Dear Steve and Carrie,
I was saddened to learn of your father’s untimely death. He was a smiley man whom I remember from the Washburn Post Office. Also, my husband, Roy, was your bus driver when Ondossagon united with Washburn. Do you remember? One of you used to be put in charge of Heather Prouty so she got off at the right stop!
Please accept my sympathy and prayers.

Curtis E. Schnepp
From Ralph Paoli, on Wednesday, December 9, 2009
Curt – I will always remember you for your smile, your offers to help out, to borrow me anything you have, your ability to listen, meat smoking tips, where the deer are, hunting tips, how to catch fish on the Brule, your pizza parties, and your company.
One of the highlights of coming up to our hunting camp, was to stop by and visit with you and your brother Terry. It was fall tradition. You will be missed by all of us at Bois Brule Deer Camp, by my son Jason and my Grandsons Samuel and Owen. You were an important figure in their life.
Your passing has been heartbreaking for all of us that knew and loved you.
I extend my sincere and deepest sympathy to Sharon, your son Jason and grand-daughter, your daughter Connie and family, your brothers Terry and Keith, and your sisters Judy and Darlene.
Curt, it has been an honor and a privilege for me to have been your friend. Someday we will meet again, hopefully you will have scouted out a good spot for me.
Ralph and Vicky Paoli

From Arlene Johnson, on Thursday, December 10, 2009
Sharon, Connie, and Jason,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Curt was such a wonderful person, and always so good to our family.
One thing for sure, he lived his dream. I remember he always wanted to move up north, build his house and do all his hunting and fishing, and that is what he did.
We were all blessed to have Curt in our lives.
I wanted to be there for you, but I just can’t do it.
Please know that we will be thinking of you all.
Love,
Arlene, Elliott and Craig

From Julie (Schoch) Bach, on Thursday, August 25, 2011
Dave, Carol, Liane, Lynette, Lori & families: To say that Oz will truly be missed hardly begins to express the deep emotions many feel for the man who loved to call Glidden his home. Knowing David would be “home” during virtually any trip I took back to Glidden made coming home so much more memorable for me. He encompassed that feeling of “Glidden” for me, that feeling of knowing “I’m home”. I’ve known Oz as a cousin, a classmate, a friend, an entertainer, a conversationalist, a gentle soul, and a sincere and lovable man. I’ve had the greatest privelege of having him in my life and getting to know the good man he grew to be. There is no doubt in my mind that during this most difficult time, he is looking down upon his beloved family and keeping watch over you all. You son and your brother is now your guardian angel in Heaven whom you shall meet again some day. May God be with you and bring you peace in your grieving; and may you rest assured knowing that all of David ‘s many friends and extended family will be with you to share their fondest memories of him…. My deepest sympathies to all of you, Julie Bach
-
From Shelley Kempf and Abby Hamilton, on Thursday, August 25, 2011
Dave, Carol and Family, so sorry to hear about Oz he will deeply be missed. He did so much for Glidden. We all will feel the void he will put in us all. You have my deepest sympathy. Shelley Kempf and Abby Hamilton

From Cecelia Fenzl, on Thursday, August 25, 2011

Dear Mr. and Mrs. David Schoch and family,
I am truely sorry for the loss of your son, David Jr. My thoughts and prayers are with you both and your entire family at this difficult time.

From Becky (Eder) Acosta, on Friday, August 26, 2011
My deepest, heartfelt sympathies to David’s family and the myriad of friends he left behind. I’ve known David since we were in Kindergarten. He was always genuinely kind, gentle, thoughtful, respectful, and courteous – qualities so few possess today. I will truly miss him. May all of our thoughts and prayers help carry you through this most difficult time.
My heart and tears are with you, Rebecca Acosta
-
From Daniel and Susan Willerth, on Friday, August 26, 2011
The “Why” is always the puzzle when tragedy strikes. Why did this happen? Why to David? We seldom, if ever have any meaningful answer. But we do not have control over what might be in store for others, or for ourselves. We can only take comfort in knowing that this incident was part of a greater plan that will in some way influence us and the rest of the world.
We extend our sincere sympathy to Dave, Carol, Leann and Lynette, as well as the rest of the family, and pray that the strength and peace of the Lord will be with you through this difficult time. May God bless at keep you, mya His light shine upon you and give you peace.
-
From Bob and Tanya Thompson and Family, on Monday, August 29, 2011
Dave, Carol and Family,
We are truly sorry for your loss. We were so sad to learn the news of David, “Oz”. We are not from Glidden but come up as often as we can and Oz welcomed us the first day we were there and we considered him a friend from that day on.
I was up at the Cabin a few years back with some of my friends and we had been out on 4-wheelers and it got late. Oz was worried we may not know our way back. He followed us home to make sure we got there safely. I’ll never forget that. He was just that type of person and we were proud to be his friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May your memories of such a special person keep you close to him.
Bob, Tanya, Wyatt and Seth Thompson

