David A. Wieckert

Joan & Ward, Bonnie & I were shocked when we heard the news of Dave's passing. The biography posted by George Shook mentions Dave having had hundreds of advisees--I was pleased to have been one of them. As well as a great advisor, he was a fine role model for all those students he taught during his career. The world is poorer for his loss. We will miss him. Glen & Bonnie Broderick

My deepest sympathy to the Wieckert family on the passing of Dave. I was fortunate to be able to take a couple classes from Dr. Wieckert while at the UW from 1969-73 and have many wonderful memories of those classes, particularly the trip he arranged and took us on to Canada where we visited farms. I had the chance to reconnect with Dr. Wieckert a couple years ago while helping preparing stories for the We Need A Show book on World Dairy Expo where he was most gracious in helping me source international people to talk with for my story. He will be deeply missed by his many students.

Larry Olson: Dr. Wieckert was my advisor and actually got me through a difficult 2 years at the U.W. I was working at home and trying to graduate and he saw to it that I did exactly that. My Daughter Kim and I were his first 2 generation students to have him according to his recollection. He was a mentor as well to me and I will always be thankful for his help. Condolences to his family and friends.

Joan and Ward, our sympathy to you at this difficult time. God Bless, Chuck and Helen Maulbetsch

Mrs. Wieckert and Ward, David made a lasting and positive impact in many lives, including my own as a cub scout leader and father of a good friend. May you find comfort in your memories. You are all in my prayers. Bob Feller
