• Combined celebration of life for Antoinette Bertolas & Tony Jeske- Monday July 31st at Estabrook Park Beer Garden in Shorewood WI from 5 pm until 8pm.

With a heavy heart and great sadness, we share the news of the passing of our father Anthony Jeske at the age of 84.

Tony was born to Elizabeth (née Berger) and Roland Jeske. He was born and raised in Milwaukee WI along with his sisters, Katherine and Dianne.

He joined the Navy and was stationed in Newfoundland and at China Lake Naval Air Station. This is also where he married the love of his life, Antoinette Bertolas.

After the Navy, they returned to Wisconsin and raised their three children, Sharon, Steve, and Joanne in Germantown.

Tony was a graduate of the University of Wisconsin – Whitewater.

Tony was a great father, husband, brother, uncle, and friend. He enjoyed spending time with his family, sailing, marksmanship, playing music, and reading. He spent his career in inventory & production control working his way up to Vice President. He then bought his own company, Sunshine Industries, supplying businesses with soaps & cleaning supplies. Antoinette and Tony retired to San Diego while still in their fifties and enjoyed their time there. They were long time members of the Silver Gate Yacht Club, where Tony was able to sail year-round. He also was an avid volunteer throughout his life, from Boy Scouts, to the Maritime Museum, and most recently, as Treasurer of the San Diego Central County Parkinson’s Support Groups (www.sdccpsg.org).

He was preceded in death by his parents, Elizabeth & Roland Jeske, sisters Kathy Loomis and Dianne Henley, and granddaughter Darla Neff.

Tony is survived by his children, Sharon Jeske Borie (Marc), Joanne Jeske LaJoice (Pete LaJoice), and Stephen Bertolas Jeske (Amy Doke), grandchildren Seth & Tony LaJoice, and Davey Florence. In addition, he has many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends that will miss him greatly.

His loving wife Antoinette passed away earlier this month and they are now together.

A combined celebration of life for Antoinette Bertolas & Tony Jeske will be held on Monday July 31st at Estabrook Park Beer Garden in Shorewood WI from 5 pm until 8pm.
