David N. Schram

David N. Schram, 80, of Plymouth, Wisconsin, passed away at his home on March 13, 2026.

Born on April 26, 1945, in Plymouth, Dave was the son of the late Norbert and Hazel (Bubb) Schram. He graduated from Plymouth High School in 1963 and served in the Army National Guard from 1965 to 1971. On November 5, 1977, he married Janet Grossheim at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Plymouth, and the couple made their home there for the rest of their years together.

Dave worked at Sargento Foods for 45 years. He was also a dedicated member of the Plymouth Volunteer Fire Department for more than 20 years, and he belonged to both the Plymouth Historical Society and the Plymouth Car Club, where he enjoyed displaying his 1930 Ford Model A at local shows. An avid reader with a deep love of history, he cherished sharing stories from his childhood, often inspired by old postcards of Plymouth. He also found joy in collecting model trains, attending stock car races, and watching the Indianapolis 500. Above all, he treasured time spent with his family and the companionship of his late dog, Mikie.

He is survived by his wife, Janet; daughters Sarah (Robert) Schnettler and Laura Schram; grandchildren Reagan and Miles Schnettler, who lovingly called him “Pata”; his sister, Jean Kornetzke; brothers-in-law Kevin (Linda) Grossheim and Brian (Diana) Grossheim; sister-in-law Ann Grossheim; and many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers-in-law Gordon Kornetzke and David Grossheim, and his father- and mother-in-law, Leroy and Priscilla Grossheim.
