Ricky Stuttgen

At the Fried/Schneider family reunion Rick good-naturedly played crokinole for the first time and was so good he even scored a 20! Unfortunately for him, I was his partner (and a hopeless shot) so he did not advance in the tournament. Hugs to Cindy and the kids. How your hearts must ache.

I worked with Ricky on quite a number of projects for our southwestern exchanges. These were always difficult to solve, but Ricky was always positive and so nice to work with. I'd stop by his cube with questions and always enjoyed talking with him. I can see he truly expressed the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. My prayers and condolences are with his family. I will miss him greatly.

Cindy and family - I am so sorry to hear of Ricky's passing. He was such a gentle and kind soul. I really enjoyed working with him for so many years at TDS Telecom. He was always pleasant and fun to work with on the projects we shared. Every March, I looked forward to the upcoming Maple Syrup season. He really enjoyed doing that with his greater family. I will say a prayer for him in his eternal life.

I want to send my deepest sympathy to Cindy and family in Ricks passing. You are in my prayers. I have many great memories that I will cherish. He was always fun and would do anything for you.

My deepest condolences to the Stuttgen family. Ricky was an absolutely wonderful human being who always had a smile for everyone and will be missed greatly.
