ichard D. Bueche of Chesaning died Monday, January 31, 2022,  at Memorial Healthcare Center of Owosso. He was 64 years of age.
 
Richard was born November 24, 1957, in Owosso to Arthur B. and Madonna (Flynn) Bueche. Rick was a lifelong resident of Chesaning and a member of St. Peter Catholic Church.
 
Rick was a favorite brother to us all and a devoted son. He worked side by side with Dad whether mowing, raking, or moving snow. Rick was always there to help. He had many hobbies that filled his spare time like puzzles, yarn craft, word find, and collecting any music. He loved to decorate with his own ideas,  He was a master at collecting what each sibling left behind when they moved out. Rick enjoyed trips to the casino with Dad, Mom, and Uncle Bob. When bringing in the mail, he would announce to all what came.
 
Rick loved trains and narrating TV shows and would have told you about Groundhog’s Day. He enjoyed riding his bike around town and paint by number. He was a loving caring guy who was first to greet you there. Though not advanced in book smart ways, he could learn “hands on” work really fast. Dad taught him alot about repairing small engines. Rick had a few jobs along the way like General Meats, Hehr, and Cross Roads Restaurant. He was also involved with Maple Grove Kids cleaning churches and etc., but the warmest things he ever did was engage with grandkids, share his latest accomplishments, and we can’t forget the shoulder rub with his strong hands. If you didn’t get one of those, we are sorry you missed out. We love you, Rick.
