Dick Zastrow, 78, of Two Rivers, died unexpectedly on Sunday, Sept. 11, 2016, as the result of an automobile accident.

Dick was born in Shawano on Sept. 9, 1938, to the late Alvin and Eva (Mass) Zastrow. He was a 1956 graduate of Shawano High School and served over nine years with the U.S. Army Reserves. On Sept. 19, 1959, he married Rose Mary Haut at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Two Rivers. Dick was retired from Fisher Hamilton of Two Rivers after over 40 years of service.

Since Dick was a young man, he was known not only for his hunting, sporting clays and fishing abilities, but also his genuine care and compassion for God’s creatures. Knowing Dick meant that you likely would hunt with one of his English setters, meet his red squirrel, pet raccoon, or any one of the many birds that he nursed back to health and released. Maybe you’d even see him driving down the road with a Cooper’s hawk perched on his daughter’s arm, looking out the car window.

Dick also enjoyed gun stock checkering, creating beautiful custom wood gun stocks, and the art of fishing rod wrapping.

Survivors include his wife, Rose Mary; one daughter, Kristin, of Two Rivers; his grandchildren, Katelyn (Christopher) Krug and the twins, Ryan and Rachel Kluba; and one sister, Mick Schweers, of Stevens Point. He is further survived by his sisters-in-law, Betty (Danny) Hesselink, of Clintonville, Patsy Haut, and special nephew, Mark Haut, of Shawano, Diana Eggert and Barb Haut; and his buddy and “grand dog,” Jak. He is further survived by his other nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

In addition to his parents, Dick was preceded in death by his brother, Sonny; a sister, Geneva Gast; and brothers-in-law, Roger and Jerry Haut, Bob Schweers and Marvin Gast.

Private family services were held for Dick on Friday, Sept. 16. The Rev. David Arndt officiated the service, with entombment in the Knollwood Chapel Mausoleum, Highway 310, Manitowoc.

Online condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.dejamartin.com.

The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to Lisa Steinhauer, nurse practitioner, for her compassion and care through Dick’s battle with emphysema and COPD; and Cory Kumbalek and Rich (Judy) Graff, who continued to visit, reminisce and share stories through his illness. Special thanks also to Sue Yohanek, Tami Bohman and Frederich Eichhorst who assisted immeasurably during this difficult time.

Mark Anthony Bonnert, 59, of Leopolis, lost his battle with pancreatic cancer Sunday, Sept. 18, 2016, at his home with his mother and sister by his side.

Mark was a member of Lakeview Trap and Sport Club. He was an expert marksman and won several high-gun, high-point and team trap shoots. Although Mark loved all hunting and fishing, duck hunting was his favorite. He enjoyed spending time with his wonderful trap, hunting and fishing friends, as well as his extended family at Hunter’s Nest in Muskego.

In May 2013, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and in June he moved in with his sister, Annette, in Leopolis, where he enjoyed his last few years hunting, fishing and doing as he loved and pleased.

Mark is survived by his mother, Virginia Clark; two sisters, Lorie Benak and Annette Bonnert; several nieces and nephews; and “daughter,” Autumn, his golden retriever.

He was preceded in death by his father, Richard A. Bonnert, and his grandparents, George and Myrtle Bonnert and Ruben and Gladys Moesch.

A gathering of family and friends will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 8, 2016, at The Hunter’s Nest, S80W14401 Schultz Lane, Muskego.
