My deepest sympathy to the Hansmann family. I was a co-worker with Rich in the Risk Management Department at Ralston Purina. Our group shared a wonderful comraderie, and Rich’s quick wit and storytelling finesse added to the many treasured memories I have of those years. His love for his family was so very evident. May you have peace and comfort during this difficult time. R.I. P. Rich.

I'll never forget the times he drove me to soccer practice. Our conversations in the car were always so entertaining, and he had a way of making even a simple drive feel like an adventure. But what I cherished most were the family dinners at your house. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hansmann always made me feel like one of...
