Not sure what to say?

Rich was a wonderful person to everybody. His passing is heartbreaking. I could giggle with him. We had good times. I will miss him so much. I love my brother and I know he loved me.

I am so sorry for your loss. Rich hired me when I was 15, 42 years ago, and I have never forgotten him and his kindness over the years.

My condolences to the family. I never met Richard, but upon moving back to Omaha from MN(where I always praised the Runza sandwich!) the first meal I had was a Runza sandwich! I appreciate the legacy he and his mother left behind.

I met Rich on the golf course (like so many others) which led to 10 years of great competition, loads of fun (a few beers/drinks) & countless unforgettable memories. I thank him for all of that, not to mention introducing me to numerous other "characters "-lucky, coach, Doc, brownie, greenie, Dave, big Bob, Jimmie Mac & many more!! I´ m sure Rich is right now making a foursome with Arnie, Payne & Bobby Jones (Rich will have to give them strokes)! Thanks, Rich!

Brother "Butch" will be missed by so many friends and family members in Lincoln & Omaha. A quiet, generous man who loved traveling with Karen, who expanded horizons beyond Kids, Golf, Love of Pets, Cornhuskers and Runza, his lifelong work, from childhood to death. A humble, bright, man, unafraid of hard work. Easy to Love. Nieces & Nephews, in laws, all were friends.
