Uncle Dick,
I will miss you and our card games,
I always had the best times down at the lake, I know that you are in a better place,
Jamie and Kelly
Darlenne and family, I just found out that Jim never gave you a note and a prayer that I had meant for you to have so I would like to send it to you now.
I am very sorry for your loss.
I was so very sorry that I could not be with all of you to say my goodbyes. I will always remember my euchre partner, his great smile and sly look when he knew we were going to win.
I will miss him.
You are not forgotten loved one
Nor will you ever be
As long as life and memory last
We will remember thee
We miss you now, our hearts are sore
As time goes by we miss you more
Your loving smile, your gentle face
No one one can fill your vacant space
Goodbye Dick, REST IN PEACE
Wow! First I want to say how sorry I am at hearing the loss of Dick Schibler. He gave me my first job and taught me all I know of shoes and then some. Time goes by too quickly. I and my girlfriend(now my wife) were invited to Conesus to visit, I don’t know if you remember Darlenne. Richard has always been special to me, his smile and space between the teeth. He was a real compliment to all he met. Words are not enough. God Bless you all with the beautiful memories.
Sincerely,
Jim Wood
We saw Poppy’s pride in his family and his love for each of his children and grandchildren. He will be missed.
We are grateful for Rick’s presence in our family and for the joy he has brought to our Brook’s family.
Praying for each of you in the days ahead.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Sue, Allie, Cass and Jim. What wonderful memories you have of your father and grandfather ~ may they help ease your pain.
Dad,I knew this day would come and I thought I would never be able to go on without you. But I have discovered that you are with me all the time because everywhere I look, I see you. There isn’t a single room in my house you haven’t been in and helped me with and when I look in my gardens I see your strong influence and know you have taught me everything I need to know. I am fortunate to say I have had 49 years to spend with you, my hero, my rock, my mentor and most important my Dad. I am proud to be your daughter and will cherish every moment I have had with you. I can only hope that I will be as loved by my girls as they have loved you. I will love you forever and can’t wait to see you again someday.

To the rest of the world he is known as Richard A. Schibler, but to us he is our Poppy. He was famous for being a strong, proud man with an amazing work ethic, but he was so much more than that. Poppy raised my sister and I alongside our parents. Every morning we were promptly greeted with warm “toaster doodles” and the beverage of choice (which happened to be ginger ale most mornings for Allie). Not a day went by where he heard humming cheerfully as he stirred endless amounts of chicken soup by the stove as we watched cartoons. Other days we would take a ride in the loveable Buick, jamming track number 12, Madonna’s Like A Prayer all the way to lunch and shopping. Poppy would give us each six dollars and tell us to go pick out toys every day. So every day when Mom would come to pick us up, we would greet her with candy in our mouths and new toys, and Poppy would grin and laugh at her face at the sight of us so spoiled rotten. In the summer, Poppy took us out on the giant party boat where we would swim for hours and hours until dinner time when he would cook up some famous goulash or burgers on the grill. He was always there for us, wiping tears when we were sad, laughing with us when we were happy, but most importantly he taught us to work hard and go for your dreams. Richard was an amazing man there is no doubt about that, but Poppy was and always will be our hero and we will continue to live out his legacy. We love you so much Poppy and we will make you proud!
With All Our Love,
Allie and Cassi Tuchrello
