Schreiter, 63, of Appleton, Wisconsin, passed away on Tuesday, June 27, 2023 peacefully at his home with his loving wife, Sandra Miller-Schreiter, by his side.  Dick was born on December 5, 1959, to the late Donald and Dorothy (Schilling) Schreiter.  Numbers were a passion of Dick’s.  He enjoyed working for Directions, Inc. for the majority of his career.  Before retirement, Dick served as the Business Manager at his church, St. Therese Catholic Parish.
