Willard Karl Krull, 83, Green Bay (formerly of Birnamwood and Newald, Wisc) died unexpectedly on Thursday, July 1, 2010 at St. Mary's Medical Center, Green Bay.
He was born February 22, 1927 in Aniwa, the son of the late Karl and Meta (Boelter) Krull.  On June 11, 1949, Willard was united in marriage to Katherine Mae Schwamer, of Norrie, in Birnamwood.  She survives.
Willard served in the U.S. Army as a PVT-Infantry Basic; PVT-Heavy Machine Gunner and PFC-Light Truck Driver from April 30, 1945 to December 17, 1946.  Following Willard's service in the U.S. Army the couple lived and worked in many cities including Shawano, Readfield, Green Bay and finally Ashwaubenon where Willard retired from Morning Glory Dairy after 25+ years of service.  Once retired, Willard and Katherine relocated to Newald where his main job was to keep the birds and deer fed that frequented the yard.  Fishing and hunting were his favorite pastimes.  Health issues forced Willard and Katherine to return to Green Bay where they currently reside at Woodfield Village in Howard.
