Richard “Dick, Rich” Kotowski, age 81, of Mount Pleasant, passed away at home on Friday, December 13th. He was born in Milwaukee on March 1, 1943, to the late Harry and Marion (nee: Butzlaff) Kotowski.
Dick graduated from Pulaski high school in 1961 and studied at UWM and UW Madison, receiving his degree in Pharmacy in 1968. He owned and operated Lake Pharmacy in Racine, before retiring in 2011. On September 5, 1970, he was united in marriage to Jane Barta. Dick loved good food, sheepshead, downhill skiing, fishing trips with friends, and spoiling the neighborhood dogs.
He is survived by his wife Jane, son Douglas (Laura) Kotowski, daughter Sarah (Jes Gettler) Kotowski, grandchildren Catherine and Charlotte Kotowski, sisters- and brothers-in-law, and numerous nieces, nephews, good friends, and family. He was preceded in death by his parents Harry and Marion, sister Carol (Charles) Meyer, and son Matthew Kotowski.
Dick had a generous fun-loving spirit and was often the life of the party. He will be missed.
The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to Aurora Home Hospice, especially nurse Kathryn. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Wisconsin Humane Society or the American Cancer Society.
