Gloria M. Gestl - May 16, 1942 - April 23, 2024

Departed: 04/23/2024 (Muskego)
Obituary Preview: Gloria Marie Gestl, a beacon of love and wisdom, passed away peacefully on April 23, 2024, at the age of 81, in her home in New Berlin, Wisconsin. Born on May 16, 1942, to Anthony and Agnes Salentine, Gloria's life was one rich with the joy of family, the pride of a career well-served, and the simple pleasures of her many interests.
Those who knew Gloria best will remember her as a loving and intelligent woman, whose analytical nature was complemented by a warm and nurturing spirit. She was the loving mother of Janet (Tom) Marczewski, the late Karen Gestl, Sandy (late Sabba) Jaipuri, and Jeannie (Randy) Call. Each of her children was a testament to her unwavering love and support, carrying forward her legacy of kindness and resilience.
Gloria's role as a grandmother and great-grandmother was one she cherished deeply. She adored her grandchildren: Mandy Flores, Taylor (Alex) Knight, the late Jacob Girard, Jonathan Girard, the late Nathan Jaipuri, Ali, Isabelle, and Solomon Jaipuri. Her great-grandchildren brought her immense joy and pride: Malik and Jaylin Flores, Luke and Beau Knight. Each of them will hold dear the memories of their grandmother's love and the wisdom she imparted.
Preceded in death by her beloved parents, Anthony and Agnes Salentine, and her siblings Roy (Margaret) Salentine, Harvey (late Marjorie) Salentine, Walter (Marilyn) Salentine, Donna (late John) Wegner, and John (Marieann) Salentine. Gloria's memory will live on through her family. She leaves behind a legacy of love, not only to her immediate family but also to her cherished nieces, nephews, cousins, and a host of other relatives and friends who were touched by her gracious spirit.
Gloria graduated from New Berlin High School, where she formed lifelong friendships and acquired knowledge that would serve her well throughout her life. Her intelligence and analytical mind led her to a fulfilling career as an office manager for Dan Hau, CPA, where she dedicated over 20 years of service, managing with both precision and care.
Gloria had many interests which were a reflection of her engaging and sociable nature. Her love of traveling took her to many destinations with her late loving partner, Tom Schlindwein. Her love for card games only matched by her skill and competitive spirit. She was a formidable sheepshead player. Her passion for games extended to the joy she found in playing tonk, cribbage, canasta, Mille Bornes coup fourre, and assembling puzzles, a metaphor for her ability to bring together the pieces of her family's stories into a beautiful picture of shared history and love.
Gloria also enjoyed an active lifestyle that included participating in intermural volleyball. She was an avid bowler; even appearing on the Saturday morning “Bowling with the Champs” show. Gloria was a familiar face at the local bowling alley, where her strikes and spares were as reliable as her infectious laugh. As a Wisconsin sports fan, she cheered on the Packers, Brewers, and Bucks.
The impact of Gloria's life is immeasurable, and her absence will be deeply felt by all who were fortunate enough to know her. She imparted lessons of love, strength, and intelligence to everyone she encountered, and these gifts will continue to flourish in the lives of those she touched.
As we say goodbye to Gloria Marie Gestl, we celebrate a life well-lived, a heart full of love, and a mind ever curious and bright. Her journey on this earth was one of purpose and joy, and although she has left our sight, her spirit remains an indelible part of the fabric of our lives. Rest in peace, dear Gloria, until we meet again.
Visitation will be held at Max A. Sass & Sons-Westwood Chapel (W173S7629 Westwood Drive, Muskego 53150) on Saturday April 27th, beginning at 9 am until time of service at 11 am. Burial will follow at Holy Sepulcher Cemetery (3800 East College Avenue, Cudahy 53110). Please meet at the main entrance by 1pm.

