Jo and family
Ed and I were so sorry to hear of Dick’s passing. We were hoping to get together with you and Dick this summer along with Frank and Judy Jersch. We had such a nice chat with Dick and your daughter when she brought him down here. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. Sending you all hugs.
So sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of working at the car wash and the Keller family.
Dick was a good man and taught me the value of hard work.
Our deepest sympathy to you Tuba, Jeff, Kim, Tina and all your families. I loved his personality and the smirky smile and underneath laugh when others were just laughing out loud!! We have lots of great memories and wish we had more but the miles between us made it impossible. I can’t imagine the pain of missing him. I pray you have the peace & comfort that can only come from our Lord and Savior. Sending some big tight hugs full of love for you all.
Dear Jo and all your family, We are sending our love, hugs and prayers in the loss of a great man. May he rest in peace with no more pain. Jo, you & Dick always brought a special joy to my heart as you conquered the world together. Again, our love to all of your family. 💕
Hugs and love to Jo, Jeff, Kim, Tina and their families during this most difficult time, and always.
To Jo, Jeff, Kim and Tina we send our sincerest condolences on your loss of Dick. Dick was such a good man and a very hard
worker. We remember all the good, fun family get togethers we shared. We’re so sorry he suffered so much pain but are glad
he is now free from it all and resting in peace in a better place. Peace and prayers to you all. All our love, Shirley Gulvik and
family
I’m glad you’re out of pain and on to a better place. You helped me grow up and I was always grateful for the good times we got to share and to watch your family grow into wonderful people. Remember not to let them give you ‘DOROTHY’ up there ! Your legacy lives on with all your family and friends and I myself will miss you. We joked about the doorbell that would tell you to “GO AWAY”, I am thinking the doorbell you’re ringing now says “WELCOME HOME BROTHER”.
You are in my heart forever uncle Dick. Thank you for all of the wonderful memories of our many, many get togethers. Thank you for all the love and caring you and Jo showed me throughout my life. Please say “Hi” to mom when you see her, and tell her that I love her. Rest easy now. I love you always.
Richard always told me, when I retired he was going to leave also. I will forever miss his sassy attitude. But he is no longer in pain. My heart goes out to all of his dear family, Josephine, Jeff, Kim and Tina. Your husband and father will truly be missed. Big hug to you all.
My deepest sympathy and hugs to Kim and all of you.
I am so sorry to hear of his passing. He’s with a great group of card players and having a great time with no pain. My deepest sympathies, Deb Ziegler
Hi Josephine, Kim and family. Richard will be missed terribly, but he is no longer having the pain. Bless his sole. We all became like family as we all do in dialysis. We send our prayers to you all. May Richard rest in peace.
I have fond memories of Uncle Richard from my first job at the Octopus Car Wash in Madison to attending Packers games and listening to 50’s/60’s music with him and Aunt Josephine at a local pub in Green Bay. Kathy and I want to extend our sincere condolences to Jo, Jeff, Kimberly, and Tina and all who mourn his passing.
A pleasure to have met Richard and care for him in Dialysis. Going to miss him. Fly high Richard.
