Richard H. West, 77, of Stevens Point, passed away on Tuesday, March 15,2022, at Countryside Manor in Sheboygan.  He was born May 19, 1944, in Wausau to Harold and Eleanor (Hartwig) West.  Richard graduated from Wittenberg High School and went on to receive his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from the University of WI Stevens Point.

Richard worked for Sentry Insurance for 35 years in their IT department completing his career as a director.  Outside of work he was an avid outdoorsman who loved hunting, fishing, golfing, and the Tuesday night card club. Richard was an extremely talented craftsman, specializing in cabinetry.  His family is going to miss his grilling and sausage making.
