Watertown resident Daniel Kaddatz retires from Hull Transport

Daniel Kaddatz, a long-time driver for Hull Transport in Stoughton, has retired for a second time. Kaddatz, a Watertown resident, has worked for Hull for about 30 years, according to a press release issued by the company. He received the company’s first-ever “Semi Driver of the Year” award in 2014 for driving 6 million miles without an accident. Kaddatz “loved trucking so much, he even retired once and came back to do local truck driving for us again,” Hull owner Nick Hull wrote in the release. “Danny deserves a huge pat on the back for all the excellent work he did through his driving career, as he is finally throwing in the towel to ‘officially’ hand over his keys and retire. He touched so many lives, made a huge impact on the trucking industry, and I know he will continue to be a blessing to all the people that come across him in life.”

Ralph Harold Krueger was born August 9, 1941 in Watertown, son of Harold and Mabel (Schimelpfenig) Krueger. He attended kindergarten at the old Douglas School, and St. John’s Lutheran School through eighth grade. He was a 1959 graduate of Watertown High School where he lettered in football, basketball, track and baseball. In 1964 he graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in business and a minor in history. Ralph was a business teacher for 13 years at the former Custer High School in Milwaukee. In 1965, he was the first teacher at Custer High School to head the school-to-work program which started in the Milwaukee School District that year. He was head cross country coach, leading teams to state several times. He was also assistant track coach at the school. He loved coaching and kept in touch with several of his students up until the time of his death. He joined the advertising staff of the Watertown Daily Times in 1977 when the family moved to Watertown. He was named business manager of the newspaper in 1984 and served in that capacity for 24 years until his retirement in 2007. He married the former Margaret Ann Clifford on August 7, 1965 at St. Bernard’s Catholic Church in Watertown and celebrated their 57th wedding anniversary this year. Many wonderful family memories were made at the cottage in Lake Mills, and in 2004 they relocated there. He and his wife were marshals of the Watertown Fourth of July Parade in 2007. Throughout his life Ralph was passionate about serving others. He was a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church of Watertown where he formerly volunteered to escort residents to church services at nursing homes. He was a member of the Watertown Lions Club for over 30 years. Over the years, he received several awards and was involved in many community and fund-raising projects for the club. He was most proud of volunteering as a dispatcher and transporter of eye tissue to the Lions Eye Bank of Wisconsin in Madison to provide the gift of sight to those in need. He received a Dedicated Dispatcher Award from the Lions Eye Bank of Wisconsin in 2018. He was a member of the Watertown Country Club for over 40 years. He was a volunteer for Rainbow Hospice, Your Friends in Action, Meals on Wheels, and Marquardt Manor. Also known as the “Cookie Grandpa”, he could often be found in his kitchen baking cookies and bread which he would share with family, friends, neighbors and the ROC Youth Center. He enjoyed spending time with his wife, children and grandchildren both in Wisconsin and while spending winters in New Smyrna Beach, FL. Another highlight of being in New Smyrna Beach was a daily cribbage game with friends. For years, he also played cribbage daily online as a way to stay in touch with far away friends and family. Whether online or in person, he loved connecting and spending time with people while playing cards. He loved to golf and enjoyed playing with groups of friends both in Wisconsin and Florida. He and his wife enjoyed taking many trips around the world. He was an avid fan of the Green Bay Packers, UW-Madison Badgers, Milwaukee Bucks and Milwaukee Brewers. Above all, he was devoted to his family. He was happiest when his family was together, and seldom missed a sporting event or activity of his children or grandchildren. His family has many fond memories of boat rides and time spent at Rock Lake with him. He is survived by his wife, Margaret; two daughters, Kelly (Thomas) Smilanich and Lisa Ruth Krueger; two grandchildren, Matthew (Danielle) Smilanich and Sarah (Jack) O’Keefe; two sisters, Shirley (Wayne) Kuckkahn and Shelby Erdmann; one sister-in-law, Donna Krueger; and nieces, nephews and other relatives.

