Alvin Puetz Obituary

Alvin PUETZ July 1, 1914 to Oct. 5, 2007 Passed away peacefully in his sleep as a result of pneumonia. He was preceded in death by his wife Ruby and son Larry. He leaves behind his grandson Charles, daughter-in-law Elizabeth, sister-in-law & guardian Frances Graber (Louis), sister Irene Kelley, his caregivers Job, Terry & Greg, and several nieces and nephews. Alvin was co-founder of Puetz Gofl Driving Range with his brother Peter. At one time they had the largest warehouse of golf equipment west of the Mississippi. Due to Al's shrewd buying they were able to sell their wares at a reduced price, making it possible for many people to take up the sport. Al & Ruby had a very good life. In Lieu of flowers donation can be made to Swedish Hospice. There will be no services.
