Mukwonago School board member Vito Schwartz has died

The Mukwonago Area School District said in a statement Saturday that Vito Schwartz died Friday. He leaves behind four children, all of whom are Mukwonago High School graduates or current students, the district said in its statement.

“Vito has been a vocal supporter of our district,” Joe Koch, superintendent of the Mukwonago Area School District, said in the district’s statement. “In addition to his work on our school board, Vito was active in the community as co-owner of Semper Fi Roofing and a proud Marine Corps veteran. We will miss him very much. We are a strong community and will cope with the loss of Vito together. ”

It is currently unclear whether Schwartz's death is related to information contained in a press release the Mukwonago City Police Department sent to the Journal Sentinel.
