Obituary:
Richard C. Wynboom, age 67 of Appleton, passed away Tuesday, October 4, 2011 at his residence following a lengthy and courageous battle with COPD. Richard was born on October 7, 1943 in Little Chute, Wisconsin, the son of Martin and Frances (Verheyen) Wynboom, both preceding him in death.
Richard was a truck driver for many years with Azco Hennes, Yellow Trucking and Boldt Construction. In 1986 he became a WDDC (Wisconsin Defensive Driver's Course) Instructor with Fox Valley Technical College, Appleton, where he remained until his retirement in 2001. While employed at FVTC he earned his bachelor's degree and was also instrumental in developing the standards and testing procedures for Commercial Driver's Licenses throughout the United States. He loved inventing and building things, his best ideas were formed while sitting in his "thinking chair". He loved time with his family, especially if it involved going out for fish on Friday nights.
Survivors include; a daughter, Terri (Mark) Eyestone, Appleton, a son-in-law, John Verhagen, Appleton, six grandchildren, Jenny, Mark, and Aaron Eyestone, Appleton; Madison and Olivia Verhagen, Appleton; and Amy Taylor, Ohio; two great-grandchildren, Blake Werner and Dylan Wunderlich, Appleton; his ex-wife and close friend, Sherry Wynboom.

He was also preceded in death by a daughter, Emberly Verhagen.
A memorial service will be held 11 am Saturday, October 8, 2011 at Valley Funeral Home. Richard's family will receive relatives and friends on Saturday from 9 am until the time of the service.
A special thank you to Home Instead Senior Care, especially Keith, as well as Heartland Hospice and his "sweetheart" Zoe. Also a special thanks to Tom Schuh who was always a good friend to Dad and willing to help him whenever needed and thanks to Missy Navoichick, Richard's niece, for her kindness, caring and helping to take good care of him.
Words cannot express how much you will be missed Dad, we love you. Tell Em and Grandma we said hi. Dad, you really did know everything!