Obituary Preview: Robert D. "Bob" Dethloff
Bob, Dad, Grandpa, Uncle Bob, or Father Bob (however you knew him) passed away peacefully with family by his side on April 6, 2024, at the age of 82. He is now fishing up in heaven on the Brule River, sipping a brandy old fashioned sweet with cherries and bringing in walleye after walleye. His sense of humor, storytelling ability, wit and generous spirit endeared him to many.
Preceded in Death by his parents Clarence and Frances (nee Wilinski), and infant daughter Jennifer Fran. Beloved Husband of Priscilla "Priss" (nee McElroy) for 56 years. Dad of Robert C. (Julie), Jeffrey J. (April), and Daniel A. Dethloff. Proud Grandpa of Lucas and Nyla. Brother of Nancy (the late James) Krznarich, and is lovingly remembered by his nieces, nephews, other family members, and a host of friends. Above all he was devoted to his family, his friends who became family and his many dogs over the years.
He worked at Ladish as a draftsman and prankster but filled many important roles throughout his life and careers. His attention to detail and business savvy was second to none while working as a realtor or finding the proverbial "deal" on antiques at many estate and rummage sales.
As keeping with Bob’s wishes, there will be no traditional funeral. He didn't want people to be sad, he knew that he had lived life to the fullest. Instead, we will have a summer party on July 27th, 2024, at Muskego County Park -Pavilion #2 S83 W20370 Janesville Dr. Muskego, WI to honor his memory and trade funny stories.

Ralph Richard Riemer - October 01, 1937 - March 26, 2024

Departed: 03/26/2024 (Muskego)
Obituary Preview: Ralph R. Riemer, a man of great passion for life and love for his family, passed away peacefully on March 26, 2024, at the age of 86, in Waterford, WI. Born on October 1, 1937, in Medford, WI, Ralph was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather whose wisdom and kindness touched the lives of all who knew him.
Ralph spent his early years in Medford, where he cultivated a strong work ethic and a love for the outdoors. He embarked on a career that he deeply loved, becoming a truck driver—a job that allowed him to traverse the country, witnessing its vast beauty firsthand. His work was not just a means to an end but a source of great pride and joy. He met and married the love of his life, Dorothy Riemer (nee Dassow), and together they built a family that would become Ralph's greatest pride. Their loving partnership, over 64 years, was a cornerstone of the family, providing a warm and nurturing environment for their children, Kim, married to Robert LeClaire, and Tami, married to Wayne Miller. Ralph was a pillar of strength and a fountain of advice for his family, always there to lend a helping hand or a listening ear. The joys of fatherhood were only magnified for Ralph when he became a grandfather to Krystal (Kaoni) Rhodes, Kasandra (Ryan) Church, Emily LeClaire, and Leah (Garrett) Kohel. Each grandchild held a special place in his heart, and he cherished every moment spent with them. The arrival of his great-grandchildren, Malissa Church, Gavin Teer, Landyn Church, Lucas Becker, Kadeyn Church, and Ariana Rhodes, added even more happiness to his life. Ralph was preceded in death by his parents, Edward Jr. and Helen Riemer, his brothers Wayne and Sunny Riemer, and his sister Darlene Gebauer. His family takes comfort in knowing that he has now joined them in eternal peace.
Beyond his family, Ralph had a deep connection with nature. He was an avid fisherman and hunter, often found reveling in the serenity of the great outdoors. He also had a keen eye for collectibles, always on the lookout for unique finds to add to his cherished collection. Those who knew Ralph will remember him as a loving and handy man whose wisdom was as vast as the open road he so loved to travel. His presence was a source of comfort and his guidance a compass for those around him. He approached life with a quiet strength and a heart full of love for his family, a love that will forever be his legacy.
Ralph's life was a testament to the power of love and dedication. His memory will live on in the stories shared by his family and the lessons he imparted to his loved ones. The void left by his passing will be felt deeply by those who were fortunate enough to know him, but the warmth of his memory will continue to light the way for his family and friends. As we say goodbye to Ralph R. Riemer, we celebrate a life well-lived, full of moments that will be treasured forever. His journey may have come to an end, but his spirit will continue to inspire and guide us. Rest in peace, dear Ralph, until we meet again.
A visitation will be held at Christ Lutheran Church-Big Bend (S89W22970 Maple Ave., Big Bend, WI 53103) on Saturday April 6th from 10-11:45AM with the funeral service at 12 noon. Burial will follow at Rural Home Cemetery.

