Richard was born April 25, 1960, in Racine, Wisconsin to Eugene and Gloria (Osborne) Bisher.  He graduated from JI Case High School, Racine in 1978. Rick later enlisted in the United States Army  and then joined the Wisconsin National Guard when he finished his enlistment. He served a total of 24 years before being honorably discharged on January 6th of 2003. 

Rick married Lillie J. Thurber (Strike) in October of 1986 and together they raised two children.  They spent 37 years together.

Rick was employed by TriEnda in Portage for 34 years as an operator.  He made a lovely home in Wis. Dells with the help of his father (Al).  He was so proud of his work, home, and family.  He was especially proud of the three beautiful granddaughters he was blessed with. He was a lover of decorating Holiday Cookies with his grandkids and putting up Christmas lights. Every year he would put up more & more.  One year 34,000 went up!  

In his spare time Rick loved to go camping & traveling throughout the U.S. with Lillie.  He enjoyed watching car racing & demos, and of course Pepsi.  Rick also loved going to the property him and Lillie had up north and riding four-wheelers.

Richard was preceded in death by his father, Eugene S. Bisher, grandparents, and sister-in-law Lila.   

Survivors include his wife of 37 years Lillie; children: Dennis (LaVonne) Thurber of Arkdale, WI; Donna (Tim) Thompson of Lyndon Station, WI; parents: Gloria and Alfred Ciskowski of Lake Delton, WI; siblings: Eugene (Tina Nodolf) of Portage; Kim (Glenn) Miller of Henagar Alabama; Steven (Laura) Bisher of Burlington, WI; step-siblings: Dennis (Karen) Ciskowski of Kenosha, Donna Binger of Kenosha, David Ciskowski of Aurora, IL, and his girls: granddaughters Cammie Thompson, Kira Thurber, and Kayla Thurber and many loved nieces and nephews.
