Joseph Bertrand “Joe” Huntington, age 82 of Clintonville WI, passed away peacefully on Saturday, October 3, 2026, after a battle with dementia. He was born to Dolores Alvina Garska and Harry Alfred Huntington on March 8, 1944, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He was baptized in Milwaukee on March 9, 1944, and confirmed at St. Francis Solanus Catholic Church in Gresham on November 1, 1959. Joe graduated from Gresham High School in June 1962. He was married to Maureen Stern at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Shawano on May 9, 1964, and was blessed with four children, Mark, Kim, Paul and Jeff.

Joe will be remembered not only for his many years as a truck driver with Schneider Transport and later as the owner of Cedar Lane Bus Tours, but also for the friendships he made along the way. He was happiest when he could sit down with friends at the local diner, enjoy a pot of coffee, and share stories. Those simple moments of friendship, laughter, and conversation were an important part of Joe’s life and are memories that will be cherished by all who knew him.

Joe is survived by his two sons, Paul (Sherry) Huntington and Jeff (Susan) Huntington; daughter-in-law, Mary Huntington wife of the late Mark Huntington; granddaughter-in-law, Jaime Huntington, wife of the late Brice Huntington; grandchildren, Breanne (Joe Renkas) Huntington, Brooke (Josh) Rouse, Bronson (Dartania) Huntington, Brynn (Drew Koehne) Huntington, Nathan (fiancée Lauren Nourse) Huntington, Justin (Kelsi) Huntington, Grace Huntington, Ava Huntington, and Maxwell Huntington; and 10 great-grandchildren, with one more on the way; and siblings, Bonnie Engel, Harry "Bud" (Jane) Huntington, Esther Schmidt, Steven (Patricia) Huntington, Sally (Jeff Stezenski) Huntington, Tim (Beth) Huntington, Wendy (Lee) Hafner, Tom (Lauren) Huntington, Bert (Mary Beth) Huntington, Dan (Denise) Huntington.
