Philip Eugene Poffenberger, March 2, 1940 – August 12, 2019

Philip Poffenberger, Poplar Grove, IL, passed away on August
12th, from complications of liver disease. Phil was born March 2nd,
1940 to Wayne and Edith Poffenberger in Beloit, WI. After graduating
valedictorian from North Boone High School in 1958, he received a scholarship
from Beloit College. Phil went on to have an extensive career with
International Harvester for over 40 years.

Phil married his high school sweetheart Dianne Dimond, going
on to have three daughters; Susan, Paula, and Betsy. In his younger days he
played slow pitch softball, known for his backward toss to pick off the second
base runner. He also loved fishing, camping, and playing golf. Their brief stay
in Florida gave him ample time to perfect his one-handed putt.

After retiring, Phil spent many nights in gymnasiums and
theaters watching and supporting his grandchildren.

He is survived by his wife Dianne Poffenberger; his
daughters, Susan (Don) Koneval, Paula (Kurt) Broski, Betsy (Darrel) Cosgray;

his brothers Curtis and Kenneth Poffenberger.
