Richard Lee Lansman Sr., son of Chris Lansman Jr. and Barbara Susan (Gaskill) Lansman, was born Sept. 23, 1930, in Manning, Iowa, and died April 17, 2019, at the Perry Lutheran Home in Perry, Iowa.

At a young age, Dick lived on a farm near Audubon. After his father got hurt, then he dropped out of school to help with the family.

He met Marjorie May Rudolf, and they were married Feb. 14, 1953. They were blessed with three boys, Richard Jr., Donald and Timothy.

The family lived in the Audubon area and then moved to Yale, where Dick farmed.

In 1963 they moved to Perry, where he worked at Oscar Mayer for 26 years, until 1989.

After he retired, Dick did odd jobs, mowing a lot of yards for years until his eyesight got bad due to macular degeneration.

But that didn’t stop him from enjoying camping and fishing. He enjoyed camping with Tim, Diane, family and friends.

He loved to go to all the Get Togethers at Tim’s with family and friends.

Left to cherish Richard’s memory are his two sons, Richard (Johnnie) Lansman Jr. of Adel and Timothy (Diane) Lansman of Perry; sister-in-law, Kathy Tribble of Coon Rapids; grandchildren, Steve (Renee) Lansman of Otho, Iowa, Brent (Tara) Lansman of Indianola, Jeremy (Jana) Browns of Granger, Mark Burger of Grimes and Tiffany Hull of Perry; and great-grandchildren, Amanda, Ashlee, Emma and Serena Lansman, Kara, Kale and Jessa Browns, Jace Coleman, Brinley and Max Lansman and Lexi Burger.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Chris and Barbara; wife, Marge; son, Donald Lee Lansman; brothers, LaVern, Gerald and Wilfred Lansman; sister, Velma Wilson; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Ted and Velma Rudolf; brothers-in-law, Marvin Heuton and Jerry Tribble; grandson, Danny Lansman; and sisters-in-law, Jean Lansman, Ann Lansman and Norma Jean Heuton.
