Newspaper Notice
Gute, Daniel Browne M.D. Gute, Katherine Tobin Husband and wife of fifty-three years, chose to leave this world with dignity on Sunday, July 18, 2010. Dan and Kitty were residents of River Hills, Wisconsin and Tucson, Arizona. Dan, known as Danny to his friends, was born August 4, 1930 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Dr. Edwin and Florence Gute. He was predeceased by his sisters, Mary Suzanne Gute, at age 12, and Sally Gute Clarke, at age 81. Dan graduated from Milwaukee Country Day School, Northwestern University and Northwestern University Medical School and served as a Flight Surgeon in the United States Navy and Air Force. Dan was a well respected urological surgeon and was well admired during his tenures at Columbia Hospital, St. Alphonsus Hospital (Port Washington) and St. Joseph’s (West Bend) and with his private practice, Urologic Service Corporation. Dan received a Traveling Fellowship Award from the American Urological Association and served as a Clinical Professor of Urology at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Dan also served as President of the Town of Saukville, Wisconsin and was proud of his successes there in limiting the expansion of limestone quarrying in the township. He was an avid sailor who turned to golf later in life in his native Wisconsin and his adopted Sonoran Desert. Kitty Gute was born on March 4, 1932 in Chicago, Illinois to Howard and Mary Tobin. Kitty was a graduate of Downer Seminary and Smith College. Kitty was a dedicated member of the board of directors of numerous organizations, including the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Foundation, the Green Tree Garden Club, The Nature Conservancy and Riveredge Nature Center. Kitty was a Teacher Naturalist and sought fiercely to improve our natural environment. She loved the land that she and Dan owned in Kiel, Wisconsin and later in Fredonia, Wisconsin, and, with Dan, loved her time in Great Exuma, Bahamas. Kitty was a spirited competitor and an accomplished athlete, well respected on the tennis courts, until her knees failed her, and on the golf course, where she was twice Milwaukee Country Club Women’s Golf Champion. Although Kitty suffered from dementia and Alzheimer’s in her last year, she grew sweeter each week. Dan and Kitty were proud parents of Mary Gute Witte (Bayside, Wisconsin), Susan Gute Rogers (Minneapolis, Minnesota and Shenzhen, China) and Constance Gute Walsh (Wellesley, Massachusetts), and exceptional parents-in-law to Edward (Ned) Witte, Mark Rogers and Jeffrey Walsh. Opah and Mashie were even prouder grandparents of their 10 grandchildren: Daniel Witte, Toby Witte, Nick Witte, Sandy Witte, Sammy Rogers, Charlie Rogers, Joey Rogers, Katie Walsh, Abi Walsh and Callie Walsh. All of Dan and Kitty’s daughters, sons-in-law and grandchildren survive them. Dan and Kitty are also survived by Dan’s sister Sally’s daughters, Nancy Crawford and Mary Clarke. Deep gratitude to Dan and Kitty’s physician and friend, Dr. Bruce Wilson, for his consistent care, support and love. Dan and Kitty would have hoped their loving act could open a dialogue on the right of all, particularly the elderly and those who are afflicted with terminal illnesses, to decide for themselves when to end their lives. A gathering and celebration of Dan and Kitty’s lives will be held at Milwaukee Country Club on Saturday, August 7, 2010 from four to seven o’clock.
