On November 25, 2023, Richard Humble, age 84 years, passed peacefully at his home in Tomah, surrounded by his loving family after a long battle with dementia.

Richard was born January 24, 1939, in Hot Springs Arkansas to Harry and Effie Humble. He grew up in the Sparta area. He married the love of his life, Diane Harper in 1967. They had two sons, Keith and Justin.

He is further survived by sisters in law Emily Anderson and Geri Harper and many nieces and nephews.
