Peter J. Damrow, 80, of Sheboygan, passed away Saturday, September 11, 2021 at St. Luke’s Hospital in Milwaukee with his family by his side.
Peter was born August 9, 1941 in Sheboygan to the late Frank and Helen (Schroder) Damrow. He attended Holy Name School and was a member of Holy Name Church. On March 31, 1962, he was united in marriage to Betty Jean Gutche at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Sheboygan Falls.
Peter worked at Tecumseh Products in New Holstein from December 1958 until August 2003 in the assembly room. His greatest passion in life was riding his motorcycle from the age of 16. He knew it would be an important part of his life. He was an honorary member of the Sheboygan County Motorcycle Club. He was also a member of the Local H.O.G. Chapter of Sheboygan. He took many trips to Sturgis, SD with his wife Betty and special friends James and Sharon Kussard. They also traveled to Colorado, Nashville, TN, Florida and to Washington DC in 2017 with their daughter Karin Liebenstein and son-in-law, Ken.
Peter was a friend to everyone and touched many lives in so many special ways. You couldn’t go anywhere without him knowing someone. Peter was a handy man and there wasn’t much he couldn’t do. He helped build the family cabin in the 1980’s in Florence, WI. He was always willing to help anyone in need and always put others before himself. Peter had a gift of putting smiles on people’s faces.
