Richard L. Kreitzburg

It is with a blend of sorrow and celebration that we announce the passing of Richard Kreitzburg, a devoted father and cherished husband. A proud Vietnam War veteran, Richard served with honor and courage, and later dedicated himself to protecting his community as both a police officer and a firefighter. Those who had the privilege to listen to his stories from his service years were often captivated, finding a rare combination of wisdom and insight that made his experiences unforgettable.
Richard was not just a man of action; he was a passionate history buff with a remarkable ability to share facts without the help of Google. His enthusiasm for the Wild West and other historical periods sparked many enlightening discussions, allowing friends and family to learn something new each time they gathered.
In addition to his love for history, Richard had a flair for storytelling. He delighted in crafting tales of detectives and adventures, infusing them with historical elements that captured the imagination of those fortunate enough to read them. His legacy of sharing knowledge, laughter, and compelling narratives will certainly live on in the hearts and minds of all who knew him.
Richard Kreitzburg's spirit and stories will be deeply missed, but the memories he created will always shine brightly in our lives.
A celebration of Richard's life will be held on a later date. Cremation by Busch Crematory.
