William Schulz Obituary

William Arthur Schulz died peacefully on 9/29/25 at the age of 81. Born to Henry and Marion (nee Wagner). Brother to Carol Ann, Robert (Cindy), Margaret, Linda (James Barnett) and David (Kristen). Preceded in death by siblings Lawrence and Virginia. Beloved husband of 56 years to Patricia (nee Hoss). Proud father to Matthew, Barbara (Lee Esker), Catherine (Gerardo Ochoa) and Judith (Nicholas). Adoring grandfather to Katherine, Samuel, Madeline, Gabriel, Basil, Connie (Nicholas Mand) and Samantha (Nicholas Puschnig).

He personified love and dedication in all things. He avidly watched and participated in movement of any kind. His family and friends are comforted knowing he is now pain free, walking and running. We believe he is in heaven with a stopwatch around his neck, timing the 40 yard dashes of the angels. 

In lieu of flowers, memorials appreciated to the Milwaukee Rescue Mission. William's family would like to extend a very special thank you to the staff and community of Maple Ridge Nursing Home.
