Mr. Richard "Rick" F. Spitzer

Richard “Rick” F. Spitzer, 63, went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Thursday, December 21, 2017. Rick was born on January 24, 1954 in Green Bay. On December 11, 1995 he married Jane Mordarsky and they just celebrated their 22nd Wedding Anniversary. Rick was employed at Georgia Pacific as a Fork Lift Operator for over 34 years until his retirement in 2005. He loved hunting, fishing, being outdoors and carpentry. Rick had so many interests and loves in this life that it would be hard to write~ but one of his special and most favorite times was spent watch birds out of their window with Jane. He had a servants heart and was always giving to others before himself. Rick loved and cherished his family, especially spending time with his grandchildren. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, a friend to many and will always be lovingly remembered and sorrowfully missed. We know if Rick could tell you all one thing it would be~ “We are never guaranteed another day. I was blessed many years ago when I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. John 3:16 “For God so loved the World that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever would believeth in Him would not perish but have everlasting life.” Jesus changed me, filled me with His Love, gave me Grace & Mercy. Accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Savior means changing your way of life, giving your life to Christ totally and following him no matter the cost.” No matter how much pain he suffered he knew Jesus was walking with him. Rick is survived by his loving wife Jane, daughter and son-in-law Kelly (Ken) Mullins, Matthew (Cheryl) Spitzer, Step daughters Elaine Izzi, Lori (Dave) Daniel, 8 grandchildren Derek, Jordan, Sarah, Savannah, Hailey, Jaden, Cami and Zoey, 4 great-grandchildren Emma, Brayden, Harper and Griffin, his brothers and sisters Deanna (Dan), Wendy, Vicky, Dennis (Linda), Debra (Ken), Dirk (Tina), Tina and her husband, his brother-in-law Daniel. Gathering of family and friends will be held from 2:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. on Friday, December 29, 2017 at Sepia Chapel 2562 Finger Road. A Prayer Service will be held at 6:00 P.M.
