Richard Horan

I just found this obituary today but felt like I needed to share my thoughts. Dick is one of the first people that I remember meeting outside of our immediate family. He was my father´s (Dick Kuban) best friend, and my father always referred to him that way until the day he died. Some of my fondest memories are associated with a fishing trip that the three of us took in Michigan. He was one of the kindest, gentlest men that I ever knew. I had intended to make the trip from Ohio to go see him...

I first meant Richard when I joined the senior tennis league upon retirement. He was one who welcomed me with open arms. Being veterans we had an instant connection and he was always up and never had a harsh word about anyone. We bonded and became fast friends. He was always a loyal friend who will never be replaced. My heart is very heavy tonight.

Richard was one of the best men I ever met. I was very lucky to be friends with him and his wife Nancy.

Enjoyed many great times with Dick fishing and having fun, well miss him very much his friends Jim and Joanne Smith

My memories of Richard go back to my very first day at Zero Zone, Inc., in North Prairie, WI., (March 27, 2000). Richard has been a friend, mentor and roll model to me; for my work-life, but more importantly for my personal life, ever since. While our geographic proximity may have kept us from seeing each other on a regular basis, our friendship was close. He and I have spoken nearly once a week for the past 15-plus years as our lives evolved through many changes and challenges. I always...
