Through his working career, Dennis worked at Tecumseh Engine in New Holstein until he was able to retire in 2005 and proudly enjoyed every moment of his retirement.  He was a passionate Green Bay Packer fan and Milwaukee Brewer fan who made sure to catch every game he could.  He looked forward to time spent hanging out with his neighbors and playing round after round of Sheepshead with his card club.  Known as “The Tough Guy” on Spring St., Dennis also enjoyed the simple joys of life, like sitting on his front porch and listening to the greatest American song writer, Neil Diamond.  

He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by his children: Conrad Fritschka, Richard Fritschka and his significant other, Jodi Dalton, Ross Fritschka; 7 grandchildren: Elizabeth (Kyle) Bartel, Alycia Fritschka, Corey Fritschka and his significant other, Sara Rautmann, Lee Koehler, Justin Fritschka, Cicilia (Spencer) Hill, Samantha Fritschka; 6 great grandchildren; his siblings: Marcia Fritschka, John, Jr. “Shorty” (Linda) Fritschka, Bonnie (Dave) Wilhelm, Sherry Fritschka, Paul “Pablo” Fritschka; and the mother of his children: Laura Fritschka.  He is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.  

Dennis was preceded in death by his parents; a son: Tod Fritschka; his siblings: Diane (Jim) Wilden, Keith Fritschka, Kay Fritschka, Michael Fritschka; and his best bud, Hunter who was truly ‘Man’s Best Friend’.
