David Haertl Obituary

David A. Haertl

Colgate - Found peace on December 17, 2020 at age 83. Loving husband of Joyce for 60 years. Proud father of Lori (Cliff) Brookman, Robin (Paul) LeTendre, Michael (Hector Torres). Grandfather of Elise and Ryan. Also survived by his sister Cele Kress.

David married his high school sweetheart 60 years ago. Throughout his life he touched many with his love of helping others. He enjoyed golf and loved cheering on the Packers, Brewers, and Badgers. He especially loved spending time with his family.

David worked 55 years at Milwaukee Mack Sales. He was Fire Chief for Richfield Fire Department for 12 years and he belonged to the American Legion.

His presence will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Private family services will be held. A public celebration of life will be held at a later date.
