A resident for many years of Elm Grove, Wisconsin, he was the loving husband for 50 years of June; cherished father of Julianna (Richard) Campbell, Hannah (Andrew) Kearns, Bea-Ida (Thomas) Robertson, and Tyler Olmstead; treasured grandfather of Timothy and Benjamin Campbell, and Anastasia, Marcella, Stephen, and Henderson Kearns; and brother of Tom (Jo Ann) Olmstead. He is also lovingly remembered by nieces, nephews, other relatives, friends, and parishioners.
A Requiem Eucharist was celebrated by the Bishop of Milwaukee, Steven A. Miller, at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 18 at St. Edmund's Episcopal Church in Elm Grove, Wisconsin. A reception followed in the church hall.
