Richard LOEFFLER Obituary

Of St. Paul, MN Dick passed away on December 28, 2022 from Parkinson's at 81. He will be deeply missed by Barbara, his wife of 58 years and love of his life, as well as daughters Christine (Bill) and Tracie (John), his grandson Rory, siblings Gloria (Jim), Wayne, and Bonnie, and many others whose lives he touched. He is preceded in death by his sister Beverly and beloved shihtzus Buddy and Bailey. Dick took great pride in his vegetable garden and loved putzing in the yard, fishing on his boat, playing cribbage, watching the Vikings and the Twins, and spending time with his grandson. He was a proud Navy veteran and an incredibly generous soul. Celebration of Life and interment at Fort Snelling will be held in early June.

Aunt Barb, Christine, Tracie, John and Rory... you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Uncle Dick will be missed but memories of him will remain with us forever. He was the best story teller and had a great sense of humor.

His smile was infectious, just like in this photo. (Love that he was wearing his Anchor Bar shirt in it).

I will miss him calling me "Jackson" and ribbing me about the Bills and Vikings.

One thing for sure is that Dick was a very kind soul and he would do anything for anyone, but most of all he loved you guys so very much!

I remember Dick as someone who was so welcoming to the Irish visitor! He was always smiling and was great company- nothing was too much trouble.

You all must be so proud of him.

So sorry for your loss- we are thinking of you at this difficult time.

As John's sister, I have such lovely memories of Dick from my visits from Ireland to spend time with John, Tracie and Rory and the wider family. Dick was always so generous with his time, taking us places, bringing us out on his boat and just hanging out... he was great company, always up-beat, thoughtful and fun to be with. Barbara, Tracie, John, Rory and all the family, I know you will miss him dearly - thinking of you all at this sad time.
