This precious little lady has touched so many lives. Our mother had a very strong faith, and always had her small baskets of prayers by her side. She prayed them every day and never went to sleep without her rosary. Over the years, her short term memory had been failing, but there was one thing that was always evident, her love for her family. Not a day went by when she didn't say, "how are the little ones? I think of them everyday". Their visits brought her so much joy and happiness. Mom was gentle but firm, had tremendous strength, unending courage, and infinite wisdom. She was ALWAYS thinking of others before herself, always so humble and gracious with everyone. We as your children were so blessed to have you in our lives for as long as we did. How we will miss your cute facial expressions, your finger raised and pointed at us, you great sense of humor, and your beautiful smile. We were so proud to call you our mother. On angel's wings, you are up where you belong, dancing with Dad, and at peace. Thank you for a lifetime of priceless memories, you are forever in our hearts. We love you Mom. The family would like to thank the staff on 4th floor at Shady Lane Home and Holy Family Memorial Hospice for all you loving care, concern, and compassion to our family during her short time there. We will never forget your kindness. Also thank you to Harmony Assisted Living in Manitowoc, her previous residence for 2 years, a place she called home.

RICHARD C. FRANZ, Sr. (sent in by researcher/see contributors page) Richard C. (Dick) Franz Sr., age 69, of 2704 S. 14th St., Manitowoc, entered into eternal rest Wednesday morning, Dec. 25, 2002 at his residence following a lengthy illness. He was born Aug. 27, 1933 in Manitowoc County, son of the late Emil H. and Louise (Kiel) Franz. Dick married (his wife) at Rockwood Evangelical Lutheran Church on Oct. 8, 1955. The couple made their home in the Mishicot area for many years, moving to Manitowoc in 1995. Dick was educated at Shoto School District No. 4 of the town of Two Rivers, Mishicot High School, the University of Wisconsin Short Course, Manitowoc Teacher's College, Silver Lake College and was a graduate of UW-Oshkosh, with a degree in elementary education and a minor in art. He taught at the Shoto School and later Pleasant View School until consolidation closed the one-room schools. He then taught at the Central School in Mishicot for one year. Following this, he gave up teaching to go into business for himself, starting in the upholstery trade. Tendonitis forced him to give up upholstery and continue his business career in woodworking, retiring in 1995. Also during the years he was in business, he spent 17 years as a janitor at St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Mishicot. He also drove buses for the Mishicot schools for several years. Devoting most of his life to conservation activities and efforts, Dick has done his part in making the earth a better place, planting trees and helping to preserve wildlife. In 1960, he purchased a run-down 100-acre farm where he remodeled the house, built a new barn, planted 72,500 trees and placed 40 acres under the old Forest Crop Law for 50 years. The rest of the land was used for Christmas trees, a pond for wildlife and fish and wildlife plants and cover. The Mishicot Sportsman's Club built pheasant pens for 600 birds on Dick's land and raised them for 10 years. He convinced more than 87 farmers to permit planting of the birds. It was during these same years that the club bought and developed what is now known as the Mishicot Sportsman's Park on Jambo Creek. Dick was involved in the development of the park and spent hundreds of unrecorded hours working on the club grounds and forest, as well as many hours with state, county and town officials to help with the growth of the club and the grounds. He promoted fund-raisers for the club to help in construction of the building on the grounds. He also designed the first bridge at Jambo Creek and assisted with the establishment of a wildlife pond with an island in the middle and a wood duck house on it in this area. Dick loved to cook at special events and some of the meetings. He made special grills from hot water heaters and cattle watering tanks to handle the large amounts of chicken and corn grilled. Dick became a lifetime member of the Mishicot Club around 1975. Dick was secretary of the Manitowoc County Fish and Game Protective Association during 1963-1964. Other sportsmen's clubs he was involved with over the years were Shoto Conservation Club, Westshore Sportsmen's Club, Larrabee Sportsmen's Club, Kelly Lake Sportsmen's Club, Klondike Sportsmen's Club and Pine River Sportsmen's Club. Dick was also a member of the Wisconsin Sportsmen, North American Hunting Club, National Rifle Association, Friends of the NRA Manitowoc County, Wisconsin Woodland Owner's Association, Manitowoc Fish and Game Protective Association and Conservation Education. He sold hunting and fishing licenses in the Mishicot area from his home for 10 years. Dick served on the Mishicot Village Board for one term and was village treasurer for one term. He belonged to the Mishicot and Francis Creek Lions clubs for a total of 20 years and also was a member of the Mishicot Fire Department for some years. Dick was involved in 4-H for about 16 years and was on the original planning committee for Camp TaPaWingo, spending many hours searching for land before the present site was chosen. Here is where he first tapped maple trees, learning to make syrup and learning that the tapping does not permanently injure the trees. Making maple syrup was a hobby he pursued for many years, using his property in Oconto County to tap his trees. He also deer hunted in the area, a sport that he loved. One of Dick's greatest memories was always the more than 366,000 trees he planted in his lifetime, in Manitowoc, Kewaunee, Oconto and Langlade counties. Most of the trees were planted in Manitowoc County through Wisconsin and the Manitowoc County Soil Conservation Service Office with the direction of Keith Henley, state forester during the 1960s. Due to ill health, most of Dick's efforts in recent years were limited to donations to worthy organizations, many of which are conservation or community related. Dick received a Special Achievement Award by the Manitowoc County Conservationists in 1997 and was enshrined into the Manitowoc County Conservationists Hall of Fame in 2002. He is survived by his wife: Myvanwy Franz; his eight children: Yvonne (Larry) Wellner, Whitelaw; Cheryl Kleckner, Manitowoc; Kitty (Dan) Doersch, Seymour; Richard Jr. (Pat) Franz, Elgin, Ill.; Mark Franz, La Crosse; Karla (Gary) La Fave, Whitelaw; Verla (Dean) Bunnell, Manitowoc; and Nyle (Tracy) Franz, St. Nazianz; 19 grandchildren and several step-grandchildren: John Koch, Lou Anne Koch, Melanie Koch and Karen Koch; Calving Kleckner, Randy Kleckner, Marissa Kleckner and Michelle Kleckner; Kelsey Doersch and Tyler Doersch; Richard Jr.: Liz Petty; Gabrielle La Fave, Joshua La Fave, Jessica La Fave and Danielle La Fave; Vanessa Krueger, Ashley Krueger and Austin Krueger; and Allisha Franz; three great-grandchildren: Cameron Kleckner, Montana Shirk and Moises Contrata; two sisters: Leatrice (Lloyd) Liermann, Manitowoc; and Charlotte Fenske, Racine; two sisters-in-law: Lola Franz, Green Bay; and Evelyn Wordell, Two Rivers.

His favorite poem was included by his wife: What God Hath Promised God hath not promised skies always blue, Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through, God hath not promised sun without rain, Joy without sorrow, peace without pain, God hath not promised we shall not know Toil and temptation, trouble and woe. He hath not told us we shall not bear Many a burden, many a care. But God hath promised strength for the day, Rest for the laborer, light for the way Grace for the trials, help from above, Unfailing sympathy, undying love.
