Rich was born in Forest Lake, Minnesota, the son of Paul and Lois.  He leaves Marcia, his beloved wife of 16 years; his children, Christie (Mont) Mitchell, Dave (Marcy), Brent (AnnElise), and Cheryl (Jason) Bentsen; Marcia’s children, Marla (Frank) Caballero, and Galen (Ann) Stilgebauer.  Rich had 14 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.  He was preceded in death by his first wife, Suzie.

Rich was an Eagle Scout, lived in the Northwest suburbs all of his adult life, and enjoyed a long and distinguished career with U.S. Customs.  Most importantly, he loved the Lord and lived a life of faithful service to God and others through his church, workplace, and neighborhood.  He is remembered as a devoted husband, caring father, fun-loving grandfather, and selfless friend.  Though he will be missed by many, we joyfully celebrate his heavenly homecoming.
