Paul J. "Pud" Ambrosius, 49, of De Pere , passed away unexpectedly Tuesday evening, December 30, 2008 at home. The son of George Ambrosius and the late Doris Mae (Huben) Ambrosius was born June 16, 1959 in Green Bay and lived all of his life in West DePere. He was a 1977 graduate of West De Pere High School. Pud enjoyed hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, softball, golfing, and was a fan of NASCAR racing and enjoyed following sports of all sorts. He was an original and long-time participant in the Pink Flamingo Tournament. His farm haywagon was the start of the Pink Flamingo "floats" in the annual parade. Paul took special pride in his up north getaway where he loved fishing on Post Lake, and snowmobiling around the area. He'll always be remembered for preparing the Farmhouse for the family gathering at Christmas. He was employed at Tape, Inc, for 25 years until the company closed the Green Bay Plant. Pud was greatly loved and will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. Survivors include his father, George, brothers, Dale (Cheryl), Tom (Debbie), Jack (Lori), sisters, Barb Spang (Tom), Lois Burt (Randy), and his nieces and nephews, Christina Domka (Andy), Melinda Spang (friend Miguel), Samantha Burt, Robert Burt, Kyle Ambrosius, Megan Ambrosius and great nephew, Corbin Domka.
