We believe the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, Romans 6:23. Rich had an adventurous spirit of joy and enjoyed creating experiences of “togetherness” with family and friends. He was committed to celebrating & honoring people, especially each child, grandchild, and his wife. It gave him great pleasure to challenge us all by creating opportunities golfing, boating, poolside, skiing, traveling, and sharing dinners out! Rich taught us all “Love is something you build!” A Christian Family Service of God’s Word will be held at Messiah Lutheran Church, Forest Lake and Interment at Fort Snelling National Cemetery in Minneapolis will be held at a later date to celebrate Rich’s life.
