DUANE EARL “TIDLER” CHANEY Duane Earl “Tidler” Chaney age 90, of the Town of Crandon, passed away on Tuesday, April 23, 2019, at Ascension Hospital in Rhinelander, surrounded by his family. Duane was born at his parents farm on February 3, 1929; son of George and Evalee (Allen) Chaney. On April 18, 1949, he married Mary Jane (Specht) his wife of 69 years. Duane was an avid hunter and hunting guide. He was a true hound's man, and loved to fish. He had worked in Alaska with his brother and worked in Milwaukee with his wife, Mary, and for over 30 years for the Forest County Highway Dept. He loved his sports, either playing baseball in his younger years or watching it on TV, and listening to the Brewers on the radio. He was a Packer and Brewers fan, sometimes more so if they were winning! Duane is survived by his sister and brother-in law Cora Mae (David) Campbell, four children, Sherry (David) Chaney, Jo Ann (Glenn) Hubert, Terri (Paul) Jenkins, John (Linda) Chaney, six grandchildren Richard (Tina) Kulaf, Duane (Shannon) Johnson, Jessica (David) Fernandez, Tricia (Jeremy) Jenkins, Darcy (Keith) Bradley, and Erin (Jake) Mayer, and 12 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Duane was preceded in death by his parents, George and Evalee, wife Mary, four brothers and sister-in laws, Garland (Margie), Maynard (Mattie), Donald (Martha), and Kenny (Gerry), three sisters Dorothy, Denver (Gary) Jameson, Shirley (Larry) Calhoun-Johnson. Duane requested to be cremated, but there will be a celebration of life for him and his wife Mary later this summer. He will be sadly missed by all of his family and many close friends, hunting buddies and co workers. Online condolences may be left for the family at www.weberhillfuneralhome.com
