Richard Ralo Lober

In Loving Memory Of

Richard Ralo Lober

Richard was born to Richard G and Florence L Lober on March 13, 1941. He grew up in Fulda, Minnesota, graduating from Fulda High School in 1959. After high school he attended DeVry Tech in Chicago, Illinois. He graduated with a degree in computers in 1961 and started work with computer design at Minneapolis Moline.  When Minneapolis Moline closed their Minneapolis operations, he went to work for EMR in computer research and development. In 1976 EMR was purchased by Sperry Rand/Univac, and Dick moved back to Fulda where he helped his parents with projects and chores in and around the family home. After his dad died, he continued helping his mother at the family home. In 1997 Dick and his mom sold the house in Fulda and moved to Slayton. His mom passed away in 1998, and Dick then moved to Sioux Falls, SD. Eventually, he returned to Slayton, MN and moved into Sunrise Terrace where he lived until he passed away suddenly on Jan 21, 2025, at the age of 83 years.  All of his nieces and nephews have special memories of their time spent with “Uncle Dick”: birthdays, snowmobiling, ice skating, swimming, learning to play pool, ping pong, and backyard volleyball to name a few; more recently there were lunch dates hosted at his friend, Lucille’s farm, or at The Hub Drive-In or with drive-in food at the park with the next-generations of nieces and nephews; quiet conversation was a great way to learn about family history. He will be missed!

Survivors include his nephew, Allan(Susan) Foster and their family: Kim (Nate) Danelski and family, and  Lisa (Brad) Nelson and family, his niece, Corrine (Kevin) Campbell and their family: Jamie (Brian)Kelly and family, Christopher McNab and family, Emily (Keiha)Gomes and family, Kyrie (Aaron)Baton and family, Kailey (Austin)Anderson and family, Lynzee (Zane)Morton and family, Zack(Ashley)Campbell and family, his niece, Susan (Randy ) McDonald and their family: Jim (Katie)Schultz and family, Shannen (Lakota) McDonald and family, and Danny McDonald and family, and his special friend, Lucille Magnus.  Dick was preceded in death by his parents, his sister and brother-in-law, Charlene and Robert Foster, his niece, Patricia Foster, and his nephew, John Foster.

Graveside services will be at the family plot, Prairie Hill Cemetery, in Fulda, MN on May 4, 2025, at 1pm.  There will be a gathering at the Fulda City Hall following the service where family and friends can share fellowship and refreshments.  Totzke Funeral Home of Slayton is entrusted with arrangement to send condolences visit totzkefuneralhome.com

Rest in peace…we love you.
