As a member of the greatest generation, he loved being a husband, father, and grandfather and great grandfather, loved his country, was a hard worker with high ethics, was frugal and loved his God. On January 4, 2024, he was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 72 years, Mary Louise (Thomas) Schlentner. In addition to his wife, he was preceded in death by his daughter Janet Salopek; his sisters Johanna Seagren and Erna Baumgartel; and his brother Raymond Schlentner. He is survived by his daughter Linda (Michael) Moore, his son Eric (Patricia Schwalbach) Schlentner, and son-in-law John Salopek; grandfather of Matthew Salopek, Jeffrey (Katie) Salopek, and Gregory (Natalie) Salopek; great grandfather of Lilliana, Amelia, Nolan, and Nora.
