pent at the cottage on Lake Wisconsin with Dorothy, the kids, grandkids and the many friends that would happen to stop by. Dave was a very generous person and gave back to his community in numerous ways. He was an active member of St. John's Catholic Church and was most proud of the 33 years he spent on the Waunakee Fire Department. Dave is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Dorothy; 4 children, Brian (Kelly) Statz, Brad Statz, Bob Statz and Brenda McClure; 8 grandchildren, Tyler, Justin, Shelby, MacKenzie, Casey, Brady, Jadyn and Olivia; his siblings, Eileen (Dean) Hahn and Ken (Mary) Statz; brother and sisters-in-law, Toni Statz, Loretta (Joe Kalscheur), Marion (Delmer) Hellenbrand, Henry (Shirly) Laufenberg, Margaret (Ken) Bernards, Alice (Dick) Weiss, and Ron (Jean) Laufenberg. He is preceded in death by his parents, Carl and Helen; step-mother, Anne Statz; brother, Ronald Statz; and in-laws, Ted and Margaret Laufenberg. The family would like to extend our gratitude to ALS Wisconsin for their help over the past year along with the nurses and staff at Agrace Hospice Care for their compassion during Dave's final weeks. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, Jan. 18, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. at St. John's Catholic Church, 209 South St., Waunakee. Msgr. James Gunn will officiate. Friends may call on Wednesday, Jan. 17, 2018 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the church. Friends may also call at the church on Thursday from 9:30 until the time of service. Burial will take place in the church cemetery. We would also like to thank our friends and family for their overwhelming support during this difficult time. The children would also like to acknowledge the strength Dad and Mom have shown throughout Dad's illness. Dad never complained or let ALS get in the way of his normal life. Mom was the best caregiver Dad could have had during the last year of his life and the 52 years of marriage they shared. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Agrace Hospice Care or ALS Wisconsin. Please share a memory. Winn-Cress Funeral Home 5785 Hwy Q Waunakee, WI (608) 849-4513
