UNDATED (AP) -- Two Marine reservists killed by the same roadside bomb in Iraq are being remembered by mourners at their funerals Thursday.
Services for Lance Corporal Dean Opicka of Waukesha are in Luxemburg, where he graduated from Luxemburg-Casco High School in 1997. The 29-year-old Opicka was a graduate of Carroll College in Waukesha and had been teaching in the Milwaukee area before being deployed to Iraq.
His funeral is being held at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Luxemburg.
The funeral for 23-year-old Corporal Richard Nelson of Kenosha is at First Assembly of God in Kenosha.
The family has started a scholarship fund in Nelson's name through Christian Life School, where he graduated in 2003.
Friends and relatives shared memories when visitations were held for the two men Wednesday evening. Both men died in the same roadside bomb blast last week.
