Richard L. Riegsecker

Message from Neal Kauffman

I worked for Richard starting at age 16 at Forecraft (1968) in the old building. He was a great leader, a Christian who lived his faith daily, and a generous man who extended an employment opportunity to a youngster like me to earn money for Hesston College for two summers. I also worked for Jake at HerMars at age 15 and that was a great experience too. I will never forget his quiet demeanor and sense of humor while being an example for me of a business man with high integrity and intelligence. He will be missed by all but not forgotten by anyone who knew him. I am proud to call him a first cousin

Message from Rick Rufenacht

Betty and family,
Please accept my sincere condolences at the loss of Richard. What a great man he was indeed! I always admired him. He was a man of deep and sincere faith, he knew and lived the Word of God, and he wore his relationship with Jesus on his sleeve so that everyone could notice. I loved his sense of humor and he always made me feel significant when we connected. Truly he was a man to be admired and emulated. He has now finished the race with dignity and has heard the Lord say - "Well done my good and faithful servant." May God give you strength and much grace at Richard's passing.

Message from Jully Louis

My heart hurts. Richard was such a sweetie. Betty and him always had an open heart. I know he is fixing up his wood workshop to do some projects with Jesus and i look forward to joining them some day. Best lesson Richard ever taught me was the lesson of the porkchop. There is always enough for one more, a lesson I try to apply today. Luv u Richard!
