Richard David Landsberg

Those of us who worked with Rich still make references to his "Richisms" and his stories. I was blessed to know him for the five years we worked together. Since we were both from central Iowa and close in age, we realized that we´d been at some of the same events but never met. I had to move to Columbus for us to become friends. Being newly retired, I´m redoing my home office and sorting through things. Yesterday I came a cross these two photos. One is the infamous "Dr. Lucky" and the other...

No amount of time could erase my experience as a friend with Rich. Even today in 2024, I still miss Rich badly, still want to pick up the phone and call to laugh about something, still want to hear his stories of DC, Dr Lucky and golf. Rich was a terrific friend and I sure miss him to this day. I didn´t just work with Rich, he was a great friend. It is incredibly difficult to believe he has been gone ten years. So many memories.

Steve & I can´t believe it´s been 10 years since Rich passed. He is dearly missed!

Cannot believe it has been 10 years. His larger than life presence still brings a smile. You are so missed.

In addition, Rich´s Dad, Earl, was a great trumpet player and played with the Holiday On Ice in1954. That is where his parents met. Marge and I followed them around the local area that season.

Rich’s mother Marge was my best friend for many years in Sioux City. She was a bridesmaid at my wedding in May of 1955. If this gets to any of the family please contact me. I have several pictures of Richie as a child that I would love to give to a family member. Adalynn James. 740-601-2012. I live in Circleville, Ohio. I am 85 years old. I wish I had got to see Rich before he passed. My deepest sympathies to his family.

Its hard to imagine Rich has been gone this long. His laugh still rings, in my memory, with his parents and mine. So many acts of my childhood with Landsbergs in starring roles.
