Funeral services are being held Saturday for Fond du Lac County executive Al Buechel who died last weekend from an apparent heart attack. Visitation will be held from 3pm to 7p Friday and from 9am to 10:30am Saturday at Holy Family Catholic Church, followed by funeral services at 11am. Buechel died Sunday afternoon after suffering a heart attack the night before. He was 74 years old. Meanwhile, the Fond du Lac County Board is meeting in special session Wednesday evening to call for a special election to be held June 7. The winner would fill the remainder of the term through 2025. If there are at least three candidates a primary election would be held in May. Governor Tony Evers on Tuesday ordered flags in Fond du Lac County to be flown at half staff in honor of Buechel.
