Richard Long Obituary

Graduation Year Class of 1987
Date of Passing Aug 13, 2000
About Rick was my brother. We moved to Lovington in 1980 when my step-dad, Don Dukeman, took a job as a Lovington Policeman. We were there until my mom got wise and left midway thru the 82/83 school year.

Rick was married for a few years in the mid 90's. He was working for Caterpiller Logisitics in Champaign, IL at the time of his death.

My mom and I found him dead at his home in Rantoul, IL. His heart stopped beating while he slept in his chair watching TV and eating pizza. He didn't suffer in anyway.

They say time heals all wounds. I guess time still needs to work for longer because it still hurts.
