RICHARD OBIREK
1937 2023
He was always there for us... until suddenly he wasn't.
Now memories run through our mind, each one reminding us of another memorable time, of the joy and pleasure and wonder of what once was. But now our world Is burdened by a sense of emptiness we have yet to come to terms with.
Rich was the light of our family and we know that after a period of healing grief, we all will truly smile, perhaps wistfully at times, but eventually with true happiness when we reminisce about the gift to our lives that was Richard Obirek.
Love Pat

Our deepest condolences to the Oberik Family We are deeply saddened by the loss of Richard, he was a kind man with a heart of gold. We were very lucky to have the Oberik’s as friends and neighbors at Grand Beach. Rich could often be seen riding his bike with one of the family dogs in tow and would never pass by without stopping to chat (even if it was for a minute to say “hello”). The boys had an annual golf day at Grand Pines followed by an informal dinner back at our cabin where spouses and family were welcome to join (stories were shared and lots of laughs had by all). Richard will be sadly missed by all who knew him. Heaven has definitely gained another Angel to watch over us!! Rest in Peace Richard 💞 The Saunders Family - Posted by: Kevin, Kim, Karli and Kory Saunders (Friend) on: Feb 20, 2023
