Dick was born June 13th, 1932, in Belvidere, IL, to Frederick W. and Mildred (Stecher) Triebold. He graduated from Whitewater High School in 1950, after which he served in the United States Army as a Military Policeman in Germany. Upon returning to the States, Dick married his High School Sweetheart, Judith Roe, on July 2, 1955. They lived in Janesville, Wisconsin, and Rockford, Illinois, before moving back to Whitewater, where he and his brothers established Triebold Implement, Inc., a J.I. Case Farm Equipment dealership, in 1966.

Richard had the natural ability to repair anything mechanical and had a common sense solution for just about any problem. He easily established deep and lasting friendships with the people he met and had a strong and compassionate heart for others. His benevolent spirit led him to become one of the founding members of Bethel House, a Whitewater non-profit offering shelter to families in crisis.

Dick was a loving and caring father, and he and Judy raised 4 children: Ray (Mindy), of Whitewater; Joanne (Gary) Himebauch of Mukwonago; Jeannine (Jerry) Kincade, of Goodyear, AZ; and Robert (Ellen), of South Bend, IN. Grandchildren are Jason (Jenelle) Himebauch, Amy (Nicholas)  Jordan, Claire (Scott) Albrecht, Adam (Emily) Triebold, Janie Triebold, Kyra Triebold, Kelsey Triebold, Jacob (Carly) Kincade, Kaitlyn Kincade, and Stacey Kincade; great-grandchildren, Margaret, Andrew and Bridget Jordan, Jude and Jonah Himebauch.

John was born in Cassville, Wisconsin on May 29, 1927, the son of John and Ruth (Finney) Klindt. On June 2, 1956, John married Shirley Anne Eaton in Milton, MA.

He served in the United States Navy as an office clerk in San Francisco. When WWII ended in 1945 he felt he had been “delivered” and received the “call” to the ministry.

He earned a Bachelor of Science degree at University of Wisconsin Madison and a Masters of Religious Education at Andover Newton Seminary in Massachusetts. He served as an American Baptist then as a United Church of Christ pastor until his retirement.

A few brief words here will not do justice to his life and ministry, but let it be known he was a stalwart advocate of equality, separation of church and state, religious freedom and social justice for all.
