Richard L. Schuett

My condolences to the Schuett family on the loss of Ric. He was a great person, who served his community, and our State & Nation well - as both a Soldier and Law Enforcement Officer. I met Ric when he was a TAC Officer (maybe Senior TAC?) at the Iowa Military Academy back in late 1980s. He had a voice that you could hear all over Central Iowa, and he was quite comfortable booming that voice in every nook and cranny of the Academy. He was a lot of fun to be around, was a great storyteller, and...

Denise and family, My deepest sympathies to all of you. I enjoyed meeting you last March when I was with Tim and Vicki. We had a lot of laughs and I love meeting Tim and Vicki’s friends and I know why they are close to you after spending a couple days with you and Ric. The love you two had for each other was priceless and so obvious. My heart goes out to you during this difficult time so hold the loving memories close to your heart. Hopefully I’ll see you soon. My prayers are with...

Ric was one of the sweetest people I have known. He will be deeply missed. I am sure at our class reunion this year, his name will be mentioned a few times.

Neal, Evie, Owen, Mrs Schuett, and all the members of the Schuett family,
My heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your Dad, “Papa” and best friend. I know 69 years was not enough for you, but as long as you remember him, he lives on through you. He lived a life of service to others, and for that, so many that you have never even met are grateful he was there for them. You are all in my prayers as you grieve this loss and celebrate his life.

Ric and I worked together several times in various assignments while we were on The D.M.P.D. I always admired Ric for his dedication to his career choices -both his law enforcement and military careers. He was devoted to both and a proud member and great representative of both endeavors.
Ric was great to work with, he was a "team player." His sense of humor was a great tool he used well. He could always bet he would supply you with a laugh.
To Denise, Neal and Tim and the rest...
