IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Richard "Dick"
Hershberger
April 22, 1935 – November 10, 2020
Richard Warren Hershberger was born in Milford, Nebraska on April 22, 1935 to Vernon and Lela (Eicher) Hershberger, and passed away on November 10, 2020, in Lincoln, Nebraska. Dick attended and graduated from Milford High School in 1954 and graduated from Southeast Community College, Milford in 1958. While in high school, Dick loved and participated in sports.
Dick and Carol (Hagemoser) were joined in marriage on August 14, 1957 in Seward, Nebraska at the E.U.B. Church. To this union were born a son, Ron J. and daughter, Darci Lynne.
Dick enlisted into the Seward Army National Guard in 1953 and served until 1959.
He worked in Lincoln, Nebraska as a Journeyman electrician for Action Electric from 1958 until August 1972 when Phil Wurst invited him to join him in the insurance business. He truly enjoyed working with his clients and was in the business for 24 years until his health forced him to retire in 1996.
Dick was a big Husker and Seward High School fan and loved attending his grandchildren's sporting events and musicals. His grandchildren and great grandchildren were the light of his life.
Throughout his life Dick enjoyed serving his church in many capacities. It brought him much joy to join his fellow Christians in singing praises to His Lord and Savior.
Dick is preceded in death by his parents, parents-in-law Paul and Fern Hagemoser, brother-in-law Dick Hagemoser and sister-in law Mary J. Hershberger. His brother-in-law Boyd Gabel followed him in death on the same day.
