Racine – Abelardo Lopez, 57, passed away at All Saints Hospital on Wednesday, December 28, 2016. He was born in Racine on April 6, 1959, the son of Jesus R and Micaela (nee: Amaya) Lopez. Abel was a 1977 graduate of Washington Park High School and was a proud member of The International Brotherhood of Teamsters.

Abel was an Artist, a man of many talents and interests. The Lord gave him the gift to create with his hands. As a carpenter he enjoyed building and finishing furniture in his home workshop. Some families have a “Mr.-Fix-It” he was our “Tio Lalo Fix-It”. He was a family man who cherished the time spent with his children and grandchildren. He had a love for gardening, nature, trivia, good music, his Catholic faith and was a diehard Green Bay Packers fan. He was also a cat daddio and proud of it. Abel will be genuinely missed by many people and cats alike.

Abel is survived by his children, Rodolfo Lopez, Anita M Lopez, and Christy S Keeran; grandchildren Cameron (Chavalito), Olivia(Angel-Eyes), Kaeden(Gordito), Anthony(Antonio), Hailey, Julia, Ava, Gabriel, Ariela, and Arturo; and his mother Micaela A Lopez. He is further survived by his brothers and sisters, Jesus R Lopez Jr, Micaela (Jamie) Guzman, Arturo (Cindy) Lopez, Carlos Lopez, and Sabina Lopez; nieces and nephew, Gabriela, Monica, Julian, Melissa, and Madeline; as well as other countless relatives and friends around the nation. He was preceded in death by his father, Jesus Lopez Sr.

Funeral services will be held in the funeral home on Thursday, January 5, 2017 at 6pm with Rev. Allen Bratkowski officiating. Visitation from 4pm – 6pm. Memorials to the family have been suggested.

Testimonials

October 9, 2020

I would like to thank Mike Langendorf, Bill Althaus and the rest of the staff for the wonderful celebration of the life for my father Raymond L. Szymanski who was a WWII veteran. I especially appreciate how much you really listen and the questions you asked regarding who my father was and what he was all about. Those details showed up in every part of the service from the flowers, the music, the thank you’s, pictures, obituary, outdoor military honors, etc. etc. My father would have been so grateful for the way you honored his life. I also received phone calls from family and friends indicating how beautiful the service was in every way. You and your staff definitely go above and beyond. You treat everyone like family and your compassion is so genuine. There should be more people in the world just like all of you. No words can express our gratitude for all you have done for myself, my father and our family. Thank you so very much and may the Lord bless you and yours! Sincerely Terri Carls and the Szymanski Family

Theresa Lynn Carls
