Richard Bade Wejnert

I was shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Richie. Seems like it was just yesterday we were teammates at Saint Anthony`s High School in the mid-70`s. Richie was a tireless and relentless worker always pushing himself to get better and as a result he became a "PLAYER" ! HE was the glue of the "76" State Championship Team! Richie was a great teammate and friend on and off the court. My deepest condolences to his family, especially his brother Lou. He accomplished a lot in 57years...

Although being family, I only met Richard once. However, through his brother and other family members I heard a lot about him, especially his amazing basketball skills. Sending my love, prayers, and condolences To the entire family. Bill Bade

Karyn,
So sorry to hear of Rich's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time.

We are deeply saddened by your loss and will miss Rich dearly. The Blauer family.

I still remember the first game I coached against Rich - I looked over and saw this quite imposing figure at the other bench. His team gave my team quite the hello. Later on, got the know the family slightly better when Tayler attended my daughters high school and watched her play often. I was also able to catch Jordan play a few games before the family moved away. This was one dynamic basketball family. When I am refereeing high school games, I think of coaches like Rich who loved the game,...

Love and prayers to you, Karyn, and your family. Rich has a special place in Luke's heart for all he taught him about the game of basketball and life. We will continue to hold you all in our prayers. Rich will not be forgotten.

Dear Karyn and family,
So sorry to hear of Richie's passing....he was too young. We are thinking of you and we reflect on the night of our recent high school reunion and the laughs we had that night. So glad both of you were able to attend. We will keep you in our thought s and prayers.
