Miss Me - But Let Me Go
I have come to the end of the road,
and the sun has set for me.
I want no rites in a gloom filled
room, why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little, but not too long,
and not with your head bowed low.

Remember the love that we once
shared.
Miss me, but let me go.

RICHARD C. FRANZ, Sr.  (sent in by researcher/see contributors page)

Richard C. (Dick) Franz Sr., age 69, of 2704 S. 14th St., Manitowoc, entered 
into eternal rest Wednesday morning, Dec. 25, 2002 at his residence following 
a lengthy illness.
He was born Aug. 27, 1933 in Manitowoc County, son of the late Emil H. and 
Louise (Kiel) Franz. Dick married (his wife) at Rockwood Evangelical Lutheran 
Church on Oct. 8, 1955. The couple made their home in the Mishicot area for 
many years, moving to Manitowoc in 1995.
Dick was educated at Shoto School District No. 4 of the town of Two Rivers, 
Mishicot High School, the University of Wisconsin Short Course, Manitowoc 
Teacher's College, Silver Lake College and was a graduate of UW-Oshkosh, with 
a degree in elementary education and a minor in art. He taught at the Shoto 
School and later Pleasant View School until consolidation closed the one-room 
schools. He then taught at the Central School in Mishicot for one year. Following 
this, he gave up teaching to go into business for himself, starting in the 
upholstery trade. Tendonitis forced him to give up upholstery and continue his 
business career in woodworking, retiring in 1995. Also during the years he was 
in business, he spent 17 years as a janitor at St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran 
Church in Mishicot. He also drove buses for the Mishicot schools for several years.
Devoting most of his life to conservation activities and efforts, Dick has done 
his part in making the earth a better place, planting trees and helping to 
preserve wildlife. In 1960, he purchased a run-down 100-acre farm where he 
remodeled the house, built a new barn, planted 72,500 trees and placed 40 acres 
under the old Forest Crop Law for 50 years. The rest of the land was used for 
Christmas trees, a pond for wildlife and fish and wildlife plants and cover. The 
Mishicot Sportsman's Club built pheasant pens for 600 birds on Dick's land and 
raised them for 10 years. He convinced more than 87 farmers to permit planting 
of the birds. It was during these same years that the club bought and developed 
what is now known as the Mishicot Sportsman's Park on Jambo Creek. Dick was 
involved in the development of the park and spent hundreds of unrecorded hours 
working on the club grounds and forest, as well as many hours with state, county 
and town officials to help with the growth of the club and the grounds. He 
promoted fund-raisers for the club to help in construction of the building on 
the grounds. He also designed the first bridge at Jambo Creek and assisted with 
the establishment of a wildlife pond with an island in the middle and a wood duck 
house on it in this area. Dick loved to cook at special events and some of the 
meetings. He made special grills from hot water heaters and cattle watering tanks 
to handle the large amounts of chicken and corn grilled. Dick became a lifetime 
member of the Mishicot Club around 1975.
Dick was secretary of the Manitowoc County Fish and Game Protective Association 
during 1963-1964. Other sportsmen's clubs he was involved with over the years 
were Shoto Conservation Club, Westshore Sportsmen's Club, Larrabee Sportsmen's 
Club, Kelly Lake Sportsmen's Club, Klondike Sportsmen's Club and Pine River 
Sportsmen's Club. Dick was also a member of the Wisconsin Sportsmen, North American 
Hunting Club, National Rifle Association, Friends of the NRA Manitowoc County, 
Wisconsin Woodland Owner's Association, Manitowoc Fish and Game Protective 
Association and Conservation Education. He sold hunting and fishing licenses in 
the Mishicot area from his home for 10 years. Dick served on the Mishicot Village 
Board for one term and was village treasurer for one term. He belonged to the 
Mishicot and Francis Creek Lions clubs for a total of 20 years and also was a 
member of the Mishicot Fire Department for some years. Dick was involved in 4-H 
for about 16 years and was on the original planning committee for Camp TaPaWingo, 
spending many hours searching for land before the present site was chosen. Here is 
where he first tapped maple trees, learning to make syrup and learning that the 
tapping does not permanently injure the trees. Making maple syrup was a hobby he 
pursued for many years, using his property in Oconto County to tap his trees. He 
also deer hunted in the area, a sport that he loved.
One of Dick's greatest memories was always the more than 366,000 trees he planted 
in his lifetime, in Manitowoc, Kewaunee, Oconto and Langlade counties. Most of 
the trees were planted in Manitowoc County through Wisconsin and the Manitowoc 
County Soil Conservation Service Office with the direction of Keith Henley, state 
forester during the 1960s. Due to ill health, most of Dick's efforts in recent 
years were limited to donations to worthy organizations, many of which are 
conservation or community related. Dick received a Special Achievement Award by 
the Manitowoc County Conservationists in 1997 and was enshrined into the Manitowoc 
County Conservationists Hall of Fame in 2002.
(Survivors omitted for privacy)
He was preceded in death by his parents: Emil and Louise Franz; a brother: Donald; 
a sister: Dorothy Spalding; a sister-in-law: Dorothy (Kuhl) Franz; three 
brothers-in-law: Herbert Spalding, George Fenske and Robert Wordell.
Memorials may be made to First German Lutheran Church, Mishicot Sportsmen's Club or 
the charity of the donor's choice.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, Dec. 30, 2002 at First German 
Lutheran Church, 1033 S. Eighth St., Manitowoc.
Family and friends will be greeted from 4 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 29, 2002 at Jens 
Family Funeral Home and at the church on Monday from 10 a.m. until the time of 
services.
The Jens Family Funeral Home, 1122 S. Eighth St., Manitowoc, is assisting the 
family with arrangements.
His favorite poem was included by his wife:
What God Hath Promised
God hath not promised skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through,
God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain,
God hath not promised we shall not know
Toil and temptation, trouble and woe.
He hath not told us we shall not bear
Many a burden, many a care.
But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest for the laborer, light for the way
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.

Audrey was the most thoughtful, generous, caring, person that anyone could have the 
privilege of knowing. Her friendship was true and her smile lit up a room. Her 
friends never had a bad thing to say about her and her friendship ran deep. Her 
family was always well cared for. She taught us things that we will carry along 
with us. Most of all she was loved by all. The best wife, mom, grandma, anyone could 
ask for. 
Audrey was employed at Stock’s Dinner Club as a cook for 35 years retiring in 2003. 
After retiring, she worked for Bondes Mini Mart in the bakery until she became ill.
