Publish in a newspaper
Rich was born on July 9, 1958 in West Bend where he lived throughout his life. He worked most of his adult life as local truck driver and took great pride in his strong work ethic.
Rich is survived by his sons: Alan (Brittney) and Jason; his daughter Katie (Fiancé Spencer Daul); his grandchildren: Skyler, Bryce, Camryn, Penelope, and Adlee. He is also survived by his siblings, Kathie Lofy (Greg), Michael (Sharon), Mark (Lauria) and Meg Mucha (Bob) as well as his nephews, niece, cousins and many other loved ones.
He was preceded in death by his parents Edward and Mary (Faber).
Rich enjoyed helping his family and friends in anyway he could. Even through all of his medical adversity, Rich always had high spirits, happiness, and treated everybody with respect. We will miss his quick witted humor, laugh and smile.
He was a talented handy man who could build or fix anything. Rich enjoyed spending time with friends, going up north, classic cars and listening to music. Most of all, he treasured his time spent with his children and grandchildren who cherished him dearly.
His family will greet relatives and friends on Saturday, 12/02/23 at the Schmidt Funeral Home, West Bend.
Visitation will be held from 10:00am-12 noon with funeral services to follow. The Burial will be at approximately 1:00pm at Washington County Memorial Park.
