WI Soldier’s Remains Return Home


A Wisconsin soldier’s remains are finally home, nearly 80 years after he gave his life for his country. 

Army Pfc. William “Sonny” Simon’s remains were brought home to Middleton Friday night, four months after the remains were accounted for overseas.  Simon, born and raised in Middleton, was killed in action in November, 1944.  He was only 20 years old.  Police escorted the convoy carrying his remains past his childhood home.  Funeral services are set for next week.
