James A. Robinson
James “Jim” A. Robinson, 89, of Weston, WI, died of cancer on Wednesday, March 1, 2023, at Rennes Health & Rehab Center in Weston under Aspirus Hospice care.
Jim was born April 16, 1933, in Cornell, WI, to James S. and Nadine (née Colburn) Robinson. In 1939, the family moved to Heafford Junction, WI, where Jim’s parents built Robinson’s Texaco station and resort just off of old U.S. Highway 51 on the shores of Lake Nokomis. Jim attended a one-room schoolhouse through eighth grade and then moved on to Tomahawk High School, graduating in 1951. After working odd jobs for a year, Jim enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, returning home on leave after basic and technical training (aircraft maintenance) to marry his high school sweetheart, Betty Hansen, in 1953. The newly wed couple then embarked on a life of frequent moves, as Jim’s Air Force career took them all about the States and twice to England, with Jim doing a tour of duty in Vietnam in 1966–67. Early in his career, he worked when he could at local flying clubs in exchange for private flying lessons, soloing in both Piper J-3 Cub and de Havilland Tiger Moth aircraft. Color blindness prevented him from pursuing flying further.
Jim retired from the Air Force after 20 years, having attained the rank of a Senior Master Sergeant, and the family—Jim and Betty had had three children along the way—moved back to Wisconsin, where Jim attended Nicolet College in Rhinelander before settling in Weston in 1974 and embarking on a new career at Zimpro, Inc., in Rothschild. Jim retired from Zimpro after 19 years, having risen from draftsman to quality control manager in that time. After retirement, Jim and Betty took to traveling about the state and country in their motorhome, often visiting old friends and places from their Air Force days.
Jim had a lifelong interest in cars and aircraft and almost anything else with an engine or motor in it, and he enjoyed playing with technological “toys” of all kinds: radios, gas-engine-powered model aircraft, televisions, tape recorders, cameras, clocks/watches, computers, etc. Jim wasn’t satisfied just playing with such toys, however, he needed to understand them: if he could build it, he’d build it; if he could fix it, he’d fix it; and if he could take it apart, he’d take it apart just to see how it worked. Leisure time would find him reading service and repair manuals as other people read Louis L’Amour novels, and no schematic diagram ever escaped his scrutiny.
Jim is survived by son James M. Robinson (wife Judy), son John Robinson, daughter Wendy Robinson, granddaughter Jennifer Robinson, grandson Allen Robinson, grandson Eric Robinson, and sister Judith Sweet-Rydberg.
Jim was preceded in death by parents James and Nadine, wife Betty, and brother Richard Robinson.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, March 9, 2023, from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm at Brainard Funeral Home and Cremation Center, Everest Chapel, 5712 Memorial Ct, Weston, WI. A short service will begin at 2:00 pm, with Military Honors to follow. Burial will be at the Greenwood Cemetery in Tomahawk at a later date.
The family requests that no flowers or gifts be sent.

Jordan L. Kilsdonk
Jordan Louis Kilsdonk.
Born August 5, 1989 Died February 28, 2023
For those who knew Jordan, they understood how special he was in every way. Special in kindness and ultra-polite, but also special as in special needs. Jordan was born with a broken mind that made life a challenge for him. He had multiple diagnosis that wove a complexity of limitations that he faced daily. He had a passionate interest in flight that evolved into the science of 3D. Overtime, parents observed how these interests controlled him and that he was not able to control these interests without keeping him from the thing he otherwise valued most and that was relationships. He spent much of his life saying no to himself and to the lure of engaging in these things that were not safe for him; from which he turned to trusting in his Savior Jesus for strength to resist and, when needed, forgiveness when it got the best of him. Jordan loved his family, especially his sister Emma and brother-in-law Andrew; he loved spending every Thursday night with Mom and Dad—dinner and a show of his liking. He loved his favorite caretakers at his assistive living, and he loved his friends that he made with his house mates and those he met where he worked at Northern Valley Workshop. He belonged to his church family at Bible Truth Chapel where he continued to grow in grace and knowledge of Jesus. Jordan loved his aunts and uncles and cousins and the time spent with them on holidays. He loved and treasured so many. And now Jordan is free to do all the things that he desired to do but could not without causing himself harm and he is doing it with a full ability to explore and enjoy in the presence of Jesus.
Jordan is survived by his Parents George Joseph Kilsdonk and Lori Kilsdonk, Sister Emma (Kilsdonk) Best and Brother-In-Law Andrew Best. The family especially is grateful for the care giving that he has received through Succeed Opportunities / Fulton House staff and Aspirus Palliative Care.
A Celebration of Jordan’s life will take place at Good News Baptist Church, 145919 Lowland Lane (formerly Marsh Drive), Mosinee WI 54455 on Friday March 31st, 2023. Visitation will be from 12:00 to 2:00, Memorial Service from 2:00 to 3:30 with a dinner reception to follow at the church. A funeral donation in lieu of flowers can be made out to the Kilsdonk Family and sent to the Church.
