One new death reported
On Dec. 21, Joseph Bernhardt Nosalik, a 77-year-old Marine who is also a retired Racine Police officer, retired nurse and had been diagnosed with Parkinsonâs and Lewy body dementia, died after contracting COVID-19 while living at the facility, said Nosalikâs wife, Sue Nosalik.
That death hasnât been publicly noted by the state Department of Veterans Affairs, Sue Nosalik said.
The DVA âdidnât acknowledge his death in either one of the COVID updates,â she said. For the notices âto not even acknowledge him,â Sue Nosalik said, âthat was hurtful, and not truthful .
