Richard R. Koehler

Dick was born on December 24, 1931 and passed away on September 3, 2026 at age 94. What a life! Raised in West Allis, he graduated from Nathan Hale High School and went on to own Luebke Plumbing Co. In retirement, Dick enjoyed his time in the home he built on Lake Beulah. Ever faithful, Dick rarely missed a Sunday service. Most importantly, he shared his life with the love of his life, Carole - they were married for 73 wonderful years.

He is preceded in death by his parents Raymond and Norma, brother Ron, in-laws Arnie and Ruth, and daughter Lynn. He is survived by his wife Carole, daughter Beth, son Rick (Maria), grandchildren Haley, Elyse (Andy), and Lauren (Austin), and great-grandchildren Ford and Vayda.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 7, 2026 at 12:00 PM at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, 6705 Northway, Greendale. Visitation will take place following the service at a party to celebrate his life. In lieu of flowers, please remember Dick with a contribution to the church or charity of your choice.
