<h3><strong>David Laughlin Groetzinger</strong></h3>
David Laughlin Groetzinger, 89, of Sun City Center, Florida, passed away peacefully on Saturday, October 14, 2017 at the Brandon Medical Center. David was born to Howard and Thelma Groetzinger in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He served a tour of duty in the U.S. Army in Korea, and returned home to marry the love of his life, Bunny Parker. They raised four children and remained in Pittsburgh until 1995 when they retired to Florida.
David was a kind and friendly man who had weekly routines which included going to the pool daily (weather permitting) and driving to a favorite restaurant for lunch every Wednesday afternoon. He was known by his friends as “2 o’clock Dave” since he always left the pool within a few minutes of 2 p.m.
He enjoyed frequent visits with his sister Sally and her husband Rod Sechler, who lived right around the corner, and enjoyed spending time with his son Ken, of Brandon, Florida, and hearing from his daughter-in-law Susan (Anderson Groetzinger), of Pittsburgh. He looked forward to visits from his daughter, Gail and her husband Maitland (Peet) of Port Angeles, Wash., and his son John and wife Deborah (Groetzinger) of LaVale, Md. He also enjoyed reading the newspaper and watching TV, (especially Judge Judy). He is preceded in death by his wife Bunny and son David Jerome. In addition to his three children and sister, David is survived by his brother, Howard and wife Betty Groetzinger, many loving grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and great-grandchildren.
He was a devoted husband, loving father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, and was a friend to all. Arrangements by Zipperer’s Funeral Home.

Delores Jean Bienkowski Schmidt died peacefully at her home on Monday, October 23, 2017, in Ruskin, Florida at the age of 75.
Delores is survived by her children, Erick William Schmidt of Brandon, Fla., William Leopold Schmidt II of Land O’Lakes, Fla., Stefanie Michelle Schmidt of Ruskin, Fla., Cassie Anne Schmidt of Gibsonton, Fla., and her only grandchild, William Leopold “Trey” Schmidt III. She is preceded in death by her husband, William Leopold Schmidt of Wimauma, Fla.
Delores was born on July 3, 1942, in Cleveland, Ohio to Stephen and Victoria Bienkowski. Delores and her husband were introduced while she worked at a print shop owned by Bill's brother-in-law in Cleveland, Ohio and it was love at first sight. They moved from Cleveland, Ohio to Florida to pursue job opportunities and to start their family. Her only grandchild remembers her as Nana, who would always take him toy shopping when he spent time with her and her delicious famous chocolate-chip brownies. Her cousins Nancy, Jerry, Tammi and Samantha Bieda of Cleveland, Ohio remember her as a loving cousin and dear friend.
Delores will always be remembered as a loving mother, grandmother and cherished friend to many.
