Dear Linda Jeske and family, My deepest sympathy goes out to you on losing your husband and father! Please take comfort in your memories of him. Linda, I remember your stories about his hunting and fishing, especially about how one dresses to hunt wild turkeys! I would have sent a card , but don't know whether you are still at the same address on 22nd Place. We moved but are still in the city in a condo near Pius High School. My number is: 414-324-3731. Maybe we can get together when the pandemic ends or at least talk sometime. !

I would like to extend my condolences to your family for your loss. Thinking of Rick brought back so many memories of growing up together on S.17th St. Rick was one of my best childhood friends and our summer days were filled with fishing at Wilson Park, baseball at Holt Playground and generally goofing around being kids. I am sorry to hear of his passing. Rest in Peace, Rick

So sorry for your loss. Way to soon for someone that lived life so large. Rich always took care of our electrical work in Duplcating. Even wired our cabin in Ferryville Wi. Spending that week with Rich gave me a chance to know him outside of the work environment. Rest in peace my friend.
Sincerely,
Paul Kobza

Linda, I am so sorry to hear about Rich. Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. I do remember his smile and his sense of humor and his love for fishing and building his up north home. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
