I am shocked as I just learned. I am so sad as Dr Weisbecker "Rich" was such a down to earth friendly outgoing guy. Rich was my my neighbor at the Riverwood for a couple of yrs. He also helped with the oral surgery on my step- daughter, & would take time to answer her questions at appointments making sure she was at ease. My prayers to his family. May he rest in peace. He will be greatly missed!

I was shocked to see this when I went to look up something on the oral surgeons web site. Dr Weisbecker did wonderful surgery for our daughter Jade this Summer as she is a cleft child. Our thoughts and prayers go to the family.

Dr. Weisbecker cared for me for many years. He was also my friend as he carefully treated me multiple times for pre-oral cancer problems. I just learned of his passing. My sympathy goes out to his family and his medical staff.

Julia, My heart goes out to you at this very sad time. I know what a wonderful relationship you had with Rich and what a special man he was. Perhaps all who knew him well and shared some of his pain were enriched and inspired by his courageous struggle. There was heroism in his quiet acceptance and your loving care.
My love to you and best wishes for strength. Susu

The Emergency Dept. staff at Childrens Hospital in St Paul was so very saddened to read of Dr. Weisbecker's death. He will be remembered by all of us as a true gentleman and a wonderful physician.

He always responded to our calls with a gracious willingness to help the children in the ED. Many of those calls were made in the middle of the night and he not only came in, but was wonderful with staff, parents and most importantly, the children.

Your family is in our hearts and prayers, he will be greatly missed.

My husband and I both had occasion to visit Dr. Weisbecker for emergency oral surgery. What could have been a traumatic event was "survivable" because of Dr. Weisbecker's kind and compassionate care. Thank you Dr. Weisbecker. Jack and Linda Brewer
