Tony Wied Republican
“I want to honor Dave Schmidt, who recently died. He spent many years helping run a local food pantry to feed families in need.”
“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of Dave Schmidt, a dedicated servant of the Clintonville community. Dave sadly passed away on June 8 after a courageous battle with cancer. For many years, he gave his time and energy to the Clintonville Area Food Pantry, helping make sure local families had food, support, and someone willing to answer the call when they needed help. Dave was not someone who served for praise or recognition. He simply saw a need, and he stepped forward. In recognition of that legacy, the Clintonville Area Food Pantry will now be known as Dave’s Pantry. This name is a fitting tribute to a man whose kindness touched countless lives across northeastern Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join the people of northeastern Wisconsin and me in thanking Dave Schmidt for his life of service. My prayers are with his family, his friends, and those who knew and loved him.”
