Kris and Bob,
What a great tribute to both Dr. Diane and Rich! Thank you for sharing the photos. I am sorry to learn of their passing. I have many fond memories of the years I worked at Century Animal Clinic as a Veterinary Assistant. I always enjoyed a chat with Rich and his many stories - including watching the MN Twins during spring training in Florida. Dr. Diane taught me many lessons - sharing her veterinary expertise and also her keen business sense. May they both rest in peace and blessings to your family.

Kris and Bob,
My family and I just drove past Century Avenue in Maplewood and I was reminded of my work as a Veterinary Assistant at CAC. I will always be grateful to your mom for all she (and Drs. Evans, Bradshaw, Lechtman, and Henson) taught me as I sought to become a veterinarian myself. May both Diane and Rich rest in peace.

I believe I knew Richard when we were classmates at Immanuel Lutheran school 5 miles east of Rockwell City. The Richard I knew also had a brother 'Vernon' and some younger siblings. Richard and his family moved up north and I corresponded with him briefly afterward. The correspondence indicates that I liked and missed his presence. The same as for Vernon. I started this search because there is a Tim Sittig serving as police chief in Ft. Madison, Iowa and every time I read about him it takes me back those many years, and I am trying to decide if he (Tim) could be a relative to Richard /Vernon.
I wish I could have found Richard before this, perhaps there is a chance I can locate Vernon.

Dad's Words of Wisdom......
When I was a teenager, my dad always told me to travel and explore the world while I was young. As I got older, he'd tell me that I needed to learn to do nothing.
You were right dad!
So, even though I didn't travel and explore the world when I was younger, I'm trying to learn to do nothing. Those that know me well, know that doing nothing isn't on my "To Do List". But, I will try to do nothing from time and time and think of him. I love you dad. We are all missing you this holiday season and every day in between.

So sorry to hear of Richard's death. Always enjoyed seeing him at the Sittig Family Reunions.
Diane, Kris (Robert), and grandchildren
Thank you for sharing pics of Richard's life. He Loved and enjoyed his family. We remember when Richard & Diane helped the nephews/nieces and sister-in-law, Aunt Evelyn Sittig, celebrate Uncle Fred and Aunt Alice Sittig Anniversary. Sending our Love, Hugs, and Prayers to your family. (Lyle, 1st cousin to Richard)

Rich became part of my life the day I started working at Century Animal Clinic. The minute he knew that I was raised on a farm/ranch in SD, he never forgot to ask me how my family back there was doing. The year of the Cattleman's Blizzard in SD, he was the only one I knew here that was devastated from the loss of cattle as much as I and those of SD. He had the love of the country as only those who are born into it, have. It never dies but becomes a light burning within that never goes out. Thank you, Rich, for this connection and memory. May your spirit be wherever your heart found joy.
Great pics we enjoyed them all
Great pictures of uncle Richard!
I met Rich shortly after I met his daughter Kris in 1987. He was an interesting person who always had a story to tell. He became my father-in-law in 1991 and I'm proud to say I've known him for 30 years. I'm sure he's hanging out with his parents now and hopefully having a beer and fishing as well. 🙂
