Benz Sr., Richard J.

Went Home on June 30, 2015 at the age of 85. Beloved husband of Florence for 65 years. Loving dad of Rick (Judy), Kathy, Gail, Jay (Debbie), Janet (Dan) Anderson and Pam. Proud grandpa of Lisa, Diane, David, Leighann, Courtney, Kelsey and Kendall. Great-grandpa of 5. Brother of Ralph (Leann). Further survived by other relatives and many dear friends. 

Visitation will be Thursday July 2, 2015 at Faith Lutheran Church, W172 N11187 Division Rd. in Germantown, from 5pm until time of service at 7pm. Private entombment at Wisconsin Memorial Park. 

Richard owned and operated Benz Cyclery in the North Shore for many years until his retirement in 1992. He enjoyed bowling, golfing and refinishing antiques. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his family. He will be greatly missed. In lieu of flowers, memorials in Richard’s name to the Concordia Seminary in St. Louis or to a church of your choice would be greatly appreciated.
