Timothy Peter Hotujec, age 67, passed away at his home on Sunday, December 10, 2017 after a difficult and extended battle with cancer.

Tim was born in Eau Claire, Wisconsin on Sept 12, 1950 to Margaret (Rudd) & Peter Hotujec.  Tim graduated from Eau Claire Memorial High School. He went on to earn his Bachelor’s Degree from UW Eau Claire and his Master’s Degree from UW River Falls.

He started his career teaching at Hudson School District where he taught Middle School Math.  He loved teaching and retired after 30 years in 2006 when his health no longer allowed him to continue.  He will be remembered for his kindness and humor in the classroom – especially his famous Superman impression.  Tim also coached 7th grade football and enjoyed watching the Raiders.

Tim was united in marriage to Darlene (Kiphart) in 1973. Together they had three children, Matthew (Krista Ostrom) Hotujec, Melissa (Thomas) Eibner and Michael (Jill) Hotujec.  He was an extremely proud Grandfather to five grandchildren and when he was able, he enjoyed attending their sporting events. He is also survived by his younger brothers, Tom (Rebecca) and Tony (Jan).

Tim loved his fishing and hunting trips with his friends, especially his annual ice fishing trip “up north.” He was also an avid Packer fan and always made sure the grandchildren were properly outfitted with Packer gear.  

He would want us all to remember to keep smiling.

A Gathering of Family and Friends will be held from 4:00-6:00 PM on Thursday, December 21, followed by a 6:00 PM Memorial Service at the O’Connell Family Funeral Home, 520 S. 11th St., Hudson, WI.
