Ulrikson, Donald R.

August 25 (24), 1931 – January 19, 2015          

Donald R. Ulrikson passed away peacefully at Angel’s Grace Hospice in Oconomowoc on Monday, January 19. Loving father of Jane (Kulinski), Nancy (Movrich), Todd, and Lisa (Smith).  Caring father-in-law of Tom, Nick, Sis, and Trent.  Cherished and loving grandpa to Jennie, Nikki, Kurt, Annie, Sean, Janie, Amy, Trevor, Craig and Luke.  Cuddly great-grandpa to Bruce, Ellie, Lydia and Josie.  Brother of Jerry.  He was special to nephews, nieces, and many other friends, especially Dolly.  He will be joining his wife, June, his mother and father, Ingvald and Lydia, and his brothers Dave and Dewayne and his sister Darlene.

Don celebrated his life in many ways.  He was incredibly proud of his family. He practiced his faith.  He believed in hard work, honesty, and integrity. He was the successful owner of DJ&R Manufacturing.   He loved his dogs and always had a treat for them in his pocket.  He enjoyed everything about horses from betting, to art, to his 83rd birthday polo match celebration.  He was dedicated to Ford cars…all 35 throughout his life.  He enjoyed golf to the end…sponsoring a team when he could no longer play. 

A Celebration of Don’s Life will be held on Saturday, January 31st at 1:00 PM at Mount Olive Lutheran Church (211 Main St., Mukwonago). The family will greet friends from 11:00 AM until the time of Service at 1:00 PM at the church.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials to Mount Olive Lutheran Church, Angels Grace Hospice or ParkWalk for Cancer.

The family wishes to thank his wonderful health care providers – Oconomowoc Memorial Hospital, Angel’s Grace Hospice, and all of the family and friends who helped Don and his family during his final days.  He will be greatly missed.
