Gene A. "Bones" Tank, age 78 of Oshkosh, died at his home on Thursday, April 9, 2009. He was born in Oshkosh on December 13, 1930 to Arthur and Flora (Zweifel) Tank. On July 31, 1954 he married Beatrice J. Binder in St. Vincent Catholic Church.
Bones was a good husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He loved the outdoors: hunting, fishing, golfing, and camping at Jellystone Park. He worked for Rockwell as a tool maker for 43 years. A handyman and jack of all trades he was a trusted advisor. Bones was fair and honest. A man with deep faith, he was a lifetime member of Bethany United Church of Christ where he served as treasurer for many years. He would tell you that he took Religion 101. He was energetic, had a good sense of humor, and a thirst for knowledge. He loved to travel.
Surviving Bones are his wife of 54 years, Beatrice; children: Gary (Helen), Glen (Lori), Steve, Sandy Earl, and Mark (Jennifer); grandchildren: Connie, Dawn, Jamie, Courtney, Neenah, Whitney, and Carrigan; great-granddaughter, Alli; brother, LeRoy (Gloria) Tank; and many nieces and nephews.
