Richard Swanberg Obituary

Dear Swanbergs,
My sincerest condolences for your loss. Love and prayers to your family; may God watch over you during this difficult time, and heal you with strength and love.
I'm just now finding out, and apologize for not paying my respects. Mr. Swanberg was a truly wonderful man, who shared his love and values with his family. I was blessed to have them in muy life.

I am so sorry to hear, today, about your family's terrible loss...I will always remember the joy and smiles coming from your house, next door to Arnold's, and my time with Ian at the Castle...prayers for comfort from all surrounding you

... on behalf of my employer, a local florist, I delivered many heartfelt arrangements to St. Barnabas Church today. The shear volume of sentiment defied description.
~ may the tremendous, outpouring of support serve to remind you how much your family member was loved and appreciated while in your earthly presence

Sorry for yout loss. Ourcondolences to you and your family.

I was very saddened to hear this. I started trading with "swanny" back in the Mid-Am in 86-87. We both left the floor around 2012 so I knew Richard for many years. Great guy, classy, fun to be around. Never quite knew what he was going to say next. My deepest sympathies to the Swanberg family for your loss.

Our deepest sympathies to the Swanberg family.
I had the great experience of working with "Swanny" in the five year at CBOT. Always quick witted and clever, he was a genuine leader.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace. Amen.

To the entire Swanberg family, my thoughts and prayers to all of you. Rick will be missed. I met him through my brother Tony 20+ years ago. Rick introduced me to a bunch of EP guys playing rec hockey back then. It's because of Rick that I'm still playing 20+ years later with some of the same guys. I'll miss his straight-faced locker-room humor and quick whit! I won't miss getting in the way of his slapshot. May God rest your soul....

Rita, So-so sorry. This is an incredibly sad and please know that thoughts and prayers go to you and your kids from the Takash family. Always loved Rick and his razor-quick wit. Will not be able to make services as we're out of the country, but you are all in our hearts.

Rita and family ... I am so sorry for your loss. I can still remember the many great times with Rick playing softball, hockey, golf, and just riding the Metra RI home from the CBOT. My prayers and condolences to all of you.

I will always picture Rick with a crowd around him laughing at something he had just said while he maintained a straight face. An incredibly kind, strong, talented and genuine person. He will be deeply missed. My thoughts are with Rita, the kids, and the entire Swanberg family.

Our hearts ache for Rita, Ian, Nathan, Maeve, and the entire Swanberg. Rick was a wonderful, wonderful man, husband, father, friend. We have such fond memories of our times with the entire Swanberg family in Saugatuck. May god provide you all comfort, strength, and guidance during this painful time. RIP my dear friend. Will miss our golf and beer drinking dates.

Remembering a wonderful man and thinking of a wonderful family. Our hearts are with you.

My love and condolences go out to Rita and the children for the loss of their husband and father. I have been his neighbor in Chicago for many years and will miss his hearty laugh, and warm and gentle spirit.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Our family is keeping you in our thoughts.

Rita, Ian, Nathan and Maeve,
Ours hearts are with you as we move through this incredible loss. We are so grateful to have had such a beautiful person bless our lives. We can hear him laugh and see his energic love as our beloved springtime frogs weep with us in Saugatuck. Much love and gentleness to all of you,
Lesa, Cody, Zoey and Wyatt

Sending you love and light as you journey through such sadness. Holding you all in my heart.

As a very good fried of my brothers, Rick spent a lot of time at my house during our high school years at EP. He had a easy laugh, quick wit, and a great sense of humor. I'm certain he will be missed by many.
