Patric E. Hempel, “Pat” passed away peacefully, Monday, February 13, 2017, after a hard fought battle with lymphoma. He was 70 years young. Loving husband of Mary, married 42 years. Proud father of Kelly (Chris Schafer) Hempel. Dear brother of Gloria (Richard) Jerabek. Kind brother-in-law of Bernadene (Cliff) Peters, Brian (Carol) Mueller and Mike Mueller. He is further survived by nieces, nephews, relatives and good friends. His furry companions will miss him as well; Brett, Whiskey and Lucy.
Pat was an avid outdoors man, enjoying all of nature and wildlife. He enjoyed hunting and fishing for many years. Training his springer spaniels for field trials was a pleasure and passion. He was an active member of the West Allis Kennel Club and the Southern Wisconsin Sporting Spaniels Club. His dogs placed in several Midwest championships. He was very proud to be part of the English Springer Spaniel “family.”
Every season of the year had a favorite activity and he looked forward to them all; golfing in the summer, cheering for Packers in the fall, fishing at the river and training dogs. Pat had many talents and skills that he shared with his family and friends. He will be missed.
