Adams, Wisconsin.
Funeral services will be 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, December 6, 2017 at the Immanuel Lutheran Church in Adams, Wisconsin. Rev. John Krebs will officiate. Interment will be at the Quincy Cemetery, Town of Quincy, Wisconsin.

Ivan was born November 27, 1926 in Waterloo, Wisconsin to William and Minnie (Boese) Perronne Sr. He was a veteran of WWII, and served in the Navy on the aircraft carrier, USS Shangri-la in the pacific theater of war. Ivan married Arlean Schmidt on October 28, 1950 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He worked for 38 years as a locomotive engineer for the Chicago & North Western Railroad, retiring in 1988.
In the late 1960’s, Ivan bought a parcel of land in the town of Quincy and put a trailer on it. For the next decade, he and his family frequently traveled there to vacation. One of the happiest days of his life came in July of 1990 when Ivan, his wife, daughter, son-in-law, and grandson all permanently relocated to new homes in the town of Quincy. He had realized his retirement dream and often referred to his new location as “God’s Country.”
While working on the railroad, Ivan attended vocational school and became skilled at autobody repair. He owned his own shop in Milwaukee for a time. Ivan loved camping, fishing, hunting and feeding the birds. He was an expert with the chainsaw but also planted countless trees in his lifetime. Ivan delighted in spending time with his grandson, Zach. He was a devoted caregiver to his wife, Arlean, who was ill for many years.
Ivan was an active member of Immanuel Lutheran Church, the American Legion Red Cloud Post #250, and a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers & Veteran’s Association of the C&NW Railway and a shareholder of the Green Bay Packers.
Memorials may be directed in Ivan’s memory to the American Legion Red Cloud Post#250 or the Immanuel Lutheran Church.
Ivan was preceded in death by his parents, William and Minnie (Boese) Perronne Sr.; beloved wife of 44 years, Arlean; seven sisters; and one brother.

I enjoyed knowing Ivan as a member of the Immanuel Lutheran Church. He had a smile for everyone and was a very special person to all. I will miss him…especially during the after service coffee hour. My thoughts and prayers are for his family during this difficult time. God Bless.
My deepest sympathy to you and your family, he was such a nice person, he will be missed by many people!!
Our sincere condolences during this time of loss. We remember seeing Ivan often at Subway and you’d ask him how things were and he’s say,”Terrible!” (In good humor of course) Dennis worked with Charolette and knew the respect she had for her father. We are praying for you all. Theresa and Dennis David and family

Jim and I are truly saddened by the passing of Your father..We will ALWAYS remember the kindness and love He showed to us..Thoughts and prayers !
I remember Ivan from when I was a little girl. His favorite line whenever asked how he was doing was “terrible”. This always brought a smile to my face. It was much to my pleasure that I learned I would be a caregiver for Ivan. He was just as I remembered as a child. We were all very fortunate to have him in our lives no matter how short or long the time was. I offer my condolences to the family and friends that have lost such a good man from their lives.
My prayers and thoughts are with you. I remember Ivan when I worked in Home Health, he was a wonderful, kind caring person. I always enjoyed talking with him. May God be with you.
So sorry on the loss of your beloved Grandfather, Zach. You, Leah and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
