Rikli, Tony E. 

RIDGEWAY - Tony E. Rikli, age 42, of Ridgeway, died on Tuesday, Jan.
3, 2006, at the Don and Marilyn Anderson HospiceCare Center,
Fitchburg. He was born on May 7, 1963, in Dodgeville. Tony graduated
from Dodgeville High School in 1982, where he excelled in many sports.
He worked as a carpenter in the Ridgeway area for the past 25 years.
He worked with his father for many years before starting his own
business. He married Kristen Gullickson of Stoughton in 1999. During
Tony's illness, Kristen was devoted to making him happy. He was
blessed with a son, Colton in 2001. Tony enjoyed sharing his passion
for the outdoors and baseball with Colton. They could often be found
in the front yard shooting his bow or playing ball. Tony was an avid
outdoorsman, and particularly enjoyed fishing walleyes and hunting in
Colorado. He played baseball for the Ridgeway Home Talent. He recently
received the Dennis Morgan Award for Courage from the Home Talent
League, for his courage and tremendous attitude. Tony enjoyed visiting
his friends and family. He was a very colorful storyteller and could
be found making many people laugh. He could also be a prankster,
especially when it came to sharing his asparagus. Tony was a very
independent spirit and would often remind people to get their
priorities straight. He voicemail message was, "If this is about
hunting or fishing leave a message, if this is about work, forget it."
