is survived by his mother-in-law, Connie Lueck, of Fond du
Lac
; 2 brothers-in-law, Dave Kwakkel of Brandon,
and Frank (Carrie) Lueck, of Fond du
Lac

death by his parents; 4 siblings, Karen Kwakkel, James Schmitz, Kenneth Schmitz
and Mary Schneider; and 2 brothers-in-law, Bill Schneider and James Stubbe; and
his father-in-law, Bill Lueck .

The family would
like to give a special thanks to the 6th floor nurses at St. Agnes Hospital as well as Agnesian hospice staff for
making Dick comfortable.
