Richard “Rick” G. Landis, 70, of Ashland, NE, entered into rest on Thursday, January 21, 2021 at his home in Ashland, NE. He was born August 9, 1950 in Omaha, NE to George and Lois (Donaldson) Landis. Rick graduated from Omaha Central High School and attended University of Nebraska in Lincoln. On June 18, 1994, he was married to Kathy Richter in Nemaha, NE. Rick worked for UNL on the East campus in the soil testing lab for several years until the department was closed.
Rick enjoyed vintage automobiles, remote control airplanes, flying kites, music, reading and writing. He was very artistic, and he had a passion to continue to learn. Rick was active with Cobra, Nebraska Freeflighters and Bellevue RC Aeronautic Modelers.
He is survived by his wife of 26 years, Kathy Landis; sister, Judy (Richard) Forsman; many nieces, nephews, other family members and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Lois Landis.
My deepest sympathies. He was such a nice and supportive man. Let your friends and family help you heal. Sending you positive thoughts and energy.
Kathy, we are incredibly sorry for your loss. It seems like you and Rick fit into each other’s lives really well.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all… Rick was just a joy to be with, a wonderful soul.
You are in our prayers Kathy. I just found some pictures of “Ricky” (as we cousins knew him) last week while going through boxes of my folks’ stuff. We lived just a few blocks away from the Landis family in Omaha when I was 3-4 years old, and I looked up to Ricky and enjoyed the times we spent at their house (especially Saturday morning waffles).
Judy, I am so very sorry to hear of Rick’s death. I just saw it in the obituaries. You have my deepest sympathies. I will give you some time and then give you a call.
Kathy, I have never met you but you have my sincere sympathy in the loss of your husband.
I was so sorry to hear of Rick’s passing and remembering the Landis cousins reunion he and Kathy attended with us here in Wyoming. I was so pleased to have you come. May you be comforted with many happy memories.
To Kathy and the Forsman family: am so sorry for your loss. I found Rick to be kind and fun loving. Never forget the time we went out for pizza and he left the money at home.
Kathy, my heart goes out to you. So sorry for your loss and glad to have known Rick. He was such a nice man. You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.
Sending my love and prayers to you, Kathy, and all Rick’s dear ones. I have some dear memories of my childhood in Omaha and Boone, playing with my cousin Rick and friends.
Kathy, you are in our prayers, so sorry in Rick’s passing…Rick was such a sweet, patient, wonderful and kind hearted soul with a great smile! He will be cherished and missed always and remain at home in the hearts of all he’s met.
Kathy, Judy and family,
Apologies for the late sympathies, just reading some old papers.
Rick is always in the vision of my childhood and life on Hascall Street. He was so very nice and polite. Always kind. He was raised by two amazingly kind people so how could he be anything else. Will never forget the tennis games which were a constant chatter on both sides of “sorry, sorry, sorry” Never fails to make me smile.
My connection to your childhood continues since my daughter is friends with the current owners.
I am very sorry for your loss.
I will be thinking of you in the weeks and months ahead as you navigate this difficult path.
