Quelle, Randy Scott (March 18, 1958 - July 21, 2008)

Randy Scott Quelle, 50, passed away peacefully at his home in Withee on Monday, July 21, 2008 after a courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by his loving wife, Lori, sons Ben and Caleb and other family members.

Randy was born on March 18, 1958 in Marshfield to the late Harley and Dora (Doege) Quelle. He was the youngest of seven children.

Randy attended Owen-Withee schools and graduated in 1976. He was united in marriage to Lori Niznik in 1978 at St. John's Lutheran Church, where they remain members.

Randy worked at Liberty Homes for 17 years and was currently employed by Indianhead Community Action Agency where he did home improvement and weatherization work.

Randy's first love was his family and he loved spending time outdoors. He strived to keep them warm through the cold Wisconsin winters making firewood, which he loved to do. He enjoyed fishing, hunting and hanging out on his land by Black River with his family and buddies, Dober, Dennis and Fit (God rest his soul).

He will be sadly missed by his wife of 30 years, Lori; two sons, Ben (Jewelene) of Marshfield; Caleb (Brianne Christophersen) of Withee; three grandchildren, Rhiannon, Axel and Riley; brothers, Ronald (Carol) Quelle of Bensenville, Ill. and Rodney (Cindy) Quelle of Phillips; sisters, Dawn (the late John) Izewski and Doreen (Frank) Grendys of Phillips; numerous nieces and nephews; cousins, sisters and brothers-in-law; his mother-in-law, Winnie Niznik; and many friends.

He was preceded in death by his son, Joshua; his parents, Harley and Dora Quelle; two brothers, Clarence (Geno) and Richard; two sisters-in-law, Barbara (Clarence Quelle) and Billie (Richard Quelle); and brother-in-law, John Izewski.

Funeral services were handled by Maurina-Schilling Funeral Home in Owen with church services Thursday at 11 a.m. at St. John's Lutheran Church in Withee. Pallbearers are Mike Dobrzynski, Tim Stock, Chad Koplein, John Niznik, Bill Niznik and Dennis Dumke.
