KUPFER, RICHARD R.

Richard R. “Dick” Kupfer, age 80 years, passed away of colon cancer on Wednesday, January 26, 2005, at his home, surrounded by his loving family. Dick was born on August 13, 1924, in Milwaukee. He proudly served in the U. S. Air Force during WWII, stationed in Alaska. Following the war he married Irene Bliesner; they lived in Milwaukee until their move to Appleton in 1989; she preceded him in death in 1998. Dick was employed at Associated Appraisal, Inc. for ten years. Survivors include his daughter, Christine Nielsen, Appleton, and his son Randall (Pam) Kupfer; his grandchildren, Jay, Simon, Brittany and Brandon; his sister-in-law, Myra Kupfer; brother-in-law, Butch (Gerry) Bliesner and special friend Audrey Retzlass. The Funeral Liturgy will be at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, January 31, 2005, at SACRED HEART CATHOLIC CHURCH, 222 East Fremont Street, Appleton, with Fr. Norm Krutzik officiating. Friends may call directly at the church on Monday from 9:30 a.m. until the time of services. Interment will be in Holy Cross Cemetery, Milwaukee, and will be private.

Dick was quite a character and will be missed by all. The family would like to extend a very special and sincere thanks to Dr. Goggins for respecting his wishes and to the wonderful staff and volunteers from Affinity Visiting Nurses and Hospice Care. During the time Dick was with you, he was treated as though he was your very own. The family would also like to thank Debbie Schauland, a very loving and supportive friend, for being there for Dick. In lieu of flowers, a memorial has been established to benefit the American Cancer Society.
