Richard F. Schultz, age 59, of North Fond du Lac, formerly of West Bend, passed away on Monday, August 8, 2011 at his residence. He was surrounded by his loving family.

He was born on May 11, 1952 in West Bend to the late LeRoy and Gertrude (nee Opper) Schultz. Richard's favorite passion in life was cars which lead him to begin a long career working as an auto mechanic. He spent his last working years at Weasler Engineering before moving to North Fond du Lac seven years ago. In his free time, Richard enjoyed riding his motorcycle with the Civic Riders.

Richard is survived by his three sisters, Ruth (Norbert) Weis, Kathy Ewert, and Eileen (Hank) Dieringer; and two brothers, Robert Schultz and LeRoy (Mary) Schultz. He is further survived by many nieces, nephews, close relatives, and dear friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Donald Schultz; and his brother-in-law, Ralph Ewert.

In honor of Richard's wishes, a private graveside service will be held at a later date.
