So sad to hear of Rick’s passing. I hadn’t seen him since highschool.. but memories of him are good. So wish he could of made it to the 50th reunion. My heart goes out to his entire family.
Sincerely…Patty Hobbs Schroeder

My sincere condolences to the entire Weidner family for the loss of a fine man.
Hearing of his untimely passing like this was not the way I had hoped to learn where the many forks in life’s road had taken him. Hearing all about that first hand, like at our upcoming 50th reunion would have been much more preferred.
May God Bless and Console You All.

I was saddened to hear about Rick last week. He was a steady man and things like this weren’t supposed to happen to Rick. I had the honor of working with Rick at R&W Food Service Sales. He was a great boss and friend. He didn’t expect any of his employees to do anything he wouldn’t do himself. If the freezer needed to be cleaned, he was the first one in there outfitted in jeans and a warm jacket. We were a family and he made several efforts after he sold the Company to keep connected with those that remained. My thoughts and prayers are with Jeanette and family. Rick was one of the good guys in the business. He will be missed.

I will always remember and be grateful for Rick and Jeanette’s thoughtful kindnesses when I was in Shakopee last fall. Even though we had just met, they treated me as if we were old friends. I am so sad that I won’t get to spend any more time with Rick. But I’m hopeful that I’ll learn more about him through his wife and sister. I, so sorry for his family’s loss.

Rick was a very special man and uncle! I will miss him dearly. He always had a smile and a fun -niss (I do not think that is a word but I feel that describes him) about him. I feel truly blessed that he was part of my life! My sincere sympathy – love you!

Rick was a friend from grade school thru high school graduation. I knew his dad pretty well and always found Rick for be a good friend and classmate. Very sorry I won’t get to see him at our 50th class reunion. He was a smart and ambitious kid who I knew would do well in his career and life.

So very sorry. My heart goes out to your entire family. Rick sounded like a wonderful man who loved his family dearly. Be there for each other through these tough times.

We are so very sorry for your loss, so many memories of all the times Marcia would haul us up to your home and Rick would bring home party pizza’s. We thought it was the greatest thing ever. We will be praying for comfort for all of you who loved him. I’m sure he will be greatly missed.

I am so sorry to hear about your father and brother. I am Ricks cousin and have not seen him since my highschool years. I remember visiting him and his family in Spearfish. I hope all the good memories you have of him will bring you much comfort.

We’re still in shock about the sudden death of Rick and we’re so sorry to hear about the sudden loss. Our deepest sympathy & condolences to Jeannette & family. Rick has been fishing with my husband Dan, Rick’s close friend Stu Bernard and Dave Sanders for the past few years at Lac Seul Canada. My husband enjoyed his company and Rick was a true fisherman. One time he brought his big frying pan and everyone was amazed how delicious all the fish turned out. We’ll include Rick, Jeanette and his family in our prayers. May his soul rest in peace. Amen.
