Union Grove – Dean "Dino" A. Vnuk, age 67, passed away after a long battle with cancer on August 1, 2025, at his residence surrounded by his loving family. He was born on May 30, 1958, to parents Joseph and Sylvia (nee. Adamczyk) Vnuk. Dean graduated from South Milwaukee High School in 1976. He worked as a millwright and retired from JI Case after 30 years. On February 17, 2017, he married his best friend, Jarilyn Pries.
