Richard Arthur Oksendahl
Richard Arthur Oksen-
dahl, born March 29th,
1945 in Rugby, North
Dakota to his parents
Arthur and Fredrikke Ok-
sendahl.
He attended Rugby
schools until he
transferred to Oak Grove
High School in Fargo,
North Dakota where he
graduated. He attended
the State School of Sci-
ence in Wahpeton, North
Dakota for his 2 year de-
gree. He worked for Col-
lins Radio Company in
Cedar Rapids, IA for 5
years on top secret equip-
ment for the war. He
moved back to Rugby and
opened his Zenith repair
shop. He has had many
other jobs with things like
irrigation systems and
heavy equipment. He was
a friend to many and a
pain in the butt to some,
but he was loved by all
who knew him. He was a
good father and always
tried to do his best in
everything he did.
Rest in peace beloved
father, grandfather and
friend. You are truly
missed.
A Celebration of
Richard’s life was held on
Saturday, July 10 at Lee’s
