In case you haven’t heard, Dave Lang, the founder of the Bucyrus History Museum, died this week of brain cancer. He was 65.
I only met Dave a couple times when we were starting up the South Milwaukee Downtown Market, and it was easy to see how much he loved and supported our community.
He was also dedicated to preserving its history as Bucyrus curator and founder of its cool museum, a true hidden gem in South Milwaukee.
And I think it was only fitting that on Saturday, the day after he was buried, Bucyrus opened its doors for the Christmas Market and attracted hundreds of people to the museum that Lang helped build.
Read an obituary here, and post memories of Dave below. Rest in peace, Dave, and your family is in my prayers.
