Rick was not a 'suit and tie' type of guy, the family requests all in attendance to wear their favorite golf polo.

Richard G. Boesch was born December 11, 1955, in Norfolk to Ed and Florice (Pfeifer) Boesch. He grew up in Humphrey and graduated from St. Francis High School in 1974. Following high school, Rick began his 46-year construction career. On September 22, 1979, he was united in marriage to Luanne Kobus at St. Anthony Catholic Church.

Rick was a faithful member of St. Anthony Catholic Church, where him and his wife, Luanne, attended Mass regularly. He was also proud to serve as a 4th degree knight with the Knights of Columbus.
