      William Christian “Corky” Conarchy IV passed away peacefully in his home on February 14, 2022 at the age of 64 years. Loving father of William Christian Conarchy V and Bridgette (Alex) Palm. Cherished brother of Mary M. Conarchy, Bridget (Eric) Fonstad, Jane M. Conarchy, Anne (Thomas) Uttich, Maureen (Mark) Hargarten and Kyran (Jacqueline) Conarchy. Beloved uncle of Kevin (Laura Chang) Uttich, Caitlin (Sam Thompson) Hargarten, Megan (Bri) Fonstad Deyo, Katie Uttich, Rory (Betsy) Conarchy, Rachel Thomas, Ryan Hargarten, Erin Uttich and Spencer Zuberbuehler. Grand Uncle to Gavin, Elizabeth, Otis, Etta, Kyran, Mahlon, Ronan & Declan. Corky is lovingly remembered by his many cousins, friends, and fellow Brewers fans.

      William was born to William Christian and Mary Elizabeth Conarchy on March 12, 1957 in Milwaukee, WI.

      His love of sports spanned the course of his life, though more recently from his favorite recliner or his season-ticket holder seats at Miller Park. Fiercely proud of his Irish roots, Corky was always willing to lend a hand to family and cherished friends. He would strike up a conversation with anyone; he made many friends as a delivery truck driver and as a proudly sober member of AA for over 20 years. His encyclopedic knowledge of music to sports to history will be missed as much as his infectious grin and his big heart.

      Visitation is from 9:00 to 10:00 AM, with a procession of life at 10:15 and funeral liturgy at 10:30 AM on February, 26, 2022 at St. Bernard Parish, 1500 N. Wauwatosa Ave., Wauwatosa, WI 53213. Private entombment at Holy Cross Cemetery. Memorial gifts may be made to the Milwaukee Rescue Mission or a charity of your choice.

Mary's caring attitude and kindness were fundamental in her life. Dearly loved by all who knew her, Mary will be greatly missed.

      Mary's family is grateful to the staff of the Congregational Home, Brookfield and the team of St. Croix Hospice for all they did to care for and support Mary during her illness.

    3. [S72] Staff, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, (Name: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel; Location: Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States;), Thomas, Dick (Richard Leo).
      Thomas, Dick (Richard Leo) Dick Thomas, 87, died Wednesday, March 22, 2017, from complications of Parkinson's Disease. Born Sept. 2, 1929, to Frances P. (Fliess) and Daniel J. Thomas in Kenosha, Wisconsin, he attended St. George School, Kenosha, and St. Catherine's High School, Racine. Dick completed college at St. Francis de Sales Seminary and was ordained a priest in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee in 1956. He was associate pastor at parishes in Elm Grove, Racine, Whitefish Bay, Waukesha, Fond du Lac and Milwaukee; led Marriage Encounters; served as spiritual and regional director of Christian Family Movement and director of Cursillo; co-founded the North Shore Human Relations Council. Dick completed a master's in adult development at the University of Chicago and three-year practicum in psychotherapy. He was campus minister for the UW-Whitewater (1975-83). Upon leaving ministry in 1985, Dick served as a therapist and activist. He married Mary M. Conarchy in 1986. Dick was a psychotherapist in marriage & family, addictions and spiritual counseling for 22 years. He volunteered with Red Cross as a mental health first responder, including two weeks in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina; counselor with Restorative Justice; tutor at Repairers of the Breach and Milwaukee Achiever. Full of life and love, Dick retired in 2008 but was anything but retiring. Even as PD symptoms advanced - "amazing and amusing" (his words) as these were - his dauntless spirit didn't get him down. He kept enjoying reading, meditation, writing, listening to music, watching good movies and Charlie Rose interviews. Deep appreciation goes out to everyone who helped Dick and his family during his illness. He is survived by his beloved wife Mary, daughter Rachel and grandson Gavin; brothers Milan (Dolores), Jack; sisters Ellen Wollenberg, Joan (John) Anderson and Bea (Bob) Oats; mother-in-law Mary E. Conarchy; sisters-in-law Bridget, Jane, Anne, Maureen and Jacque; brothers-in-law William, Kyran, Eric, Tom and Mark; nieces, nephews and cousins galore. Dick was preceded in death by his brother Gene and sister Betty. Visitation will be from 9:30 AM to 10:45 AM, with the funeral liturgy at 11 AM on Saturday, April 1, at St. Alphonsus Church, 6060 W. Loomis Road, Greendale, WI. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to St. Alphonsus Parish.
