Richard Wisniewski Obituary

Wisniewski, Richard "Wisco" Passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, December 17, 2015 at the age of 71. Beloved husband of Phyllis (nee Schaffner) for 38 years. Proud father of Sara (David) Northway. Loving grandfather of Ben and Sam. Preceded in death by his parents Harry and Margaret (nee Schlass) and his sister Judy. Further survived by other dear relatives and friends. Wisco was a man of love. He loved his family above all else, and he dearly loved being a grandpa. Wisco loved golf and his cars and he truly loved being with his friends, old and new. Although he will be missed more than we can say, we know that his love is stronger than death and that Wisco, and his love, will live in our hearts, always. Visitation at Max A. Sass & Sons Greenridge Chapel on Monday, December 28 from 4-7PM. Service to follow at 7PM. Private burial at Highland Memorial Park.
