      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.

    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.

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.

Loomis Road, Greendale, WI. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to St. Alphonsus Parish.

Conarchy, Jr., William (Mary) Conarchy, Jack Conarchy; son-in-law, Kirk Koblens; and ex-husband, Donald J. Hunter.

      Ann was born in Evanston, IL on December 16, 1929, grew up in Milwaukee, WI, graduated from Holy Angels Academy High School and attended Mount Mary College in Milwaukee. She started her business career at Sears as a single woman traveling auditor, breaking ground for single women in the work force. This is where she met Don. They married, and she took time off to start a family before returning to work at The Village Junction Gift Shop and Providence Hospital Gift Shop. Ann had a passion for retail and loved her time managing the gift shops, going to market to purchase inventory and forming lifelong friendships with customers and colleagues. Ann had a knack of helping shoppers find just the right gift or purchase and making them feel special. Ann had a green thumb, and her love of gardening was evident in the beautiful flowers she grew each year at her Madeira home and condo in Montgomery. She was even featured in a TV show on the DIY network featuring raised gardening beds.

      Ann always took time to write handwritten notes to family and friends for special occasions, never missing a birthday or anniversary. She was a loving Mom, Grandmother, Daughter, Sister and Friend who will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

      Special thanks to the management and staff of Marjorie P. Lee for making a wonderful home for Ann for 12 years and taking such diligent care of her. Ann was a member of Our Lord Christ the King Catholic Parish. Her Catholic faith sustained her throughout her life.
