Richard 'Dick' Carlson, 84 of Bowler, died at his home, 'The Farm', on Friday, February 12, 2021, after a brave battle with Alzheimer's. Dick was born on April 11, 1936 to Walter and Jennie (Lind) Carlson. He grew up in the Birnamwood area and joined the Army after graduation, serving in Alaska.
He married Rachel Ostrowski in Hatley and together they started their family, The Carlson's. Nine kids strong, they gave the kids a good work ethic and core family values.
Everyone remembers him as a strong man, farming in Ripon, Oshkosh and Shawano before establishing 'The Farm' in Bowler, a place where everyone was welcome.
Dick enjoyed music, especially the country greats. He liked sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee. He liked cars, his cat 'Coyhis' and cheering on the Chicago Bears.
He never found a need to travel preferring to be at home in case any of the kids or grandkids would stop in and he could make them a bite to eat.
He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Raymond; and son Joe Richard, "I get to see you again."