If desired, memorials may be made to St. John’s Lutheran Church, Lions Eye Bank of Wisconsin or Rainbow Hospice.

Man of courage and wit, Gary Scholl worked to enjoy his life to the end

Gary Wayne Scholl was one of those people who went through life saying a glass was half-full, not half empty. He had a good sense of humor and a positive attitude, said his family and friends. He kept that spirit even after he found out last year that he had cancer and had about a year to live. "He was extremely courageous," said his daughter, Teri Steffen of Bloomington. "He never gave up. He was never scared. Never depressed. That was the kind of man he was. He was just very warm, positive, courageous." Scholl, surrounded by his family, died Monday in his Apple Valley home. He was 50. "He was a man who found a balance between his family, career and spiritual beliefs," said a family friend, Joellen Finch. "He did that with a mischievous sense of humor." Scholl worked in sales for 13 years at Oscar Mayer Co. before joining American Fruit and Produce, which does business as Kraft/American, in 1976 as a meat merchandiser. He most recently was the company's sales director. "Gary was a super salesman and he was responsible for a lot of our sales growth in the past 10 years," said Andrew Montgomery, the company's controller. Scholl was also responsible for keeping people in good spirits on the job. "He was always ready with a joke," Montgomery said. "He was always up, and that rubbed off on a lot of us." Scholl was born in Milwaukee and grew up in Oconomowoc, Wis. He joined the Army in 1955 and was a paratrooper with the 101st Airborne Division. Besides Teri Steffen, he is survived by another daughter, Kathy Scholl of St. Paul; his wife, Diane; three sons, Kevin Scholl of Texas, Thomas Steffen of Inver Grove Heights and Timothy Steffen of Minneapolis, and a brother, Ken of Baltimore, Md. Memorial services will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday at River Hills United Methodist Church in Burnsville. Burial will be in Fort Snelling National Cemetery. Memorials are suggested to the Gary W.

Sines, Janet

MADISON - Janet Sines passed away Sunday, May 5, 2002, at the HospiceCare Center of Madison, Wis. Janet "Juanita Elizabeth" Sines was born in Madison, on May 12, 1943. She attended elementary through junior high school in Mauston, Wis. She attended high school in Watertown, Wis. Janet married John P. Lehmann of Watertown, and had three children, John, James and Jeffery. She re-married in 1973 and had her fourth son, Michael Zorko. Janet has four grandchildren, Tyler and Caitlin from son James, Taylor, from son Michael, and Jacob, from son John. John and his wife Tracy are expecting Janet's fifth grandchild in July. Janet had several different vocational experiences: waitressing, manufacturing, retail, health care, and sales. Her greatest involvement was in the area of social welfare. She worked with people dealing with alcohol and drug abuse in a formal setting through Rogers Memorial Hospital. Later she worked at a halfway house for mentally impaired adults in Fort Atkinson, Wis. Janet was employed at Meritor Hospital from 1988 to 1991. Even when not formally working in the social welfare arena, Janet always made the time to listen to others' problems and offer assistance not expecting anything in return. She was a very loving and caring woman to all the people that were fortunate enough to know her. She even had an effect on those she didn't know personally via her involvement in different charitable/personal rights organizations. She is survived by her mother, Pearl Lanora Sines; and her brother, Darrell Sines, and sister-in-law, Doris (Babcock). Janet also has a half-brother, Ted Sines of Gray, La.; and half-sister, Elaine Erickson of Bullhead City, Ariz. Her father, Russell Wayne Sines, preceded her in death. A memorial service was held Wednesday May 8, 2002. A major area of importance to Janet was the rights/ethical treatment of Native Americans. In honor of this highly important facet of her life, Janet requested that those inclined to send flowers please make a donation to any organization benefiting Native Americans instead. The world is surely a better place thanks to her having lived. We love and will miss her.
