An avid card player, Rich was always happiest when staying active or engaging in friendly competition. He could often be found at the local lanes aiming for a perfect strike in bowling or out on the green enjoying a round of golf. When he wasn't playing sports, he was likely sitting at a table with family and friends, dealing a hand of euchre and enjoying the company.
Beloved husband of Linda, together for 42 years. Proud uncle to Mike (Jackie), who was truly more like a father to him. Dearest uncle of Kristy, Tina, Audrey, Carie and Amanda.

Dear brother of Bill (Jeanette) and Patty (Jim) and brother-in-law of Terri and Gayle. Dear stepson of Joan Bartsch. He is also survived by his step-siblings Mary Sue, Kathy, Dan and Greg, along with their extended families. He will also be missed by his two loyal dogs, Charlie and Luke.
