On May 29th, 2014, Rick Leimgruber passed on at the age of 61 surrounded by family and friends. His
favorite AC/DC and Joe Walsh tunes played softly on the radio.
He was a loving husband, a hero to his children, and a friend to all who met him.
Born in Bowling Green, Ohio to Noni and Bernie Leimgruber, Rick joined the Navy before marrying Sherry
Murphy and having two children, Dustin and Kristin.
Widowed in 1990, Rick eventually met and fell head over heels for Deborah Zerpoli. They married in 1992,
and merged their families to include Deb’s daughter, Meghann Frigge.
Rick was a master storyteller in the great Leimgruber family tradition. No one could tell a better fish
tale.
Quick to flash his mischievous smile, he demonstrated that the best defense against adversity is a
healthy sense of humor.
Though he traveled the world, his favorite place was at home with family and a cup of coffee.
Rick’s life will be celebrated in St. Joseph, Missouri’s beautiful Krug Park on June 4th, 2014 from 9:30
a.m.to 12 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in his memory should be made to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation,
a cause close to Rick’s heart.
