Richard Lee Tibken was born on November 10, 1940, in Atlantic, Iowa, the son of Albert Henry and Eleanor Collier (Knop) Tibken. He was baptized at the Wiota First Evangelical Lutheran Church on December 29, 1940, and later confirmed on May 23, 1954. He was raised on the farm and was active in 4-H and the LYC Church Youth Group. His schooling started one mile east of the homeplace at Victory #8 country school. Rich attended Wiota High School through his junior year and finished his senior year at C & M High School in Cumberland; graduating in the Class of 1958. In the spring of 1959, he joined the Army Reserves and was stationed at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri and Fort Ord in California for six months and remained as an active reserve member for eight years. On April 8, 1961, he was united in marriage to Martha Elaine Bryson at the Grant United Methodist Church. The couple was blessed with two children, Julie and Mike. Rich farmed his entire life; it wasn’t just a way of life it was his passion. He was a conserver of the soil and steward of the land; taking great pride in his work in the fields and with his cattle. He looked forward to showing his children and grandchildren the reason he did things the way he did and why he also expected you to follow suit doing it the way he did it; the only way. For example, when building fence every last piece of dirt that you took out of the hole must go back in; it didn’t matter that some of that space was now taken by the post. Gathering together as family was very important to Rich. When his kids were little they remember gathering for breakfast and knowing when the markets and farm news came on that conversation was to end, or you may get “the look.” Family meals started with a prayer and you could always count on an ample serving of beef and potatoes. One of his greatest joys were his grandchildren; some might say he had a soft side for them and maybe let them get away with a little too much, but isn’t that what grandpa’s do? He created countless memories for his grandchildren when they spent time at the farm riding in the combine, taking 4-wheeler rides, going for lunch, or having him read them a story. Rich was a lifelong member of the Wiota First Evangelical Lutheran Church; where he served as a Deacon for many years. He was also a member of the Cumberland Farmers COOP Board and the Cass County Cattlemen’s Association. In his younger years he enjoyed golfing, and in recent years going to Corning for the races and to Kansas City and Indianapolis to NASCAR races. It was hard to get Rich off the farm, but when he did the family vacationed to Colorado and both coasts. Source: Roland's Funeral Home; Atlantic IA ..................
