Richard J. “Rich” Lender, 61, of Antis Township died Tuesday morning, October 25, 2022.
He was born November 24, 1960, a son of the late Ed and Louise Lender.
He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Peggy; a daughter, Lauren (Brandon); a son, Garrett (Samantha); brothers, Bob (Donna) and Ed; and his grandpup, Jet.
Rich was a wonderful husband, father, and friend. He was kind, funny, hard-working, dedicated, generous, and his positivity could light up a room.
His hard work and dedication earned him the position as President/CEO of Your Building Centers, as well as his recent election onto the board of Do It Best Corp.
In his free time, Rich loved to travel and read, but most of all, he cherished the time spent with his family. He even coached his son’s little league team in Bellwood.
He will always be remembered for his generosity, humor, positivity and warmth. “To love him, and be loved by him, has been one of the most treasured gifts in life. We love you to the moon and back, always.”
Friends will be received from 2 to 7pm, Monday, October 31, 2022 at Jon C. Russin Funeral Home, Inc. Bellwood. A private funeral service will be held at the convenience of his family.
As Rich adored his grandpup, Jet, the family suggests that contributions in his memory be made to your local humane society.
