Words will never be able to express how sorry I am for your loss. Rich was my Best friend and my brother. We did everything together; nothing will ever be able to fill the void that we all feel right now. The thing that will help us all is to pass down all the wonderful memories and story’s that we were blessed to have shared with him. Love ya Miss ya. Jonnie

Rich, from a "dickens" of a little boy you grew up into a well loved man who contributed to the lives of all you came in contact with. What a legacy! Jackie, Jean and Cindy our prayers are with you.

We read all the wonderful comments about Richard. He sounds like he was a great person. Wish we could have spent more time with him when he was growing up and when he was a young adult. Losing him was a big loss for the whole family.

Jackie, Tina, family, and friends: Working in the same small office with Dex was a special experience. He loved jokes, and loved people. If he was ever stumped by a problem, he didn't give up, but found a solution. Every day I remember him.

Jackie, Cindy and Jean,
No words can describe how much my family loved Richie. He was one of a kind and everyone who came in conatact with him loved him. He could make you smile on your darkest of days and hug the tears away. We are truly blessed to have been able to share many years with him.
May God shine on you all to help you through this hard time.
God Bless.

Richie- we love and miss you now and forever
Tina, McKayla, and Jerred Weidner

Richie,
You were so much more to us than just a roommate for the last 5 years. I wanted you to know that "I am Loaded" and you are "costing us a small fortune". You know we love you and there is no way to fill the void you left. There is now only silence in your room and I wish I could hear you play Freebird just one more time...

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
cause theres too many places Ive got to see!

signed
Your Roomates, your Friends and your Omaha Family

When I think of Rich I will always smile...he treated everyone in a manner that let them know that they mattered. I enjoy recalling his quirky sense of humor that was and is unmatched. I am grateful to have been one of his acquaintances, even though it was for too short a time.

Rich, Glad to know you. You always went out of your way to help someone, even if it was more personal than business related. Esp. that ole raunchy computer of mine that you helped fix. You were one of my best radio listeners. I gave you a "shout out" on Sunday Night KFAB Radio. You will be missed but never forgotten. Jim Loberg
