RACINE – Earl H. Born, Jr. passed away on March 11, 2022, at the age of 89. He was born on April 15, 1932 to Earl H. Born Sr. and Mildred (Hanson) Born. A lifelong resident of Racine, Earl was passionate about sports. He was an accomplished slow-pitch softball player and bowler, avid golfer and fisherman. In 1998 Earl was inducted into the Racine Bowl Assoc. Hall of Fame. His two favorite places to vacation were northern Wisconsin and Las Vegas.
Earl was employed by J.I. Case for 37 ½ years. He was a hard worker, always providing for his family, even working several part-time jobs during union strikes. After retirement from Case, he never felt comfortable just sitting around. That was when he found his dream job at South Hills Country Club, assisting golfers for the next 17 years.
On September 22, 1956, Earl and Judith Luxem were married at Holy Communion Lutheran Church. They were together until her sudden death on May 14, 2020.
Earl is survived by his son David Born, daughter and son-in-law Susan (Ed) McCrickard, daughter Sally McReynolds (Paul Schatzman), son-in-law Frank Bisotti, grandson Jacob McReynolds, granddaughter Jenna McReynolds, family and friends too numerous to mention. He is preceded in death by his wife, Judy and daughter, Sandy.
The family would like to thank People Care for assisting him at home. Thank you to the staff at Parkview Gardens Memory Care for making his last few months dignified and comfortable.

My condolences to the Born children – I’m sorry that you were unable to have a service for your mom. Your parents were a big part of the Rubberville neighborhood fun that made my early childhood there memorable. God Bless.

Ralph & Kathy Born Jr, El Paso, TX says
There are many fond memories of growing in the Born Family, back in the day when everyone was much closer and gatherings for no reason at all, were a common occurrence. I will always remember the wonderful times I spent with Uncle Earl, Aunt Judy and growing up with David, Susan, Sandy and Sally. May we all once meet again, as our journeys end.
