Richard was employed as a starch cook in the coating department at the Nekoosa paper mill for 36 years.
He served as a ministerial servant for Jehovah's Witness for many years. Richard had a great sense of humor and always had a good joke. He was a kind and generous man who not only had love for his immediate family but dearly cared about his extended and spiritual families.

He was preceded in death by his parents, brother Don, and sister Theresa.

Dear Ewert family,
For many days, I tried to write this, but I could not. I cannot find the right words to express my sorrow and I got too emotional. Uncle Rick, I am so sorry that you have to go. I will miss you very much. We love you very much.

Dear Hazel, Don't know if you remember me from so many years ago when we worked at Woolco. When I read that Richard had passed, the image of your smiling face and dark hair immediately came to me, and my heart was happy thinking of all the good times our Woolco family had together. I am sorry for your loss Hazel, and I hope your life has been good. An old friend, Gail Phillips-Lasecke
