Community Servant Honored In Shorewood

SHOREWOOD,WI— You may have noticed a new addition in front of the old Kensington Liquor Store.

This week, a bench was placed there in honor of Tim Wick. The Wick family donated the bench to honor Tim's service and dedication to the Shorewood community. He passed away in 2019.

Wick served as a Volunteer Auxiliary Police Officer from 1975 to 1992 for the Village. He also served two elected terms as Village Trustee from 1992 to 1998 chairing the Judiciary, Personnel and Licensing Committee, the Development and Long Range Planning Committee, the Streets and Buildings Committee, and the Police and Fire Commissions. Tim Wick was the business owner of Wick’s Beer and Liquor on 4496 N. Oakland Ave. from September 1983 to March 2012.

Trustee Arthur Ircink read a proclamation that the Village Board presented earlier in 2020 as family and friends were in attendance.

"The Village accepts this gift and thanks both Timothy D. Wick for his years of service to the Shorewood community as well as his family for their support and generosity," the proclamation concluded.
