Richard Benedict Koch

Our first memories of the Koch family were when they built their home in 1971 and moved into our neighborhood of Pine Coulee. Dick and Dolores were
wonderful parents to each of their children; their oldest daughters
were excellent babysitters to our two children. All of the Koch Kids were highly
intelligent and did very well in their schooling years and throughout their lives. As each of the kids grew and left the "Koch nest", Dick could be seen either moving the grass on his rider or shoveling snow during our MN winters. (In later years, Dick and Dolores vacationed in warmer climates and skipped snow shoveling all together!) We were saddened to see the Kochs move from our neighborhood. Now it is time to wish Dick eternal life and Heaven's greatest reward! RIP Dick!
Hugs to all of the Koch family, especially Dolores!