God Bless

Walter Edward ‘Sawbuck’ Sobczynski
From Lisa Joanis Teman, on Monday October 17, 2011
Dear Aunt Pat, Uncle Jerry, Cousin Ryan, and Mary Ann
We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of your dear Dad and Grandfather. Although we didn’t know him well, we know how much he meant to you all and how special a person he was. We, too, wish he could have made it to that “official” 100th birthday but, in our minds, he was close enough that it COUNTS! It’s so good that you were with him; to be there to celebrate his life and share his last days with him — I’m sure that meant more than any of us can know.
We send you our heartfelt condolences.
Much love and peace to you and the rest of the family.
Love,
Lisa, Eric & Shane

Sally M. Somppi
From Tom and Julie Marincel, on Friday, March 12, 2010
Please except our deepest sympathy on the loss of Sally. I sold Avon to her many years ago, and she was a tough customer, never sure if she wanted what she had ordered. But that was her way, for she became a good customer of mine, and even after I no longer sold Avon, when I saw her she always greeted me with a smile and sometimes a hug. She was a very nice and warm person. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
Julie, Tom and Cody Marincel

My mom, Lucille Polacheck/Bailen, Sally’s half sister and myself would like to offer condolences to you.
My mom and Sally shared the same mother, Mary Saric/Bailen. We were able to have lunch with Sally two years ago and cherished the reunion, as my mom lived in AZ for over 30 years and had not seen Sally since 1986. You are all in our thoughts and prayers,

From Gayle Grubisic Riordan, on Thursday, March 18, 2010
My sympathy to the family of Sally Opalich Somppi. Sally’s mother Mary Sarich Opalich was a long time neighbor of my grandmother Matilda Grubisic before Mary’s death. Because one of Mary’s granddaughters is a close friend, and because I enjoyed the family stories of Ray Bailen, Sally’s half brother, I have done a lot of genealogical research on the Bailen and Sarich families, who both came to Wisconsin from Croatia before World War One. All that is a long time ago now but I wanted to express my sympathy for their loss to Sally’s c hildren and grandchildren. I hope their happy memories of Sally will help carry them thru this time of grieving. –

From Nancy Raspotnik Walker, on Tuesday, January 25, 2011
I am deeply saddened to read of Mr. Stangle’s passing. He was an inspiration to all of us who took band at Ondossagon. His talent and patience made him a great teacher. I remember our trips to Duluth to march in the Christmas City of the North parades. At times it was so cold that the reed on my clarinet froze, but we always made it. I know that he will tooting his horn in heaven. One great man.

From Dan and Sara Heisler, on Wednesday, January 26, 2011
Our condolences on the loss of your father and grandfather. Stan was a great neighbor. We particularly remember him playing “Happy Birthday” to our son Ed on his fluegelhorn early on his birthday mornings as a preschooler. He loved the rye bread I brought him after Verna died, and when I brought it to the back door, he would make heavenly gestures and then tell me, “This will go in a special hiding place so no visitors find it!”
We were lucky to have Stan and Verna as good neighbors, and we still bring them up in conversations. Please know we are keeping your family in our prayers now.
Sincerely,
Dan and Sara Heisler

From Anna Komanecki (Tolliver), on Wednesday, January 26, 2011
My sincere condolences to the family. I can remember Mr. Stangle, as clear as if it were yesterday, walking down Second Street with us in the Middle School Band. We were so proud of ourselves and it was because of his fantastic ability to direct a band of youngsters. He was kind and caring. He was also “no nonsense” which is why we were so good! And we all understood that… a rarity indeed. I remember the high school band members coming up to us middle schoolers after the parade was finished saying how much better we were than they. They were right and he was a great man and I’ve never forgotten him. God’s blessings to you. –

From David Werner, MD., on Friday, January 28, 2011
I attended Ondossagon High School from ’57 to ’61. I played trumpet in the band and pep band. Mr. Stangle did his best to have those of us in the marching band play and march with our heads up and looking straight ahead. That was hard for us to do because we practiced on the road in front of the school that was shared by cattle going to and from their pasture. No way were we going to step in a cow pie! Good memories. Dave Werner,
-
From Audrey Holt-Grosnick, on Monday, February 7, 2011
My sympathies in the passing of “Mr Stangle”. I attended Ondossagon and played clarinet in the band. So I remember the concerts, the pep band and marching in parades. The music program was an important part of my education. –

Jeanne Sturgal
From Diane Morrison, on Thursday, April 22, 2010
I met Jeanne many years ago at the clinic. At a time when a person is nervous about ‘going to the doctor’, she was always a comfort. She was warm, understanding, kind and helped to make the visit easier. If you had to go again, you knew she would be there to help.
My condolences in the loss of Jeanne…it is much closer to home because of friendships with the family.

