Allen G. Schleicher

Allen George Schleicher, age 85, of Green Lake, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully at his home on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. Allen was born on October 12, 1941, in Ripon, Wisconsin, to Lloyd and Clara (Krueger) Schleicher.

Allen graduated from Ripon High School in 1959 and continued his education at Moraine Park Technical School, where he studied drafting and became a draftsman. He began his career at Rockwell Standard Corporation in Oshkosh before moving on to Lenox Candle Factory, where he worked as a supervisor for 15 years. In 1988, Allen started his own business, Badgerland Water, selling water treatment systems. He proudly operated his business until his retirement in 2015.

On February 5, 1966, Allen married Gloria Wesner at Terrace Shore Evangelical Free Church. Together, they shared more than 60 years of marriage and raised three children: Scott, Robyn, and Angela.

Allen had a lifelong passion for fast, classic cars and often joked that he wished he had never gotten rid of the cars he owned when he was younger. In recent years, he spent time working on a 1935 Ford, with one important detail already decided: it was, of course, going to have a Chevy engine. In his younger days, Allen loved hitting the lanes for league nights with his buddies, a pastime that earned him life long memories and the ultimate bragging rights when he bowled a perfect 300 game. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing whenever his health allowed. A devoted Wisconsin sports fan, Allen rarely missed an opportunity to watch Badger football or basketball. He was also a loyal Milwaukee Brewers fan and loved watching their games, especially enjoying their World Series championship this year.

Allen is survived by his loving wife of more than 60 years, Gloria; his son, Robyn Schleicher (Crystal); his daughter, Angela Michel (Cory); and his daughter-in-law, Tara Schleicher. He is also survived by his sister-in-law, Donna Werch, along with many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his son, Scott Allen Schleicher; his parents, Lloyd and Clara Schleicher; his parents-in-law, Reinhold and Lillian Wesner; and his brother-in-law, Dwain Werch.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the hospice team at SSM for the kindness, compassion, and exceptional care they provided Allen during his final days. Their support brought comfort to Allen and his family, and we are deeply grateful.

A private graveside service will be held at Weiser Cemetery.
