service, organized the Lions Club Golden Age Dinner, a member of Harold B. Larkin American Legion Post 187 of Wisconsin Dells and a past member of the Lake Delton Volunteer Fire Department. Annual reunions since 1945 provided camaraderie with his military buddies from the 40th Engineers. He was an active member of Holy Cross Episcopal Church and Saint Albens in Tucson, Arizona. "JC" was a loving, generous and proud husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He passed on his love for golfing to his children and grandchildren. Many wonderful and fun hours were spent at the Dellview/Wilderness, Reedsburg and Ventana Golf Clubs. Dad was an avid photographer. Our albums are full of his "unique" pictures. Many people will remember him for his giving of $2 bills. We think he was personally responsible for keeping them in circulation. His loyalty and love of his country was shown in his forever gifting of American flags. "No home is complete if it doesn't have an American flag flying," he said. The raising of the flag was a signal to their neighbors of their return to their Tucson winter home where they have spent the last 20 winters. He was a respected and caring employer. Even though heart trouble took him away from Scott Construction at an early age, his heart was never out of the business. There are many red and only a few of the special white Scott Construction hats throughout the United States and around the world. For many years, the Reedsburg Butterfest saw an influx of red hats because Grandpa was taking his grandkids to the celebration. "You can't lose the red hats in a crowd!" he said. His unique sense of humor, his mischievously sly smile and loving, generous heart will be dearly missed by his family and many friends. Jack is dearly missed by his wife, Laura Mae; sons, John "Doug" (Linda) and Randy (Kristine) both of Lake Delton; daughters, Sandra (James) Jordan of Reedsburg, Wisconsin and Teresa (Jeffrey) Jacobson of Lake Delton; a brother, Dan (Donna) of Lake Delton; sister, Dorothy Dehler of Baraboo, Wisconsin; grandchildren, Aaron (Theresa) Scott, Benjamin (Margaret) Scott, Sarah and Jill Scott and Eric Loomis, Joel, Jared and Jason Seufzer, Collin and Brennen Jacobson and Katelyn and Nathan Scott; and great-grandchildren, Brooke and Noah Michel and Taylor Talley.
