Dominic R. Binversie, 85, of Sheboygan, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, May 3, 2022, at The Shores
of Sheboygan Assisted Living. He was born on May 14, 1936, in School Hill to the late Nicholas and
Catherine (Koenig) Binversie. Dominic attended Holy Trinity School in School Hill and Kiel High School
and later attended Lakeland College.
Dominic worked on and eventually ran the family farm in School Hill for many years. He then worked for
First Interstate Bank, and retired in 2007 from Lakeland College where he worked in the maintenance
department.
He was a faithful member of St. Dominic Catholic Church in Sheboygan and Holy Trinity Catholic Church,
School Hill enjoying singing in both church choirs. He was a life-long Green Bay Packers fan and loved to
play cards, especially sheepshead. In his retirement, Dominic loved gardening (of which he was very
accomplished), canning his harvest and enjoying a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. He was an avid
reader and had a nice collection of history, geography, wildlife books and news periodicals. He enjoyed
doing crossword puzzles. He also loved to travel, highlighted by trips he made to China and Peru in his
70s. Dominic was always very knowledgeable on a number of topics from history to geography to
species of plants to politics. One could easily get him talking on various topics for hours. In his younger
days at the farm, Dominic had a large collection of comic books and music albums. Dominic is also a
past member of the School Hill Knights of Columbus, receiving an Award of Merit in 1969.
