Ernst William "Bill" Ruppel, age 63, was born in Chicago, Illinois, on 24 December 1942. Bill passed away of natural causes at his home in Westby, WI, in late November of this year. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ernst and Alberta Ruppel of Appleton, WI.
He is survived by his daughter Anne Ruppel of Alexandria, VA, his brothers John and Dick and sisters Kathy and Jane, all of WI.
Those who knew Bill were well aware of his love for the outdoors. After visiting Vernon and Crawford counties in the mid 1980s on hunting and fishing trips, Bill decided that this is where he wanted to live. Bill began living in the Kickapoo Valley area part-time on weekends and vacations while he was still employed in Appleton. After his retirement, Bill moved first to Crawford County and subsequently moved to Westby in Vernon County where he lived until his death.
Bill's family wishes to express their appreciation to his many friends and acquaintances in both Crawford and Vernon counties for making Bill feel at home.
A memorial service for his Crawford and Vernon County friends will be held on Saturday, December 9, 2006, at 10:30 a.m. at the Vosseteig Funeral Home, 708 S. Hwy 14 in Westby, with Pastor Gary Daines officiating. The plans for a memorial service in the Appleton area for family members and area friends are not complete.
The Vosseteig Funeral Home, 608-634-2100 of Westby, is serving the family.

Richard L. Ruppel (Dick) of Appleton, age 62, passed away on February 19, 2014 with his wife Vicky at his side. He was born on January 19, 1952 to Ernst H. and Alberta M. Ruppel in Appleton, WI.
He graduated from Appleton West High School. After completing an apprenticeship, Dick earned a Journeyman Machinist certification and worked at that skilled trade for the remainder of his life - most recently for Eagle Supply & Plastics of Appleton.
On March 1, 1990, Dick married Vicky Smyrneos, the love of his life. They were happily married for 24 years.
Survivors include his wife Vicky, his brother John (Laura) Ruppel and sister Kathy (Steve) Johnson, sister-in-law Kay (Phil) Mannebach, sister-in-law Cindy (Wade) Manteuffel, aunts, uncles, cousins, and a wide circle of friends. All will miss Dick's infectious energy and mischievous sense of humor.
Dick enjoyed fishing, hunting, riding his Harley and making his home and yard a showpiece. He took great delight in amusing his many nieces and nephews as well as their children. Whether it was frolicking in the pool or presenting his gala 4th of July display, he went at it with total enthusiasm. Dick also enjoyed spending time with his fishing and hunting sidekick for the past dozen years, his nephew Travis Mannebach.
Dick was preceded in death by his parents, a brother, E. William (Bill) Ruppel, and a sister, Jane Ruppel. A Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00 am on March 8, 2014 at St. Mary's Catholic Church, 312 S State St., Appleton. In lieu of flowers, the family will establish a memorial.
The family thanks the medical professionals at Theda Clark for the outstanding care provided to Dick and for the compassion shown to him and to the family members.
