- Dennis W. Hoelzel died Tuesday, August 10, 2010, at home surrounded by his family after a courageous three-year battle with cancer. Dennis was born on May 12, 1940, to the late William and Bertha (Heidemann) Hoelzel. On June 20, 1959, he was united in marriage to Mary Lou Pogrant.
Dennis was a proud father of four children. He owned and operated King Carpet for 25 years before retiring in 2005. He was an active member of the Valley Home Builders Association and the Kaukauna Elks Club. He enjoyed fishing, hunting and vacationing with his family.
Dennis will be sadly missed by his loving wife, Mary Lou, his four children: Mark (Karen) Hoelzel, Neenah, WI, Debra (James) Cronmiller, Appleton, WI, Janice Salsieder, Muskego, WI, and Amy (Mike) Schlueter, Chicago, IL, and six grandchildren: Mark and Dan Hoelzel, Katie and Alex Cronmiller and Paul and John Salsieder. Dennis is survived by his sister Delores Diedrick and his brother Don (Pat) Hoelzel, brothers-in-law John (Betty) Pogrant, Dave (Joan) Pogrant, and sisters-in-law Donna Pogrant and Jan Pogrant.
He was preceded in death by his sister LaVerne Boll, brothers-in-law Ernie Diedrick, Otto Boll and Bill Pogrant, nieces Lois Diedrick and Jennifer Pogrant, and nephews Bill Diedrick and Jason Pogrant. He is further survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.
A Mass of Resurrection will be celebrated at 3 p.m. on Friday, August 13, 2010, at St. Bernard Catholic Church, 1617 Pine Street, Appleton, with Father Dennis Ryan officiating. Friends may visit directly at the church from 12 noon until the time of the service.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Tim Goggins, his caring nurses and aides, the staff at St. Paul Hospice Services, specifically Sandi, Karen and Ellen for their compassionate care and to all his friends and relatives for their visits and support, especially in these last weeks.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial to benefit the Emergency Shelter of the Fox Valley has been established.
