FOND DU LAC, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Governor Tony Evers signed an executive order for flags to fly half-staff in Fond du Lac County in honor of its county executive Allen Buechel who died earlier this week.
Buechel passed away on Sunday at the age of 74.
He served on the board for 17 years.
“County Executive Buechel was one of the longest serving executives in our state, which just underscores his commitment to public service, dedicating nearly three decades as county executive and nearly a half century in total as a leader in the Fond du Lac community,” said Gov. Evers. “County Executive Buechel’s work over the years has established him as an effective and accomplished leader at the local, state, and national level. Kathy and I offer our deepest sympathies to his wife, Betty, and their entire family, as well as his friends, colleagues, and so many whose lives were impacted by his service as they honor his memory and mourn his loss.”
The executive order allows Fond du Lac County officials to choose the date of interment.
