Update: Here is a more detailed story in the Journal Sentinel, and here are details from Oak Creek Patch.
Oak Creek Mayor Dick Bolender has died.
Oak Creek Patch broke the story this morning, and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has confirmed it.
Bolender’s death, which reportedly came at his home on Saturday, comes after he announced earlier this week that he would not seek re-election this spring.
I’ll keep you posted when I learn more. In the meantime, let’s keep the Bolender family — and all those who knew and respected the Oak Creek mayor — in our prayers.
