Richard L. Tweedy was born near Verdel, Nebraska on his family's farm
on April 9, 1949 to Fred and Emma (Buskirk) Tweedy. His father died
when Richard was only two years old. The family moved to Saunders
County and he attended schools in Weston and Ithaca, Nebraska. Richard
started working at an early age. He worked for Consolidated Blenders
in Mead, which was known as the alfalfa mill, for many years. On Mar.
26, 1968, he was united in marriage to Norma Vanek in Yankton, South
Dakota. They made their home in Mead and Ashland, Nebraska for many
years. After living in Omaha for seventeen years, they moved to
Council Bluffs, Iowa four years ago. Richard worked with his son Ross,
calling their business TNT Construction, doing commercial and
residential roofing. Richard always kept a positive attitude and was
always willing to help anyone in need. When the local mission would be
closed, he and Norma helped many people with a place to stay and
something to eat. Richard had recently been baptized and confirmed
into the Catholic faith.
Richard is survived by his wife Norma; sons and daughters in law,
Rodney, Greensboro, NC, Richard and Anne, Colon, NE, Russell and Tina,
Orlando, FL, and Ross of Council Bluffs, IA; eleven grandchildren; two
great grandchildren; sisters Delores LaCroix, Crofton, NE and Sharon
(Lawrence) Kaiser, Ceresco, NE; brother Kenneth Tweedy, Ames, NE;
sister in law Pearl Tweedy; many nieces, nephews and friends. He was
preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Marion, Ben and Harold;
sisters, Darlene LaCroix, Etta Barber, and Donna Milliken; and infant
siblings, Fred Jr. and Betty Ann.
