Richard Dvorak Obituary

Visit the Church & Chapel Funeral Home - West Allis website to view the full obituary.
Richard "The Judge" E. Dvorak,
Rick went Home to Heaven, joining his mother on Saturday, July 12, 2025, in West Allis, at the age of 65. Born on May 22, 1960, in Milwaukee.
Rick was a loving son to his father, Dennis Dvorak, and held dear the memory of his mother, Delia "Dee-Dee" (nee Spang) Dvorak, who predeceased him. He was a dear brother to Anni (Rob) Lowry and a proud uncle of Rachel Cox, Elizabeth (Michael) Saeta, and Lauren Cox. Also remembered by other relatives and friends.
Rick's early years in Milwaukee were filled with the joy of family and the discovery of interests that would stay with him for life. His bond with his father, Dennis Dvorak, was fortified through countless hunting and fishing trips at the family's place in Black River Falls, Wisconsin. These experiences in the great outdoors shaped Rick into a man who appreciated the serenity of nature and the value of quiet moments.
Rick's commitment to service was evident when he joined the US Army, first entering from Fort Hood, Texas, before being stationed in Germany. His time in the military instilled in him a sense of discipline and camaraderie, which he carried with him long after his service was complete.
Following his military service, Rick returned to his roots, where he continued to indulge in the simple pleasures of life. He was an avid fan of the Green Bay Packers. He enjoyed watching the games, celebrating their victories, and remaining hopeful through their defeats. His love for his team was more than a pastime; it was a reflection of his loyalty and passion.
Rick was a man who appreciated the quiet moments in life. He was content in his solitude, finding joy in the simple things.
Relatives and friends may join the family on Saturday, July 26, at CHURCH AND CHAPEL FUNERAL HOME, 7626 W. Greenfield Ave., West Allis, from 1 PM until the time of the Memorial Service at 3 PM. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Richard "Rick" "The Judge", please visit our floral store.
