181.	Robert Wayne WARGIN	8 Mar 1938
182.	Richard Dennis WARGIN	22 Dec 1941
183.	*Joan Karen WARGIN*	21 Mar 1944

Casimer was a tailor most of his life and moved around quite often working for companies such as Universal Studios or on his own. He even tailored clothes for Mr. FOLEY of the Foley & Burke Circus and uniforms for World War II. Casimer also apparently worked other jobs on occasion, such as a drill press operator for the Heil Company in Milwaukee.

Casimer was a nearly bald, stocky man with bright white hair around the sides and a jolly attitude. He always had the same old jokes ready for any mundane situation, but his outlook was refreshing compared to that of his serious, skeptical wife, Blanche.

Casimer married Blanche M. SIKORSKI, the only daughter of two Polish immigrants, on 6 June 1936. They were married by Rev. Henry NIEFER in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. At the time, Casimer was living at 515 E. Lincoln Avenue in Milwaukee and Blanche was living at 2203 S. 6th Street in Milwaukee. Casimer was working as a park employee and Blanche as a social worker.

After marrying Blanche, the couple began moving around the country. Soon after their marriage, they moved to either Burbank or Glendale in Los Angeles County where Casimer got a job tailoring costumes for Universal Studios. They lived there through at least 1938 when their first son, Bob arrived.

By 1941, the family had moved to Florida where their second son, Richard was born.

Once again, the family moved, this time back to Milwaukee. By 1944, Casimer was working as a drill press operator for the Heil Company and daughter Joan Karen was born. Not long after this, the family pulled up stakes again and moved back to California, this time to Vallejo, in Solano County, where Casimer got a job making uniforms at Mare Island Naval Shipyard for the war effort .

Around 1948, Casimer and Blanche joined the Jehovah's Witnesses. After Blanche's death on Christmas Day, 1980, he remarried to LaVerne B. GEHLE, whom he had known since his youth. He left the Jehovah's Witnesses and attended Baptist services with his new bride. A few years later, on Christmas Day, 1983, Casimer suffered a heart attack while sitting in his car in a store parking lot. He went into a coma and died a few weeks later on 8 January 1984. He buried in Milwaukee.

LaVerne (GEHLE) WARGIN succumbed to colon cancer and died in April 1999 in Milwaukee. She is buried next to Casimer in Milwaukee.

19. Jadwiga "Hedwig" WARGIN was born a Mongoloid in 1911. He died 15 years later in 1926.
