Richard Lee Stucky, 78, passed away Dec. 30, 2020 at Sarah Cannon Cancer Center, Kansas City, Missouri, due to complications of Leukemia and COVID. He was born March 31, 1942, at home to Willard W. and Verna (Krehbiel) Stucky, Moundridge, Kansas.

He received his education at Pleasant Ridge and Pioneer Grade Schools and graduated from Moundridge High School with the class of 1960. Dec. 1960 to Sept. 1961 Richard served with the I-W Service project in Denver, Colorado.

Upon confession of faith, Richard was baptized on May 25, 1958, by Rev. Arnold Nickel and joined Eden Mennonite Church.

Richard was united in marriage to Betty Jo Albrecht on June 2, 1961 at Bethany Mennonite Church, Kingman, Kansas. After completing his term with I-W Service, Richard and Betty moved to a farm near Murdock, Kansas, for a&nbsp; couple of years before moving into Kingman, Kansas, where Richard worked for the Kingman Newspaper. In 1970 they moved to rural Moundridge and Richard worked for United Printing, Newton Kansas for approximately 10 years, trucked mobile homes cross-country for 3 years, and farmed family ground until retirement. July 2012 Richard and Betty moved to Independent Living at Pine Village.

Richard “didn’t know a stranger” and thoroughly enjoyed visiting with anyone and everyone. A visit to Wal-Mart, would find Rich sitting on a bench at the front door visiting with a “new friend”, while Betty was shopping. He enjoyed fishing, traveling and camping with their RV, attending Southern Gospel Music Concerts, and tinkering in his shop. He was very interested in history and family genealogy which led him to serve as a board member for Swiss Mennonite Cultural and Historical Association where he spent many hours maintaining local historical landmarks.

He is survived by wife, Betty, of Moundridge, sons Richard Jr.(Nicki) of Alta Vista, Kansas and Peter (Sukwon) of Boise, Idaho, daughter Sandy Davis of Gypsum, Kansas; grandchildren Dustin Stucky of Wichita, Kansas, Susie Stucky of Boise, Idaho, Sierra (Chandler) Burris of Wichita, Kansas, Jade Yianakopulos of Gypsum, Kansas, Taygen Yianakopulos of Kipp, Kansas, Alaina Yianakopulos of Gypsum, Kansas; great grandchildren Mason and Sebastion Stucky; brother Robert (Cheryl) Stucky; niece Meredith (Matt) Kauffman, nephews Joshua (Tricia) and Tyler (Kristen) Stucky.
