Richard’s services will be livestreamed below starting at 5:30 PM Monday October 24, 2022.
Richard Stephen Ihland, 83, of Abercrombie, ND, passed away on October 15,2022, while surrounded by his family.
Richard was born on March 12,1939, in rural Abercrombie, ND, to Edward and Sophie (Paulson) Ihland. He graduated from Abercrombie High School in 1958. Richard married Sandra Johnson on August 10,1963. They made their home in rural Abercrombie. Richard worked in trucking for Silverline Boats and also worked many years for Wolverton Telephone Company. In later years Dick was the proud owner of Dick’s Tree Service where he sprinkled the Valley with beautiful trees that he moved from one place to another.
Dick enjoyed and took so much pride in his children. His biggest joy came from watching his children and grandchildren in their sporting events. Dick was an avid fan of the Minnesota Twins and the NDSU Bison football team. He could often be found prepping his boat or fish house for his beloved fishing hobby.
The Ihland farm, where Dick was born and resided his entire life was recognized as a North Dakota Centennial Farm in 1982, which would make the farm close to 150 years in the Ihland family. Dick took great pride in this and loved the farmstead.
Dick is survived by his loving wife of 59 years, Sandra of Abercrombie; his son Paul (Emilie) and their children Jake and Drew; his son Matthew (Julie) and their children Benjamin and Emma; his daughter Tessa (Stu) Tschakert and their children Connor and Shelby (Austin Heyen) and their son Brooks; his brother-in-law David (Sharon) Corse and his sister-in-law Debbie Reinhardt; and several nieces and nephews.
Just five days after Dick was born, he was sadly preceded in death by his Mother Sophie. He was also preceded in death by his father Edward, his two brothers and their wives, Norman and Helen Ihland and Paul Ihland and Iola (Ihland) Herrick; and his two sisters and their husbands, Betty and Hans Syvertsen and Sally and Norman Cadaret; and sister-in-law, Yvonne Corse.

Joan Hendrickson & family
he has some health issues and I did not want him in nursing home it all isn’t easy but you have to
care for your love ones. We are home bodies have only been to the Kent a couple of times. I did not
know Dick was even not feeling well, so sorry to hear of his passing. Maybe later we could get to gather
if you still drive to Breck. Sending love and peace to all. Faye Groen and Abbie Buchholz
I am so sorry for your loss!
Dick will be missed.
Sandra and family, so sorry to hear of Dick’s passing. It was a real shock for sure. Our most sincere sympathies go with you and your family at this very difficult time. Perhaps next year if we get to Minnesota we will get together. We were there this year but it was a rather crazy time.
Our love and prayers.

I was a member of the Abercrombie High School Class of 1958 with Dick. I have many nice memories of Dick. I had a chance several years to talk to Dick when I was visiting in Abercrombie. Sorry to hear of his passing.
Sandra, Paul, Matt and Tessa. I express my sympathy to your family for the loss of Dick. You have been so good to my folks throughout the years and as my dad said, “I lost my fishing buddy.” The adventures they endured over the years and miles of discussion are priceless. Prayers to you all.
Dick will be missed by his community of friends! I am sorry for Sandra and the Inland family’s loss. May God Bless you with peace and all your good memories!
Love you all, Alica

So I’ve lost another cousin. Dick was a soft-spoken man, a handsome man and a kind man. So proud to have been related to him. Prayers for you all during this time of deep loss. Rosie (Paulson) and Charlie Hilton
