Obituary: Alvin M. Eichler

Jan. 28, 1931 – March 25, 2024

On the morning of March 25, 2024 we lost a “Fantastic” man, Alvin Eichler.

Al was born on Jan. 28, 1931 in Milwaukee to the late Michael and Emma (Runge) Eichler.

He was married for 66 years to his wife, Sherrill (Petersen) Eichler; dad to Lori (Howard) Leppen, Lunette Eichler, Allan Eichler (deceased) and Becky (Patrick) Clayton; grandfather to Nicole, and Everett; great-grandfather to Logan; and brother to Beulah Star.

Al graduated with a metallurgical engineering degree from University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1954. He was a member and officer in American Society for Metals, JCs, Kangaroo Lake Association (member and board member), and was a Ridges Sanctuary volunteer—voted as Volunteer of the Year in 2005.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date at which time everyone is encouraged to wear Bucky Badger attire or red and white at Al’s request. Service date and time will be announced.

Huehns Funeral Home, Inc. & Door County Crematory LLC in Sturgeon Bay are assisting the family. Expressions of sympathy, memories, and photos of Alvin may be shared with his family through his tribute page at huehnsfuneralhome.com.
