Richard Warren Hartley

Hartley, Richard W.
Found peace in the Lord, October 2, 2013 after a seven month battle with cancer. Richard was born and raised in Sanford, Maine; the son of Ernest and Christine (Riley) Hartley. After 61 years of marriage, he leaves his loving wife Gwen (Hagen) and his daughter Colleen, husband Ralph (Metzner) and granddaughter, Michaeleen; and his son Neal, wife Kathleen (Novey), grandchildren, Ryan and Krista. Richard’s two brothers Ernest (Edith) and James and three sisters, Evelyn (Harry) Roche, Mildred (Richard) Monahan and Marian Marceau preceded him in death. Surviving in-laws are Adele Clark, Phil Marceau, Ethel Fleming, Jean Witt and Dale Donegan. In addition to the immediate family, he leaves behind many dear relatives, good friends and neighbors.
Richard served in the US Air Force during the Korean Conflict of 1948-1952 and was a member of the VFW Post #5716 honor guard.
The funeral will be held on Sunday, October 13, 2013 at the Heritage Funeral Home in New Berlin with visitation beginning at 4:00 pm, followed by a short service at 5:30 pm, and a military presentation. Pastor Scot Ruffatto will be officiating. In lieu of flowers due to allergies, memorials to the family are appreciated. Interment at Elk Creek Lutheran Cemetery, Osseo, WI will be at a later date.
Richard loved the challenge of the great outdoors and shared that with his family. He loved his family, his plumbing work, and his many great friends over the years.
