My thoughts and prayers to Marilyn and her family. I met Richard a few times, but Marilyn, you were my first elementary teacher and the best. Thinking of you! ??????

My deepest sympathy to the Knobbe family. Richard was one of the sweetest and funniest men I’ve ever had the privilege to know. I’ll never forget the day he introduced me to the farm and a combine — he turned even the simplest moments into memories worth keeping. Noran thank you for sharing your Dad, your Parents, with your Friends. Your family is in all my best NE memories. As I reflect on this moment, the world feels a little less shiny without him in it. But if angels truly walk among us, we were blessed that Richard walked among us for 95 beautiful years. His kindness, humor, and gentle spirit will stay with all of us who were lucky enough to know him. Wishing you comfort, peace, and the warmest memories that make your heart smile in the days ahead. The Knobbe Family, all of you, are Richard’s amazing legacy!
