Dr. Anthony “Tony” Joseph Strigenz, DDS, 87, of Kewaskum was born into Eternal Life on Wednesday, August 28, 2019 at St. Francis Home in Fond du Lac, WI. He was born on November 25, 1931, to the late Anton and Catherine (nee Hoffer) Strigenz in Milwaukee. He graduated from Custer High School and went onto Milwaukee State Teacher’s College, then graduated from Marquette University Dental School in 1955. On August 20, 1955, he was united in marriage to Elizabeth “Betsy” Walker at St. Bernard Catholic Church in Wauwatosa, WI. Together they had nine children, all of whom are either physicians or attorneys, of which he was most proud. After serving as a Captain and a dentist in the United States Army in Germany, Tony practiced dentistry for nearly 50 years. He never turned down a patient, whether they had the ability to afford the services or not. He moved his family from Milwaukee to his beloved farm in Farmington in 1969, where he enlisted in his children a strong work ethic. In his free time, he enjoyed polka music and playing the accordion. He especially enjoyed spending time with Betsy, his children and grandchildren around the big farmhouse kitchen table. He will be dearly missed by his family and friends. Those Tony leaves behind to cherish his memory include his nine children, Deborah Strigenz of Kewaskum, Michael (Mary) Strigenz of Fond du Lac, Mark (Christine) Strigenz of Wauwatosa, Andrew (Christina) Strigenz of Clyde Hill, Washington, Anthony (Diane) Strigenz of Fond du Lac, Elizabeth (Mark) Bensen of West Bend, Thomas (Mandy) Strigenz of Papillion, Nebraska, Timothy (Dierdre) Strigenz of Bozeman, Montana, and Carrie (Greg) Miljevich of Rhinelander; 22 grandchildren, David, Rebecca, Sarah, Daniel, Michael, Catherine, Anna, Adam, Nathan, Alec, Matthew, Scott, Heidi, Elizabeth, Hannah, Ally, Quinn, Grace, Evelyn, Sophie, Ella, and Max; three great-grandchildren, Belle, Miles, and Emmie; his sister, Maryanne New; two brothers-in-law, David (Thelma) Walker and Thomas II (Mary Jean) Walker; a sister-in-law, Mary (John) Closs; and many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
