Richard Bebo Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Rich graduated from Menominee High School and served in the US Army in Korea. He enjoyed woodworking and hunting, but most of all he loved being Santa for over 35 years. He was an amazing Santa who loved to spread the magic of Christmas to everyone he met. While Rich was Santa, his wife, Virginia, was Mrs. Claus. They spread cheer locally for families and businesses, as well as going to England. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.
Rich married Virginia Sebero on January 18, 1969. They spent 54 years together before her passing on October 8, 2023.
Rich is survived by his sister, Debby Bebo. He was preceded in death by his wife, Virginia; parents, Anna and Wesley Bebo; a sister, Mary Murry; brothers, Joseph, Leo (Bucky), Allen (Ding), Ken, Gerry and Tom; as well as his beloved dog, Ellie who passed away one day prior to Rich's passing.
Per Rich's wishes no funeral service will be held.
The best brother ever. Love you to the moon and back.

Good bye, Uncle Richie, I'm saddened that we were unable to get together before you left to see me assume my place as a professional Santa also. God bless you, until Valhalla...HUAA!
