Frank R. Langholff

Frank R. Langholff, 91 of Jefferson, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, March 13, 2023, at home.

Frank was born on May 18, 1931, in Jefferson, WI, the son of Frank and Gertrude (Schemm) Langholff.  He was confirmed at St. John’s Ev. Lutheran Church of Jefferson and attended the school there.  Frank was a devout Christian man who loved his family dearly.  He was employed at Stoppenbach’s of Jefferson, Ready Serve of Fort Atkinson, and a part-time farmer with his brother, Erwin.  Frank was an avid vegetable gardener and enjoyed being outside, feeding the birds.  His Belgium Draft Horses that he kept as pets, were a passion, and Frank owned many of them over the years. His last horse, “Dan”, was very special to Frank and people would stop at the family farm to admire his beauty and give him treats.  Dan even graced the front page of the Daily Jefferson County Union when he died.  Frank will be missed by his family and friends.
