August 1, 1917 - September 13, 2007

Chaplain Don Storey from Houston Hospice officiated. Burial followed in the Friedens United Church of Christ Cemetery. Pallbearers were his grandsons and other family members: Toby Warncke, Chad Nesvadba, Alex Warncke, Brian Nesvadba, Matt Weber and Clifford Roehe.

Hugo Otto Requardt was born the youngest of nine siblings on August 1, 1917, in Rosenberg Texas, to Henry, Sr. and Anna Requardt. He passed away Thursday, September 13, 2007 at SPJST Rest Home in Needville.
He served in the U.S. Army Air Corp during WWII from 1942 to 1945. On November 17, 1945, he married the love of his life, Erna Mae Tiemann. He loved his family, and there was always a celebration of some type every week of the year. He enjoyed visiting with his nieces, nephews and in-laws (and as he would say sometimes, "the out-laws"). After he purchased a travel trailer, he and Erna Mae spent time traveling to Somerville and sometimes down to the Valley. Their travels allowed them to make many new friends, some from the northern states. Upon retirement from the Highway Department in 1982, his favorite things to do were polka dancing on the weekend and playing Bingo every night of the week. After his wife passed away, he enjoyed eating with his extended family, Ronnie and Kathy, and the regulars at Schulze's Family Restaurant.
He was a life member of the American Legion Post 350, serving as commander and other officer positions. He was a lifelong member of Friedens United Church of Christ and attended almost every Sunday until he could no longer drive. He served on the church council and in many other capacities. He was most proud of being able to say that he was born and lived in the same place all of his life.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife of 49 years and 11 months, Erna Mae Tiemann Requardt; brothers: Henry, Jr., John and Rudolph; sisters: Lena Ellermann, Minnie Hacker, Annie Oberhoff, Freda Kowis, Elsie Oberhoff Straznicky; and great grandchild, Owen Nesvadba.
He is survived by daughters Arlene Nesvadba and husband, Dennis; and Shirley Warncke and husband, Warren; five grandchildren: Toby Warncke and wife, Heather; Chad Nesvadba and wife, Deanna; Alex Warncke and wife, Nikki; Brian Nesvadba and wife, Shana; and Kelli Weber and husband, Matt; eight great grandchildren: Brianna Nesvadba, Rylan Warncke; Bryce Nesvadba, Clayton Nesvadba, Alexis Warncke, Austin Warncke, Tye Warncke and Brylie Nesvadba; sisters-in-law: Gladys Pape, Dorothy Tiemann; brothers-in-law: Elton Tiemann and Otto Tiemann and many nieces, nephews and extended family.
Memorial gifts may be made to Friedens United Church of Christ, 7526 Avenue I, Beasley, TX 77417 or to Houston Hospice, P.O. Box 1417, El Campo, TX 77437.
Special thanks to the Houston (El Campo) Hospice and the SPJST Nursing Home staff for the care they provided and for special words in our time of need. We also wish to thank the caregivers in his home, Charlotte Rhemann and Lydia Gallegos, for helping him stay in his own home as long as he could.
