John Hablewitz

John A Hablewitz, 78 of Wausau passed away January 13, 2021 at Cedar Ridge Elder services Schofield, WI.

John was born in Wausau August 16, 1942 to the late Arnie and Marie (Belanger) Hablewitz.

In his teens, John worked for the YMCA and a surplus store on 3rd Street. John worked over 35 years at Hammerblow Corp. In his later years, he worked at Menards and Day’s Bowl a Dome.

John met his wife Jeanne Francis Rasmusson at the Lark Bar in 1964. They married October 16, 1965; recently celebrating 55 years of marriage. Jeanne and John built their home on 1972, where they spent 48 years. They loved to go to Las Vegas; playing cards, slot machines & Wayne Newton.

John will always be remembered by his slightly off-color jokes, gruff on the outside personality but was a wonderful kindhearted person on the inside. He was always willing to give a helping hand. In his later years, John loved to visit his friends at Days Bowl a Dome with his adopted dog Charlie.

John is survived by his wife Jeanne, and his brothers, Richard, Wausau, Tom, Harshaw and Dennis of Rockford IL.
