Honoree's Last Name Honoree's First Name From Tribute In memory of a dedicated American who served his country in the U.S. Navy and U.S. Army. Loving husband, father, stepfather, grandfather, and great grandfather. Resident of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin for 44 yrs. At 17 years old Rich entered the service, where he served for 3 years in the U.S. Navy at the end of WW2. When the Korean War broke out, he reenlisted in the U.S. Army and served 4 more years. He grew to love sharing accounts of his military career with family, friends, and anyone lending an ear. A proud–fond highlight of his senior years, was participation in the Honor Flight to Washington D.C. Rich went with his daughter and grandson, where he was able to share his experiences as they toured the Washington D.C. war memorials together, celebrating his military service with the whole family upon his return.
