Alfred Schoreder Obituary
Alfred Clarence "Dick" Schroeder
Dec. 30, 1928 – Jan. 1, 2023
MADISON – Alfred Clarence "Dick" Schroeder, age 94, of Madison, passed away on Sunday, Jan. 1, 2023.
Dick lived much of his life in the Madison/Stoughton area after growing up in Sheboygan. He was a man of many talents, but his greatest talent was being a family man. He loved his wife, kids and grandchildren with his whole heart. He touched many lives through being a teammate, teacher, storyteller, coach, golf buddy, diehard Badgers fan and a Packers stockholder.
Dick is survived by his son and daughter-in-law, Rick and Jean (Wisener) Schroeder; son, Rob Schroeder; grandchildren, Riley (Allison) Schroeder and Hilary (Joe) Daufenbach; great-grandchildren, Parker and Decker Schroeder and Sophie Daufenbach; son-in-law, Jim O'Brien and his family; and many nieces and nephews who love their Uncle Dick. He was preceded in death by the love of his life, his wifey, Alta; and their beloved daughter, Pam; his and Alta's parents; siblings and their spouses; and other relatives and dear friends.
In Schroeder fashion, we are looking forward to celebrating Dad in a casual setting with a few snackies and a lot of stories at GUNDERSON EAST FUNERAL AND CREMATION CARE, 5203 Monona Drive, Madison, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 21, 2023.

Dick and I worked a summer job together for George Murphy, my brother-in-law, aka City Wide Insulation Company. He was a great workmate, making light of our job of installing very itchy fiber glass batts into the side walls of new homes.
Along the way I also learned a lot about history from this well-educated teacher.
I was and always will be a big baseball fan and it was great to see Dick the ballplayer perform at second base and in the batter's box!
RIP my friend. John Lynn Amundson, brother of Harriet Murphy.

I was blessed to work with Al Dick Schroeder for four or five summers from 1959 to 1964, in Madison; insulating for his teammate, and my brother-in-law, George Murphy.
Sadly, I just now saw his obituary! Very sad to hear about his passing. I was a college student and he was a teacher; no matter, insulation played no favorites, it made everyone itch. He was a wonderful man- very funny. I often have on those 'good old days,' and I will always have fond memories of him. RIP my friend!

I am so sorry for your loss. Dick was 1 of my teachers at Schenk School. In the last few years we reconnected & have a couple photos I will always cherish. I adored him. May you find peace.
