Richard Wycoff
Richard Allen Wycoff, 70, from Springfield, Missouri passed away Saturday morning at Cox Hospital, after battling with health issues.
Richard was born in Leon, Iowa on June 4, 1940.
He is preceded in death by his biological father and mother, his wife; Angela-Kadavy-Bruner-Wycoff, of Loma, Nebraska, his daughter; Elaine Wycoff of Colorado, his step-daughter; Katherine Durfee, his best friend Kenneth Shipman of Eagle, Nebraska, and numerous dogs and cats, he considered his extended family. Everyone knew Sam, his Great Pyrenees.
He is survived by his daughter; Kristen Wycoff of Swanton, Nebraska, his step-daughter; Debra Bruner, of Lincoln, Nebraska, his step-son; Mark Bruner of Pass Christian, Mississippi, his grand-son; Joseph Allen Stitt,two grand-daughters; Elizabeth Wycoff, and Private Kyla Bruner, and his nephew; Robert Burk of Lincoln, Nebraska.
Richard spent his last years with the close companionship of his neighbors and friends. Richard was a member of Jefferson Baptist Church in Springfield. He served his country, through the enlistment in the Army, from 1957-1959. Ranging from Paratrooper to Army cook, Richard experienced it all.
To all who knew him we hope this poem describes him best:
Integrity and strength, a man short, but stood tall. The trials and tribulations, he made it through it all.
He fought for his country, he survived Uncle Sam. He once died on the table, But God had a different plan.
He'd give you the shirt off his back, or cookies he'd baked. Finding joy who all knew him, through the comments he'd make.
To my dear family and friends, to mention last but not least. I'm taking care of your animals, at the grace of God's feet.
Richard made an Anatomical gift of his eyes to the Lyon's Club, of Springfield. His bones and skin were donated at the request of his daughter, to St. Jude's Hospital.
A memorial service will be held at Herman H. Lohmeyer Funeral Chapel, 500 E. Walnut St. at 4:00 p.m. Thursday April 21, 2011.
Richard will be interned at Calvary Cemetery, in Lincoln, Nebraska.
