Richard was born on July 3, 1951 in Duluth, MN and grew up in the small community of Floodwood, MN. He was the youngest of two siblings and received his college degree from Moorhead State University. Shortly after he graduated, he married Donna Carlson on September 3, 1977. His proudest moments in life were when his two boys, Grant and Garrett were born.


Richard had a lifelong career in the insurance industry and had many stories to share about his work adventures. His dedication to work never superseded his support for his family. Dick was always supportive of family events and being there for those who needed him most.


Joy came from spending time with friends and family. Holidays were his favorite, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas. He enjoyed watching and participating in sports with his two sons and playing cribbage with those close to him. He also enjoyed cooking, bowling, being a Stephen Minister, ushering at church, and watching the Twins and Vikings.


Richard is proceeded in death by his father, Oliver, and mother, Ruby Handel. He is survived by his wife, Donna, his two boys Grant and Garrett (Lasandra), granddaughter Harper, sister Barbara, and nephew Matthew (Diane).


Visitation will be at Heritage Funeral Home on 57th and Minnesota on Thursday, October 29 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and the funeral at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church on Friday, October 30th at 1 p.m. Attendees are requested to wear masks and practice social distancing.


In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Our Savior’s Stephen Ministries or Our Savior’s Lutheran Church Foundation.


A private interment will occur in the spring in Floodwood, MN at Forest Hill Cemetery.

Not sure what to say?

To Donna, Grant, Garrett and Lasandra,
We share in your deep sadness at Dick’s passing. There is a big empty spot in the Wilson-Barth-Sietstra family. Gone is the quiet, comfortable, reliable and kind presence of Dick. After 30 years as friends, Dick was more a brother than friend, especially to Phil. Playing cribbage was an excuse to enjoy each other’s company and an opportunity to share mutual concerns about our friends, our world, and our families. He was a loyal friend, amazingly...

So sorry to hear of Dick's passing. Be assured of my prayers for you and your family during this difficult time. May God surround you with His love and support.

Garret, my thoughts, and prayers are being sent to surround you and your family. Hugs to you all!

Garret and family, I was so sorry to hear of this loss. You are in my prayers during this challenging time. Hoping that the days ahead will be peaceful and full of love from friends and family.

Donna, I am so sorry to hear of your husband's passing. I only met him once at McKennan Park, but knowing he was married to you, I'm sure he was a special person! May you feel God's comfort during this difficult time!

Pal Donna, Grant, Garrett - sending love and hugs as you journey through this loss!! Peace to all!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

Thoughts and prayers Garrett and family. I'm so sorry! God Bless you! Jeanne Hassel

Donna and boys. Sending you our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May God's comfort and peace carry you during this time. Kim and Yvonne Otten
