Richard Pabst Obituary

Truly a great soul - may he rest in peace. As his daughter-in-law, he welcomed me into his home, his heart, and his family.

I will always remember his great laugh - even if you had no idea what he was laughing at, it was impossible not to join in. I miss him dearly.

Gretch - We're glad you and Dick included us in your world travels. Seems like you two have friends and relatives everywhere! Our thoughts are with you and your family. Dick will be missed. Van and Martha Lowe

Gretchen,

On behalf of the Townsend and Miller families in Rock Island I wish to send our best wishes, sympathies, and love. We will certainly miss Dick and hope you will not hesitate to reach out at this time to all of the friends and family who are willing to lend hands and shoulders. We love you. Ann (Townsend) Miller, Rock Island, IL

Dear Gretchen, My prayers are with you and your family. Through the years, I never thought about one of you without thinking about the other. Seeing your smiling faces in the McGuffey '54 reunion photo brought back great memories of the two of you. You have been blessed through the years.

Dear Gretchen,
Much love and prayers to you from the Indy folks. Thanks so much for taking time to include us in your travels. We always looked forward to getting together and sharing new and old times with you both. Dick was a wonderful friend and appreciated by all.

Dear Gretchen,
I'm very sorry for your loss. I wish I could have know Dick better But being 9 years younger, and the distance between us made that impossible. Even with that I have very found memories of the times our families got together.

Dear Gretchen,
Much love to you from the old home place. We are so glad that you and "cuz" had such a full life together and can cherish so many joyful memories. Our door is always open for you.
Judy and Warren

Gretchen and family.

Carole and I are deeply saddened by Dick's passing. I have very fond memories of Dick and I serving as altar boys in the Trinity Church together and really growing up together. We will miss our lunches in Cincinnati when you would come back to visit. We both hope you will call and visit again if you return to the area at anytime. Dick lived life to the fullest and we will miss him very much.

Love to you and your family.
Carole and George Van Lieu

Dearest Gretchen and family - know that we hold you in our hearts at this time. We will sure miss that big Dick Pabst grin - but will carry the great memories of flying, dinners, music, and traveling together forever.

Love, Ron and Kathie

Dear Gretchen and family,
Elaine and I just heard from Elly about Dick's recent passing. We know that God is with you in your hurting time. Our prayers are with you and may you know peace and most of all love, in your time of loss.

Gretchen, Chris, & David,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and throughout these trying times. Be assured that the world and the many that knew Dick over the years are the better for that association. The Ross's and the Pabst's go back a long way and have shared many good times together....and those memories are what we must and will dwell on and remember during this time of sorrow and pain. Gretchen, we are here should you need us.

Dear Mrs. Pabst, David and Chris, it is hard sometimes in the midst of one's own sorrow to realize that theirs is not alone. I suppose there is some comfort in knowing that others understand both the pain and the appreciation of a kind word. My thoughts turn to the Pabst family along with my hope that you each find in peace and good memory.
