William Bruce Hawkins

William Bruce Hawkins, 79, sailor, woodworker, and photographer known by his grandchildren as the “tall man with the camera” on Beaver Lake, died peacefully at sunset Jan. 29 with his wife at his side.

Born Dec. 14, 1946, in Richmond, VA, Bruce grew up in Charlotte, NC, attended the University of Richmond, and graduated from the University of North Carolina —Charlotte. After graduation, he joined the Hawkins Company, founded by his father, William, followed by a four-decade career with Nash Engineering and Gardner-Denver.

He spent many childhood summers at a family cabin on the Ware River, which flows into the Chesapeake Bay, crabbing and sailing with his brother, sisters, and cousins.

Bruce met his wife, Sue, through her brother, Robert Van Vleet, his longtime friend. They were married Dec. 29, 2005, in Barbados, West Indies, and enjoyed years of sailing on Beaver Lake, golfing, biking, and tennis. They wintered on Longboat Key, FL, and in St. Maartin, West Indies, where he leaves behind a beloved community of friends.

He was a member of the Chenequa Country Club, the Beaver Lake Yacht Club, the Experimental Aircraft Association, and the Heiliger Huegel Ski Club.

Bruce loved photography and could often be seen around Beaver Lake with his Canon camera hanging around his neck, photographing yacht club activities. His photos regularly appeared in the Dinghy, the yacht club’s annual magazine. His passion was capturing the elusive green flash, which appears just as the sun’s upper rim dips below the horizon.

Survivors include his wife; children, Kelsey Willard and Michael; grandchildren, Sam, Wolfgang, and Mary Lynn; sisters, Lynn Rogney, Judy (Ted) Swaim, Betsy (Bob) McClelland; brother, Lewis; and many other relatives and friends.

Burial services were private. Donations in Bruce’s memory may be directed to a charity of your choice.

Timothy M. Wong

Timothy Michael Wong found his peace on Thursday, February 5th, 2026 at age 58. Tim was born in Prairie du Chien on June 22, 1967 and lived in Waukesha, Wi, working many years as a painter and driver.

Tim was a man with truly a huge heart. He found joy in simple things and took pride in living life his own way. If you met him, you would remember him. He had a gift for conversation and connection, which made him a top-rated Uber driver and someone people genuinely enjoyed being around. He loved the open road, meeting new faces, and hearing the stories of others.

A devoted sports fan, Tim’s loyalty to the Milwaukee Brewers and the Green Bay Packers was unmatched. Game days were more than events — they were traditions filled with passion, excitement, and spirited conversations with family and friends.

An animal lover, Tim shared a special bond with his beloved cats, Sophie and Q-tip. Inseparable companions, they were truly a little family of their own.

Above all, Tim loved his family. He was preceded in death by his parents Dr. James Reginald Wong and Patricia Bluett Wong. Stepson of Nancy (James) Wong. Brother of Mary Wong, Patricia (Jason) Wheeler, Donna (Patrick) Balistreri, Patrick (Leslie) Wong, and Ashley (Daniel) Wong Grossman; and his cherished nieces and nephews. He leaves behind countless memories of laughter, sports outings, meaningful conversations, and quiet acts of kindness.

A Celebration of Life will be held this summer with Tim's immediate family. Donations in Tim's name can be directed to Humane Animal Welfare Society - HAWS of Waukesha County.

Rest easy, Tim, be at peace.

Michael J. Mooney

Michael James Mooney, 74, passed away on February 4, 2026.

Michael was born in Aurora, Colorado on December 15, 1951, to Quentin and Catherine (nee Lynch) Mooney. They spent most of his childhood in Naperville, Illinois. Obtaining a bachelor’s degree in Business from Marquette, a bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Carroll College, as well as a CPA designation, he spent many years working as an accountant. After he transitioned to working as a substitute teacher, he always enjoyed the friendly greetings from his former students when running into them later in the community.

Michael met Judy after a rugby injury brought him into her physical therapy offices. The two married in 1980 and spent 45 years together sharing in many adventures. They enjoyed traveling together, which included cross-country skiing in Switzerland, seeing the sights in Iceland, and taking many trips hiking and backpacking out West. They also ran in many 10K races around the Milwaukee area.

Michael “Mooner” had many interests, both quiet and adventure-filled. He completed over 200 parachute jumps, went rock climbing in the Tetons, and participated in a rugby club for several years. Michael loved storytelling and was always good for a laugh or a crazy story. He also loved to read, especially about history. He had a library filled with books and could cite specific books and passages that pertained to topics that came up in conversation. Another passion of his was biking. He enjoyed going for leisurely rides around Hartland, as well as seeking out the hilliest routes to ride in Southwest Wisconsin, which included the Horribly Hilly Hundreds bike ride. Being a devoted father, he loved spending time with his kids. He coached their soccer and basketball teams for many years and enjoyed vacations with them, including multiple trips to Beaver Island, which was one of his favorite places to go.

Michael is survived by his wife, Judy; his children Quentin (Robyn) Mooney and Kelsey (Mike) Sinense; his grandchildren Lucy and Weston Mooney; Zoe, Isaiah, Harmony and Joshua Sinense; and his great-grandchildren Angelo, Ace and Valencia Sinense. He is further survived by his brother, Jack (Sue) Mooney; his nieces Mary, Kathy and Anne Mooney; his nephews John (Aliucha), Michael (Natasha) and Tim (Giusi) Mooney; as well as great nieces, great nephews and many dear friends.

He is preceded in death by his parents Quentin and Catherine Mooney, his aunt Virginia and Uncle Tom Calt, grandparents and other relatives.
