- Richard "Dick" L. Suprise, age 66, Shiocton, passed away on Tuesday, February 26, 2013. Dick was born on February 10, 1947, New London son of Delphus "Super" and Veryle (Jones) Suprise. He lived in Shiocton his whole life, running Suprise's Restaurant in the 60's and 70's with his mom; he then owned and operated Dick & Jeanni's Family Restaurant for many wonderful years until his illness forced his retirement. He truly enjoyed the morning debates with his regular group and could flip eggs with the best of them. Even in the face of his own difficulties Dick was monumental in helping other dialysis patients overcome their own trials and medical difficulties.

He was preceded in death by his parents, father in-law, Roy Smith; a brother in-law, Dick Loos; a sister-in-law, Kay Suprise; and his faithful feathered friend, Petey.

Burial will be in the parish cemetery. Visitation will be held at the church on Monday from 9:00 AM until the time of service.
