Richard Carroll, Jr.

Richard W. Carroll, Jr. - "Dick" - Age 80, died April 3, 2023, at Rennes Health Care in De Pere. He was born June 21, 1942, to Richard and Mary (Pokrywka) Carroll of Wrightstown. As a child he attended St. Paul Catholic School and went to Wrightstown High School where he graduated in 1961. He lived in Wrightstown all his life until he moved to Wayside Parkview Estates assisted living in Wayside in November of 2022. Dick served his country in the Army from 1964-1966. He was stationed in Vietnam. He was thrilled to be able to be one of the lucky guys to go on the Honor Flight to Washington D.C. in 2014. He enjoyed going up north, where in his lifetime, owned four different places (not all at the same time). First cabin was in Mountain, second in Pickerel, third Moody Lake (near Chute Pond), and the last place on Tar Dan Road, between Mountain and Lakewood. Dick enjoyed taking rides on scenic country roads and attending car shows with his '60 T-Bird. He also purchased his brother Jack’s '49 Ford Coupe and enjoyed showing that off to friends and family. He loved working on a farm, with the hope of always owning one (which never happened). He worked for Ariens in Brillion for 40 years. He is survived by a brother and three sisters: Mary Anne (Tom) Gussert, Ed (Carol) Carroll, Florence Angell, and Margaret Carroll. He was preceded in death by his parents; a brother: Jack; and brother-in-law: Lee Angell.
