Dear Deb & Kate,
We had not kept in touch very well through the years, but we saw Dick at the NC Classic in Kearney in 2005. He was the same fun guy that we remembered from the years of playing on the same softball team in Broken Bow. I was pitcher and Dick played 2nd base. We had a great team and lots of fun. Deb won the state "beef cook-off" while in Broken Bow, and shared her winning work with us at Weissert Grange.
What special people! Dick certainly went "before his time" and we are so sorry for your (and our) loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Arends Family,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you during this time. Thank you Dave, for getting us acquainted with your brother, Dick. Although our time with him was limited, it didn't take long for us to know, he was a special person and truly wanted to help us enjoy our new pond by helping establish a wonderful wildlife habitat. We will certainly miss him, but know he is now resting peacefully.

Deb and "Kat": I just found a picture the other day of Christopher and "Katie" sitting on the porch swing of your house across the street from St. Joh's. What great times those were with lots of running back and forth across the street and down the alley to sample this or that from our kitchens. And then Dick handed over all those rakes for wine racks when he cleaned out the garage--without telling you--and you saw them hanging in the rectory kitchen. What fun we had being neighbors. Dick's passing took us by surprise because it's been some time since we visited in the kitchen of your Lincoln house. Do know our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.

Deb and daughter, We are very saddeded to learn of Dick's illness and passing. Dick always had a smile, word of encouragement and bit of wit along with his knowledge when I walked back to his office. He was a friend to all and loved by many. It was a pleasure to know Dick and do business with him in the past few years. Our deepest sympathy.

Deb and daughter, George Bernard Shaw quoted Dick's outlook on life the best, "Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splended torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as blightly as possible before handing it on to future generations." Our deepest sympathy.

Deb and Kat,
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Dick's warmth of personality and humor will be missed by many. His ability to strike up a conversation with anyone at anytime - displayed his gift of never knowing a stranger. I always admired that innate ability in Dick during our years of working together at NDA, and particularly during our endless hours in the booths at the Denver Stock Show.
All our best,
Chris and Kathy Buechle

Dick will be in our hearts and memories forever. What a neat guy! We'll always remember the "trip through the corn field" to get to a party, just because we missed the turnoff. He was always a guy looking for a fun time!
