Burleigh Riggle, of Kronenwetter, passed away peacefully from natural causes on July 23, 2022 at the age of 92. He was born in Rhinelander, Wisconsin in 1929, the youngest of three sons born to Robert and Eunice Riggle. He grew up on their small family dairy farm where he learned the value of hard work and became an avid outdoorsman enjoying hunting, fishing and canoeing. After high school graduation in 1947, he attended UW-Oshkosh, majoring in physics. While in college he met the love of his life, Verla Mae Stutzman. They married in 1951 and, after his graduation, moved to the Panama Canal Zone where Burleigh used his knowledge of physics as a civilian employee of the Navy, measuring ships' magnetic signatures and adjusting each ship's on board equipment to protect them from mines. In 1956 they moved back to Wisconsin and Burleigh accepted a teaching position at Port Washington High School where he taught for a number of years. Burleigh continued his education by attending UW-Madison, where he obtained a master's degree in science education. Accomplishing this with three children under the age of five was quite the endeavor but obtainable with the support of his wife. He continued his career as a science teacher at D.C. Everest in 1961, teaching physics, advanced physics and electronics. He eventually became the head of the science and math departments at both the high school and junior high school. After retiring in 1989, he continued to keep up with advances in physics and electronics and pursued his passion for travel and RV life with Verla. Burleigh will be dearly missed by his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched. He was preceded in death by his wife, Verla, and his brothers, Wayne and Robert. He is survived by his 3 children, Linda (John) Grant of Rib Mountain, Steve (Becky) Riggle of Rib Mountain, and Tammy (Doug) Steven of Eagan, Minnesota. He is also survived by 6 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. There will be a private family celebration of life at a future date. Memorials may be given to the Pachyonychia Congenita Project.
