Dennis E. Pietrzak , age 63, of Oshkosh, passed away on Thursday, February 11, 2010 at

Theda Clark Hospital from an abdominal aortic aneurysm. He was born July 30, 1946 in Milwaukee, the son of Rose and Edward Pietrzak.


Dennis proudly served his country as a U.S. Marine during the Vietnam conflict. After serving his country he married Judie Fritz and was later transferred to Phoenix, Arizona by his employer at the time, where he also attended A.S.U. in Tempe in addition to having his own bookkeeping business. After 9 years they moved back to Wisconsin and made Oshkosh their hometown in which to raise their family. Dennis was employed by Air Gas for many years until this illness took his life.


Dennis enjoyed all sports, especially college and pro football, baseball, traveling, and all animals, especially his dog Baily and his horse Skippy. He especially enjoyed his grandchildren and loved taking them places.
