Dick loved people and was just “the nicest guy.” He would do anything to help you and would give you the shirt off his back. He loved to travel, especially to see his children. His children and grandchildren meant the world to him, and he loved spending time with them. He also looked forward to and enjoyed going on many special trips to Mexico with Bev, family, and friends. Dick loved playing golf and rooting for the Wisconsin Badgers.

Dick is survived by his loving wife, Bev; his children: Craig (Lorna) Krutke, Julie (Rob) Allison, and Jodi (Clif) Kreuscher; grandchildren: Hannah Allison, John Allison, Katie Krutke, and Jacob Krutke; and sister-in-law: Joyce Tuchel. He is further survived by other relatives and many friends.

Dick is preceded in death by his parents, and brothers, Tom Krutke and David Krutke.
