Thomsen, V. "Rick"
11/20/1956 - 12/13/2022
Rick was a dedicated worker, loyal to the auto parts business for nearly 50 years. Rick semi-retired in November 2019 but continued to work part time until April 2021.
On October 3, 1980, we met at a nightclub in Council Bluffs, IA. It was love at first sight and soon led to our marriage on April 4, 1981. Love and dedication blessed us with 4 children, Nickie, Stefanie, Stacie and Brandon. We purchased a home in April 1988 and raised our family. Later in life we became doting grandparents to a step granddaughter Madison and 7 grandchildren Caleb, Melody, TerriLyn, Elam, LoriLei, Braylen and Elliot who continue to be the lights of our lives.
During the remainder of his years he encountered a number of health challenges which led to his passing on December 13, 2022 at UNMC Hospital. Join me and our family in a celebration of his wonderful life, his loyalty to his family and dedication to his friendships throughout the years. We will miss him …….
