Lloyd G. Gorsiski, age 77, passed away Monday, April 23, 2012, at Season’s Hospice, Waukesha, WI. Lloyd was born in Racine, March 25, 1935, son of the late Stanley and Mabel (Nee: Potterville) Gorsiski.
Lloyd was a graduate of William Horlick High School “Class of 1954.” On June 4, 1955, at the EUB Lutheran Church in Racine he was united in marriage to Barbara M. Halbur. Lloyd retired from Sears in 1985 after thirty-two years of employment. He was actively involved with the Explorer Scouts Drum and Bugle Corps and volunteered for many years with Racine County Emergency Management.

Chapter 162 and Chapter 55, ARRL, Milwaukee Repeater Club Inc., and the Wisconsin ARES/RACES.

He will be deeply missed.
