Richard Bach passed away peacefully on August 18, 2021, at his residence in West Bend, WI. Richard was preceded in death by his wife, Patricia, and his son, Steven.
Richard was a loving husband and father. His memory will be cherished and kept alive by his surviving children: Annie Bach (Steven), Scott Bach (Therese), and Cindy Lippert (Les); his grandchildren: Emily (Justin) McElwain, Aaron (Angela) Bach, Alec (Danielle) Bach, Chelsea (David) Monroe, Cory (Laura) Bach, Jeremy (Maggie) Lippert, Rebecca (Joe) Huber, and Patrick (Tiffany) Lippert; great-grandchildren: Eleanor, Miles, Arya, Alaster, Morgan, Jaycee, Alexis, William, Thea, and Anakin; his brother James (Valla) Bach and extended family.
Richard will be remembered for many things. His fun-loving nature, his ever-present smile, and the constant twinkle in his eyes are hard to forget. It was a rare occurrence to be around him and not share a laugh. Richard made sure to share his positive outlook in life with everyone he met. Richard never had a bad day fishing or golfing; two of his favorite pastimes.
Richard joyfully expressed his love of music, singing, and dancing. Many were blessed to share them with him. Richard enjoyed playing sheepshead with his friends and usually found a way to come out ahead.
Richard had a remarkable work ethic and unfailing integrity. He strove to be a considerate, honorable man at all times. Richard loved his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and never strayed from him. Richard’s love of and commitment to his family are an example to all of us, and we have been blessed to experience them personally. His family intends to honor him by carrying on his legacy as a father, grandfather, and great grandfather.

There will be a visitation opportunity starting at 10:00 AM for family and friends with a memorial service at 12:00 PM on September 25th, 2021, at Krause Funeral Home, 9000 West Capitol Drive, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
