Rich was full of life and energy and ambition. He was a teacher and administrator for thirty-five years. He also had several side businesses, and wrote several books. In 2013, as a reward for retiring, he rode his bike 1,860 miles on a dream trip, all the way from Washington State to Wisconsin.
Rich was a strong believer in Jesus, and his salutation on his emails was always “following the Shepherd home.” He passed away on October 28, 2020, after a short valiant fight with brain cancer. He leaves behind his wife of forty-five years, Jennie, as well as three children and seven grandchildren.
Sadly, Rich is not the only member of the Korb family on the IHS Memorial Wall. His sister, Lora, passed away two years before he did.
