RICHARD “DICK” A. KAPKE

Richard “Dick” A. Kapke, age 73, of Edgerton, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Saturday, Jan. 4, 2020, at UW Hospital, Madison. He was born in Edgerton on May 19, 1946, the son of Verne and Mildred (Cox) Kapke. Dick married Susan K. Williams on Feb. 24, 1968 in Stoughton. He was a crop and dairy farmer and he loved to work! He enjoyed riding horses, dancing, listening to country western music (especially, Johnny Cash) western movies and his “pie, cake or cookies.” Dick was a faithful and dedicated husband and father and his biggest passion in life was spending time with his family. He was an honest, upfront man and you always knew where he stood.
