Richard Lange Obituary

Dad,

Well it's been 1 yrs since your passing and you have been missed very very much.

Love, Jeff
(Son in law)

Now who am I going to have to argue with as to whether or not microwave ovens are useless and computers just "no good?" To say we're all going to miss Rich is such a gross understatement. So many memories packed into the forty-four years we've all been a "family" up at Ford lake. A whole lot of history will forever contect the Freeburg and Lange families. I'll forever miss your mom and I already dread the thought of going up North and not having your dad's smiling face there to greet me. My love is always with you.

Dear Cyndi,Jeff,Rich,Karen and Family We are so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. What a wonderful man he was, he was always so nice to us when we saw him at your house or at Hollywood.I'm sorry that I didn't get a chance to see him more than I did. I know he is loved and missed by everyone he's touched. May God Bless You All.
Sincerely, Lou & Pat Wahl

Cyndi and Rich,

Your dad was a good friend and neighbor to myself and my family for over 55 years.

I spent many an evening talking with him about the old days in La Grange and the events of the day.

I will miss him very much. My sincere condolences to your families.

Dear Cyndi and Rich,

Your father loved you two as much as it is possible to love anyone. He was a wonderful man and will live on in my mind and heart forever as a wonderful man. As Brett said, "He is now with his forever love".

God Bless You Always,
Kathy, Brett and Ebony Clements

I was saddened to learn of Rich's passing. Seeing him at Hollywood Motors was always a pleasant experience. He was a warm and friendly man. The world is a lesser place without his presence.

It was always wonderful to see Rich when we went to the cottage. He was definitely a fixture up there. Always had lots to share and always cared about our concerns and life. We will miss him a lot! Karen, Tim, Megan, Matthew, Bryan, Kevin and Kaela Brickey (Don't forget our 2 dogs loved him too!)

To the Lange and Wahl Families,
We loved our next-door neighbor very much. He always spoke so lovingly about his children and grandchildren. We always looked forward to his return from "up North". We will miss Rich greatly. Our prayers are with you.

Cyndi, Jeff, Josh and Brad. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember Rich as always smiling and cheerful. Have many memories of "The Chief" at Hollywood, he was a pleasure to work with and be around. My prayers are with you and your family.

Rich left a lasting impression on the La Grange Police Department because of his humor, ability to laugh, his caring nature, and his dedication to the community he served.

Dear Rich, Karen, Cyndi, Jeff, Josh, Bradley, Ryann, and Emily. Burl and I lost our fishing buddy, we send our love and prayers, we are all are going to miss him at Ford Lake.

I am so sorry to hear about your dad.. I have so many fond memories of him at the lake. Uncle Rich was always there for a laugh and a hug.

The lake will just not be the same.

My heart goes out to you all.

Love to you all,

Beth

He will be missed.

Rich and Cyndi: Your Dad was such a fixture in LaGrange and will be missed by all. His was a great dedication to his policing duties, which I observed as a young boy growing up, sometimes on the receiving end. When I practiced law I saw his heart as well as his duty. At the bank, we benefited from his loyalty and responsibility. I got to witness his attention to his aunt (Violet?) and of course, to your Mom. What a great man!

Rich and Karen, So sorry to hear of your dad's passing. May God, family and friends help you at this difficut time.
Sincerely,

I will miss Rich and Ford Lake will miss Rich.
