RIP Butch Richenback

[Deltamud77]

Heard he passed away today. Truly a legend in North American waterfowl hunting.

[Up2Early]

Just got the news as well. A legend has left us.

Prayers for his family and the RNT team.

Prayers for Butch's family and the RNT group

Very sad to hear. He was always so nice to my boy when we would visit the shop.

Can somebody post what happened? I saw him in January over at the RNT shop I thought. Was he sick or was it something sudden?

[teul2]

I believe I read somewhere (facebook maybe) that he had cancer. I do not remember what kind.

[GulfCoast]

Butch had heart problems, and his lung cancer had come back. I was told at the shop it was basically untreatable.

[champcaller]

He was diagnosed with lung cancer not long ago. Was sitting on his couch three weeks ago and can't believe he is already gone. It spread very fast. Quicker than they thought. I'm going to his funeral tomorrow. It is in Stuttgart if anyone wants to attend.

He was the man, the myth, and the legend.

Passed by the shop today and was telling my wife that I needed to go by there and let him tune a call that he made long ago but I didn't have it in the car. I visited him a few months ago and he was so nice to offer to tune it up for me and I'm now kicking myself for not carrying it with me when I travel over there. So sad for the family..prayers sent.