Kevin J. Whitney - March 01, 1961 - March 23, 2024

Departed: 03/23/2024 (Muskego)
Obituary Preview: Kevin James Whitney, known affectionately as Kevin to his friends and family, embarked on his final adventure on March 23, 2024, at the age of 63. Born on the first of March in 1961, in the picturesque town of Burlington, Vermont, Kevin's zest for life and laughter began early and never waned. He passed away in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, leaving behind a legacy of joy and a cloud of laughter in the wake of his battle with COPD.
Kevin's life was a testament to the power of humor and the spirit of never taking oneself too seriously. He was the kind of guy who could find a punchline in the mundane and turn a frown upside down with just a quip. His love for the New England sports teams—the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, and Bruins—was as legendary as his comedic timing. Win or lose, Kevin always had a joke ready to lighten the hearts of fellow fans.
His daughter Samantha Whitney, the apple of his eye, inherited her dad's funny bone and his love for the great outdoors. Kevin's grandchildren, Anya and Mason, were the recipients of his playful tales and whimsical adventures, often featuring their granddad as the unlikely hero. His sister, Kathy Whitney-Glyvin, along with her husband Gennadiy, shared in the laughter and the occasional eye roll that only Kevin could inspire.
Kevin's spirit was as free as the open road, and he was often seen riding his motorcycle, with the wind as his companion and the horizon as his guide. He wasn't just passing through the landscape; he was a part of it, pausing to appreciate the wildlife and sharing stories with anyone who had a moment to spare. His adventurous soul was matched only by his quick wit, and his journeys were as much about the people he met as the places he saw.
Funny, spirited, and adventurous—these words encapsulate the essence of Kevin. He was the life of the party, the unexpected comedian at the dinner table, and the friend who could make you laugh until you cried. His humor was a gift, one that he shared generously and without reservation. It was the kind of humor that stayed with you, a warm memory to be cherished and passed on.
As we bid farewell to Kevin James Whitney, let us do so with a smile, for that is undoubtedly how he would have wanted it. His laughter echoes in the stories he told, the lives he touched, and the memories he created. While the curtain may have closed on his final act, the encore of his influence will continue to resonate with all who knew him.
So here's to Kevin—a man who taught us that life is not about the destination, but the laughter shared along the way. May his journey be filled with the joy he brought to others, and may his legacy be as enduring as the love he had for his family, his friends, and the occasional well-timed joke. Goodnight, sweet prince of jesters; may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

Departed: 02/22/2024 (Muskego)
Obituary Preview: Robert J. “Bob” Sranske passed away peacefully on February 22, 2024, at the age of 83, in Muskego, Wisconsin.
Bob is now reunited with his beloved wife, Kathleen, who he has missed so dearly since her passing in 2019. He is also reunited with his younger brother, James Sranske. Bob was the loving father of Lori (Bruce) Sullivan, Michael (Meg), and David (Amy). He was the treasured grandfather of Samantha (Max) Elert, Jared, Ben, Emma, Brooke, and Ava.

His education laid the foundation for a life of service and achievement. Bob's commitment to his country was unwavering; he was a Navigator on a B52 in the United States Air Force for five years. He last served in the 736th Bomb Sq. During his tenure, he flew in over 100 combat missions and served with distinction in the Vietnam War.

Described by those who knew him as faith-filled, generous, selfless and intelligent, Bob lived a life that exemplified these virtues. His generosity extended beyond his immediate family, touching the lives of all who knew him. Bob's selflessness was evident in the way he put the needs of others before his own, always ready to lend a helping hand or a listening ear. His intelligence was not just in his academic and professional achievements but also in the thoughtful advice and deep conversations he shared with those around him.  The love for his grandchildren extended to the countless activities (sporting, dance, band, and graduations to name a few) he attended to support them.

