Detlef Joachim Golleck December 12, 1941-June 11, 2023 In loving memory of Detlef Joachim Golleck, who went to be with the Lord June 11, 2023. He was 81 years old. Detlef was born on December 12, 1941 to Herbert and Hildegard Read Obituary
My dad was the hardest worker I ever met. Many times he came home from work and could barely stand he was so tired. He also introduced me to the sport of soccer. Hailing from Germany he was so proud of me and never missed a game of mine. We enjoyed watching boxing and Nascar on television, while going to hockey games at the old Coliseum. Later on he loved cooking bar-b-que for my two daughters and my wife. His bbq was one of a kind and totally delicious. Rest in peace Papa! You deserve it! I love you!
Detlef was my brother-in-law and I have fond memories of him as I spent summers at their house when I was younger. He was always cooking something no matter if it was a holiday or not. When he worked at the Bismark restaurant in Houston he got me a job as a bus boy. I remember watching him at work in the busy kitchen with pots and pans banging and ordering the waiters around. We had a common bond of working in the meat industry in our later years as he worked for some friends of mine. He worked with them a long time as I ended up venturing into other areas. He was a hard worker, a great husband and father and an overall great person and will be dearly missed.
We have known Detlev and Barbara for many years. They own property across from ours. They are such a sweet couple and good friends. Detlev was very proud of his German heritage and enjoyed sharing his memories ad experiences from his travels. He loved mowing and doing yard work while listening to his country music. We will miss our visits with them and we are praying for Barbara and their family. The Hensarlings
