Amos W. Prietzel, age 94, of Richfield, formerly of Plymouth, went home to be with his Lord on Sunday, April 14, 2013, at Vitas Ruth Hospice in West Allis.

He was born in Plymouth on September 4, 1918 son of the late William J. and Cora (Laack) Prietzel. William J. was the long time president of Heritage Insurance.

He attended St. John Grade School and graduated from Plymouth High School, furthering his education at Sheboygan Business College.

Amos farmed on the family homestead until 1960, worked for Bordens, along with owning and operating St. Francis Liquor Store.

He was a former member of Salem Plankroad Church in the town of Sheboygan Falls where he sang in the choir and served as a Deacon.

He is survived by a daughter Diane Prietzel (Nancy Senkbeil) of Green Bay, a son William (Janice) Prietzel of Richfield, two grandchildren Anthony (Natalie) Prietzel of Racine, Jennifer Prietzel of West Allis, and six great grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his wives, and two daughters Judith and Joyce.

Dear Bill & Jan,
My sincerest sympathies in the loss of your father, Bill. Though I never met him, I'm sure he was a man of integrity & respect for those who got to know him, as evidenced by a son who is a credit to his example.
