Richard Gwidt Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Dick grew up in Pulaski and graduated from Pulaski High School. He farmed on the family farm with his brother, Pat, for a few years before running his own farm in the Town of Maple Grove. Dick also worked as the agronomy manager at the Pulaski- Chase Co-op for over 44 years, until his retirement.
On March 1, 2002, he married Debra Wallen at Peace Lutheran Church. Dick was an avid bowler. When his children were young, he helped with 4H. He always enjoyed cooking for guests; they would often call his house the "Gwidt Restaurant." He loved the Packers and was a season ticket holder for many years. Richard and Debra enjoyed many years of traveling. Deb would always say to Richard "life is a journey, not just a destination".
Dick was a kind, soft-spoken person and had the biggest heart. He would do anything for anyone.
Survivors include his wife, Debra Gwidt; children: Scott (Melissa) Gwidt and Chrystal (Rich) Teddy; three grandchildren: Caitlyn, Henry, and Connor; sisters: Marilyn (Leo) Skaletski and Janet Lasecki; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law: Gloria Gwidt, Margaret Gwidt, Su (Curt) Boehm, Chris (Bob) Schuh, Paula (Dave) Reno, Jim (Kathy) Wallen, and Chuck (Patti) Wallen; and many nieces, nephews, and other relatives.
In addition to his parents, Dick was preceded in death by his siblings: Regina (Syl) Maroszek, Elizabeth (Roman) Kabara, John Gwidt, Raymond Gwidt, Gertrude (Ed) Kabara, William Gwidt, Martha (Norb) Wanek, Florence Gwidt, Robert (Melanie) Gwidt, and Patrick Gwidt; and a brother-in-law, Vernon "Pete" Lasecki.
Friends are invited to gather with family at Marnocha Funeral Home, 186 E. Pulaski St., Pulaski, on Friday, November 15, from 10 a.m. until 12 noon. The Funeral Service will take place at 12 noon with Pastor Stuart Dornfeld officiating.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the St. Vincent 6th floor ICU staff for their excellent care and kindness.
Online condolences may be offered to the family at www.marnochafuneralhome.com or on the Marnocha Funeral Home Facebook page.
Richard, Dad, and Grandpa you always brought us a little wisdom, happiness, warmth, and love. We love you so much and will always miss you.

My sincere condolences to the Gwidt family. I grew up a next door neighbor to Dick and I worked with him for a short while at the Coop. I will always remember him for the bloody lip he would send me home with after playing tackle football with him and Bob on a Sunday afternoon. He was short in stature, but his thighs were powerfully.
Rest in Peace, God be with your family in this time of great sorrow.
