Richard (Dick) Alan Schultz was born on September 3, 1932 and passed into The Presence of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on January 15, 2025 at the age of 92 years. Richard was married to Donna Lee Schultz for almost 72 years, until she passed into The Presence on November 5, 2024. Richard is survived by daughters Deborah Adams, Laurie Paramore and Stephanie Schultz, sons Randall and Gary. Richard was also blessed with 21 grandchildren and 26 great grandchildren. He is also survived by sisters Bernadine Roberts, Judith Steinpas and brothers James and Robert, and was preceded in death by sister Mildred Ziemke-Behling.
Richard and Donna joined Garfield Baptist Church (now, Spring Creek Church) in the 1950's, and served in various ministries, including Sunday school, Awana clubs, deacon, pulpit committee, and he also as a board member of Heritage Christian Schools.
You could not be around Dick for more than a few minutes without him sharing his faith in Jesus, and receiving a challenge to consider your soul's destiny.
Dick was a master bricklayer and stone mason, and was a co-owner of Keystone Masonry. He chose to be a bricklayer because he wanted to work outside.
Dick was an avid outdoorsman, including hunting and fishing. It was dangerous to be a chipmunk or red squirrel when he had his Sheridan air rifle handy.
Dick and Donna lived and raised their children in Menomonee Falls and vacationed with friends and family at Stormy Lake for almost 60 years. He loved to "take a dip" in Stormy, and teach his kids and grandchildren the fine art of catching smallmouth bass.
Dick's celebration of life service will occur on February 1, 2025. Visitation will begin at 10am at Spring Creek Church, Pewaukee, Wisconsin followed by the service at 11am.

Mr. Schultz (that's not Gary or Randy) played a large part in my early upbringing as both one of my Sunday School teachers and Awana Club leaders. Wonderful memories and a lasting impact on so many young lives.