Athol ‘Dodie’ Suninski
From Shirley Meredith, on Tuesday, July 27, 2010
Bob and I were shocked to read in today’s Press about the passing of dear Dodie. I enjoyed her so much at our Monday Club meetings and events. Bob and I attended Dodie and David’s 50th Anniversary and had such a good time. They both were such nice people…and now are joined together in heaven. Dodie will be missed by all her Monday Club friends. She was such an active member and worked so hard on the Christmas Bake Sale and New Day Shelter Shower. I was going to phone her this week just to check up on her…now she has passed away and I will surely miss her so much. May God bless her family. She always talked about them and about her dog “Buttons”. With our deepest sympathy. Bob and Shirley Meredith –

Lyle Thewis
From Marilyn McKay, on Thursday, January 20, 2011
Our deepest sympathy to all of you.
We all have many memories of Lyle: as my high school math teacher and Lions Club member, and the kids remembering him as a bus driver.
I was not a math wiz. I had all I could do to get through Algebra I and II, let alone Geometry. I don’t even know why I took Geometry. My proudest day was when I proved Al Uutala and Phil Sorensen were wrong in solving a Geometry problem; Lyle was in front of the room with his sly little smirk watching me bring the boys down.
Our thoughts are with all of you at this time.

From Ron Pennebecker, on Saturday, January 22, 2011
My deepest sympathies go out to you at this time. Evan after being out of high school for some 35 years he was still Mr.Thewis to me. I loved every class that I took from him. He made learning math and physics fun. To this day, I still enjoy doing math problems at work. I am fortunate and eternally grateful to have had him as a teacher and to have known him as a friend.

Malcolm Traaholt
From Diane Colgrove Morrison, on Friday, February 26, 2010
To Doris and Family,
I was so sad to read of Moose passing on. Through all his good works, he bacame a familiar face in Ashland, one of the wonderful ‘characters’ those of from here embrace.
My fondest memory of him will be a phone call he made to me recently, during a down time as councilor. He complimented me on my role as councilor and told he stay on because I was doing a great job. I told him it was a huge compliment coming from him and we both had a good chuckle.
My sincere condolences.
Diane Morrison

From Ed England, on Friday, February 26, 2010
I went all through Ashland High School with Moose and always found him to be a friend to all those around him and well liked by all. At times the teachers shook their heads but he wound up being a great Ashland businessman and a wonderful contributor to the area and all those who knew him. He will be missed not only by his family but all of us who were fortunate to have known him. May he rest in peace. –

From Fred Kovach, on Friday, February 26, 2010
Dorie,
My condolences on the loss of your beloved Moose. I remember Moose’s unique “hunting” style. Cousin John can vouch for this. Moose would walk the woods stopping to talk to every single hunter he encountered. Moose would introduce himself, tell a story, get the necessary chuckle, and move on to the next hunter. Moose made my dad Fritz and me laugh many times. My prayers are with you.

From Linda Wilhelm Collins, on Friday, February 26, 2010

From Colene Kirchner Bolt and children, on Friday, February 26, 2010
My sympathies to your family at the loss of Moose. He was always a welcome sight as a greeter at Wal-Mart which is where my children and I mostly saw him. He always had a kind word or a “What’s up kids?” even though you could tell he wasn’t feeling his best. He will surely be missed!

From Gary Adams, on Monday, March 1, 2010
Hi Malcolm, I just know you’ll ‘read’ this. Though we haven’t been in touch since I left Ashland in 1956 for the Air Force I have often given some thought to our times together as kids. I’ll never forget the spanking I received for accidentally hitting you in the forehead with an old padlock I found in the lake which I had tossed backwards over my shoulder. Aunt Fern thought I did it on purpose, but you know I didn’t. Sounds like you’e led quite the productive life and enjoyed a large loving family.
RIP my friend who was more like a cousin.
Gary Adams, AHS ’56

From Julie Walusiak, on Monday, March 1, 2010
Moose was a very special person!!!
Jerry & I always called him the P.R. guy at Custom Carpet.
He loved people….
Moose always was an active member in the Ashland community… always ready to help another.
Moose knew everyone and everything that was going on…
He loved to hunt, fish and spend time with his friends.
Moose had a huge heart….he helped his family, neighbors & friends and took pride in doing so…
He was very proud of his family and their accomplishments and loved each very much..
The last time I saw Moose he was eagerly telling me all about his wonderful family and fun grandchildren.
Dorie, you were his rock, Moose always knew your stability and was grounded on your love.
God takes each of us home at a different time, it is always in His timing.
God has blessed us with memories, these memories will get you through the dark days ahead and someday help you smile again with thoughts of him.
Prayers & Love to each of you!!!
Jerry and Julie

Moose was a very rare man. A man that was liked and respected by everyone. I never in my 67 years heard a negative comment about Moose. Moose was a true friend to everyone and will be missed by all.

From Marilyn McKay, on Monday, March 1, 2010
To Dorie and family,
Traci and I extend our deepest sympathy at this time. I first became aware of Moose when I worked the front office ofgre True North TV and he stopped in probably once a week to find out when we would have our first news broadcast.
Traci enjoyed the attention he gave her, and she always made a point of saying hi to him at Walmart.
Frank greatly enjoyed Moose at dialysis; I think he gave Frank a sense of the friends and family atmosphere there. I know Frank always worried when Moose wasn’t there and always hoped everything was ok. Sadly, Moose’s services are being held on the 1 year anniversary of Frank’s death. Several dialysis patients have passed within this past year, which is very sad, but we certainly had a special relationship among all of us to worry for each other or cheer for each other when things were good. Traci and I certainly know almost everything you have been and will go through, and we’ll keep you in our thoughts and prayers. –
