Schlieckau, 96, of Loganville passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 29, 2023, at Our House Senior Life Center in Reedsburg. Walter was born December 15, 1926, on the multi-generational family farm south of Loganville to August and Martha (Wawrock) Schlieckau. He continued operation of the large dairy farm throughout his life and remained active on the farm with his sons well into his 80's. He was able to repair, rebuild, or refine any piece of equipment and enjoyed machining parts and tools. In the early 1950's he met a very special gal and on November 1, 1952, Walter and the former Alva Grosklaus were married in Baraboo, Wisconsin. A celebration and dance followed at the Rock Springs Community Center in Rock Springs, Wisconsin. Walter and Alva raised four amazing sons with an attitude of work hard but enjoy life as well. They enjoyed many special trips over the years with good friends and enjoyed dancing and playing cards – we know he’s playing Sheepshead again now with old friends.
Walter is survived by his wife of 70 years, Alva; sons David (Sharon), Robert (Mary), Darrell (Sharyl), and Randy (Penny) all of Loganville. He is survived by grandchildren Lora (Scott) Dadam, Heidi (Mark) Kruse, Kristine (Zachary) Klemp, Robert Jr. (Lisa) Schlieckau, Sylvia Schlieckau, Maddy Selje, Lexi Selje, and Drew Selje along with great grandchildren Elijah, Jarius, and Asher Dadam; Joseph and David Kruse; Brayden, Lucillia, Aspen, and Hazel Klemp; and, Hunter Schlieckau.
