David Punzel Obituary
He was known simply as Pa Punz to a far-flung group of friends and family. A salesman, primarily of furniture in his working days; he transitioned easily into retirement. He embraced his grandpa role, eagerly attending any sporting event, concert or ceremony featuring any of his grandchildren. He savored the simple pleasures from reading a good mystery book to watching the Brewers every night and following his fantasy baseball team, bemoaning its performance to anyone who would listen; to sipping his three o'clock beer each afternoon. He loved to travel in his later years, making frequent trips to California to keep up on the family there.
He is survived by his son, Dwight (Rene) Punzel, Castro Valley, Calif., and their children, Dustin (Kait) Punzel, Erin, Josh and Ester Punzel; great- granddaughter, Addison; son, Dennis (Bev) Punzel, Madison, Wis., and their children, Austin and Carrie Punzel; daughter, Debbie Falzone, Alameda, Calif., and her children, Nick (Heidi Galla) Falzone, Stephanie and Gabe Falzone; daughter, Diana (Jeff) Dreger, Manitowoc, and their children, Allison (Ben) Zeitler, Kyle (Abby Breitung) Dreger, Evan Dreger; son, Doug (Carla) Punzel, Green Bay, and their children, Zach, Mandy (Ian Roberts) and Jacob Punzel; granddaughter, Megan (Matti Salomaki) Speckmann, San Francisco, Calif.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Doris; daughter, Doreen Speckmann.
Friends may call at Faith Chapel, 800 High Meadow Ct., on Friday, Oct. 28, 2011, from 10 to 11 a.m. Memorial service 11 a.m. Friday at the church. Proko-Wall Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements. Online condolences may be expressed at www.prokowall.com.
The family would like to thank the staff at Aurora BayCare Oncology, in particular Dr. Gautam for all of their care and concern. Also a special thank you to the staff at Rennes Health and Rehab and Manitowoc Health and Rehab for the care given to our father.

To the Punzel family, I loved waiting on Dave quite a bit when he would come in for his chicken dinner @ "The Woods".... later, when he did not drive Brenda his (neighbor) who graciously would bring him in, then the 2 of them would enjoy the same chicken dinners together... and the commaradarie was enjoyed by us all... he will be missed greatly, he was passionate in his beliefs and liked by all whom he encountered, a very endearing man... Kathy (waitress @ the Woods) my condolences.
