Richard Ehresman
Richard F. Ehresman, 70, of Swansea, IL passed away peacefully, Saturday, November 13th.
He was preceded in death by his loving wife Rita.
He is survived by his three children, Jennifer (Don) Schrader, Jeffrey (Tammy) Ehresman, and Julie (Tom) Pollard; grandchildren Cristi, Kyle, Kaylene and Lane; two great-grandchildren Jaylee and Kaedence.
(Retired)Mgst Ehresman proudly served his country with 25 years of service in both the Army and the Air Force. He was a valued member of the Air Force Communications Unit for vast part of his military service. He was an avid sports fan and his dry sense of humor will be greatly missed.
Truly a wonderful man. He was a real pleasure to be around. He will be missed by a lot of us at the KC. Glad he got to go to a U of I football game with me last fall. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Julie and Tom, sorry to hear the news of your dad. I hope you have peace and comfort knowing he is with the Lord now with no more suffering. God bless you and your family in this difficult time. Bonnie and I offer you our deepest sympathies.
Julie,
It’s a real loss to lose our parents. It’s the faith that
keeps us strong and helps at
a time of mourning.
God bless you and your family.
Terry and I know Rich from the Elbow Room, KC, and Quinns. I mentioned one time at the Elbow Room that a cup of coffee sure would be nice, he left and came back with a cup of coffee. From then on I never had to ask, he would quietly leave and bring back a cup, often saying he had to go home to let his dog out, but I always knew he would return within a short time with a cup of coffee for me. His quick wit and humor will be missed, he was a gentleman, often reminding people we were talking with that a “lady” was present, he didn’t want any rough or inappropriate language when females were present. I always appreciated that. I will miss him and the cup of coffee he always had for me.