Departed: 02/10/2024 (Muskego)
Obituary Preview: On February 10, 2024, at the age of 78, Judy C. Dreist (nee Bink) was born into eternal life. Judy passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by the love and warmth of her family.
Judy was born on February 1, 1946 in Wisconsin to Harry and Catherine Bink. She was the youngest of eight kids. She is preceded in eternal life by her parents, four sisters (Sally, Roe, Betty and Catherine) and her brothers (David and Harry) and survived by her brother Jerome (MaryAnne) Bink.
Judy met her husband George Dreist in 1964 while attending a Catholic Youth People's Club event. The two married in 1966 and they were blessed with three faithful children: John (Lynn) Dreist, Paula Dreist-Spannbauer and Jill Dreist-Dombrowski. Judy was also the loving grandmother to Brittany Spannbauer, Erin (Noah) Martinez, David Dreist, Jackson Dombrowski and Jonathan Dreist. Judy's role as a mother and grandmother was one she held dear. She looked forward to hosting Christmas, Easter, Fourth of July and birthday parties for the family and loved having her family with her. The memories she created will be forever cherished.
As a devout Catholic, Judy found solace and strength in her faith. She was a member of St Thomas Aquinas Church, where she was an active volunteer. Judy's banana cream pies were legendary at the church fish fry's and other church events. Her baking skills will be remembered by all who had the pleasure of tasting them. Judy also dedicated time to St Joe's in Big Bend making desserts and working the concessions on their bingo nights. Before that, Judy was a dedicated parishioner and volunteer at St Matthias where she helped run the concessions during sporting events and the parish festival.
Judy's commitment to her community was evident through her dedicated service as a board member for her condo association. Her involvement was not just a duty but a passion. Judy created many friendships as she worked to ensure the well-being of her neighbors and the beauty of their shared environment.
Judy's legacy is one of compassion, service and unwavering commitment to her family and faith. As we say goodbye to Judy Dreist, we celebrate a life beautifully lived and a soul that will continue to shine brightly in the memories of those she loved. Her spirit will live on in the laughter of her grandchildren, the love of her children and the enduring partnership she shared with her husband for 58 years.
Judy's life was a journey of love, faith and kindness. Her presence will be felt for generations to come. Judy will be dearly missed, but her memory will forever be a blessing to all who had the privilege of knowing her. We take solace in knowing that Judy is now at peace and her legacy will continue to inspire and guide us.

Patricia A. Wolf - April 15, 1947 - January 09, 2024

Departed: 01/09/2024 (Muskego)
Obituary Preview: Patricia(Pat) Ann Wolf, born on April 15th 1947, was called home on January 9th 2024.
Pat, the cherished daughter of Lydia and Joseph Manning, both of whom preceded her in joining the Lord, along with her sister, Kathy Frakes. Her spirit, now reunited with theirs, leaves behind a legacy of love and service. A love she shared with her devoted husband of 52 years, Larry Wolf. She journeyed through life's joys and trials with unwavering commitment and boundless affection. Together they raised a family that became her pride and joy. Her legacy is carried on by her sons, Joseph Wolf, blessed with his wife Carrie, and Kenneth Wolf, graced with his wife Jaime. Adding to the joy of her life were her treasured grandchildren—Avery, Ryan, Sydney, Delaney, Finley Wolf—who brought immeasurable happiness and pride to their grandmother's heart.
Patricia's life was a testament to her nurturing soul, as she dedicated herself to the care of others. She poured her heart into her role as a nurse for the Muskego-Norway School District. It was a calling, a ministry where she offered comfort and healing to those in need. Pat touched countless lives with her gentle care and boundless empathy. She was more than a caregiver; she was a friend, a confidante, and a source of comfort to all who knew her.
Her life was a rich tapestry woven with the threads of her passions. Pat found great joy in many crafts, but none more than quilting and sewing. She created beautiful works of art that served as tangible expressions of her love. Her hands were rarely still, for they were the instruments through which her heart's melodies were played.
Pat's love for these crafts was only surpassed by the time she cherished with her friends and family. Her home was a haven of hospitality, where laughter and stories were shared, and memories were woven into the fabric of her loved ones' lives. A woman of strength, her vivacity shone through in every action and word.
Pat was a woman of profound faith, a faith that guided her every step and shone brightly for all to see. She walked through this world with a spirit that could not be dampened, a loving heart that knew no bounds, and a joy that was contagious. To be in Pat's presence was to feel the embrace of a love that was pure and a spirit that was unbreakable.
As we bid farewell to our dear Pat, let us not dwell in the shadows of sorrow, but rather let us bask in the light of her legacy. Let us carry forth the love she so freely gave, the faith that sustained her, and the spirit that defined her. In every quilted pattern, in every healed heart, and in every cherished memory, Pat's presence will continue to be felt.
As we commend Patricia Ann Wolf to the Almighty's eternal care, let us do so with gratitude for the time we were blessed to share with her. For in her life, we have seen the very essence of goodness, and in her memory, we find the strength to continue the journey she has now completed.
Let us all say, "Amen," as we hold Patricia Ann Wolf forever in our hearts, a beloved mother, a devoted wife, a doting grandmother, and a true friend. Her life's story may have reached its final chapter here on Earth, but in the heavens, a new story begins—one of everlasting peace and joy in the Lord's loving embrace. Amen.
