Richard George Kopf

I'm sorry to hear of Rich's passing, I served he and his wife Joan for many years as what I would like to think was one of his favorite places, Hi-Way Diner, I have run into the both of them several times since my career ended there, they have always been so gracious, the world will miss you Rich!

With boundless love and sympathy, we hold Richard´s family in our hearts.

As former editor of the Omaha Daily Record, I had the pleasure of working with Judge Knopf on numerous occasions. Not only was he a fine jurist, he was a warm, funny and kind person. Sometimes hilarious! He was also a talented writer with a sharp wit who marched to his own drummer. I admired him but I liked him more. The legal community is better for his service. I am better for his acquaintance. My sympathies to his loved ones.

We met Richard in both Verdella's and his first year of marriage, as was ours. Verdella and Perk taught together and Dennis and Richard were in the same car pool to UN-L. We had limited and low key relationship as couples; yet he was loved and respected by all who met him. God Bless, Richard.
