Obituary

Richard Volesky, of Port Washington, passed away surrounded by his loving family in the morning hours of Monday, February 1, 2021 at Aurora Medical Center in Grafton. He was 62 years old. Richard was born in Port Washington on November 11, 1958, son of Roman Volesky and Elinor Stern Volesky. He grew up in the Town of Saukville and graduated from Ozaukee High School with the class of 1976. During high school he played basketball and played in the high school band. After high school, Richard received his Associates Degree in business from the University of Wisconsin Washington County. He was employed at Doerr Electric in Cedarburg, Gilson Manufacturing in Plymouth, and Kohler Co. Engines Division, where he recently retired after 34 years as a Senior Material Scheduler. On September 20, 1986 he married Ann Hollrith at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Saukville. Richard loved playing softball. One of his proudest moments was when he pitched a perfect (no hit) game in the Port Washington Men's Open Softball League on July 15, 1980. No opposing batter reached first base. He also enjoyed going fishing with his family, was a big fan of the Green Bay Packers and the Milwaukee Brewers, and took a lot of pride in his lawn care.
