Calvin “Jack” J. Eichhorst

Je
Calvin “Jack” Eichhorst, age 88, of St. Cloud, passed away Oct. 28, 2022, at the Good Shepherd Nursing Home in Sauk Rapids. A service of interment will be held at a date yet to be determined in Washburn, North Dakota.
Jack was born to Henry and Regina (Brosz) Eichhorst May 21, 1934, in Washburn, North Dakota. In 1953 Jack Eichhorst met Judy Larson at the Evangelical Lutheran Church National Youth Convention in Moorhead, and they were married in 1956. They started their life together doing lay ministry at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, Northwest Angle-Lake of the Woods where they developed a conviction to serve the Lord. In 1972, Jack was ordained into the ministry by the American Lutheran Church at First Lutheran Church, Washburn, North Dakota, where he had been baptized and confirmed. Judy and he then served at Atonement Lutheran Church, St. Cloud; Lutheran Bible Institute of Seattle; St. John’s Lutheran Church, Jamestown, North Dakota; First Lutheran Church, Washburn, North Dakota and Peace Lutheran Church, Lincoln, North Dakota. His favorite Bible verse was “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me.” (Galatians 2:20)
Jack was civic minded. This led him to be involved in the civil rights movement and most significantly, based on Biblical principles he worked to protect the life of the unborn which led him to co-found Lutherans for Life and be active in Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life.
Jack loved to be with people and through their extensive travels Judy and he developed lifelong friendships with people around the world. In his heart, Jack was a North Dakota farm boy and spent the active years of his retired life living in the farmhouse where he was born. In summertime, he most enjoyed mowing the lawn with his dad’s old Farmall H, and in fall, the sight and sound of a flock of geese and his times hunting with family and friends energized him.
Jack is survived by sons Dan (Chiyo); Nathan (Jody); Steve (Deb); daughter Martha Falk (late husband John); grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and nieces and nephews.
The family wishes to express special thanks to Good Shepherd Lutheran Home in Sauk Rapids for their professional care shown to Jack these many years.

Bob Duea

Rd
Bob Duea, 85, of Sauk Rapids, formerly of Rice, died peacefully at Good Shepherd Community in Sauk Rapids Oct. 27, 2022. Funeral was 11 a.m. Nov. 4 at Immaculate Conception Church, 130 First Ave. NE, Rice, MN 56367; visitation one hour prior to the service. Williams Dingmann Funeral Home of Sauk Rapids is handling arrangements.
Robert Joseph Duea was born May 28, 1937. The third child of Arthur and Helen (Janochoski) Duea, Bob grew up in Rice.  When he was in his late teens in 1956, he started working at the St. Regis Paper Mill in Sartell, where he worked until retirement in 1999. He worked in the yard unloading logs from trucks for most of his career at the mill.
Bob loved to fish and hunt and spent time with friends and family, doing many outdoor activities throughout his life. He went spearfishing at Lake Winnibigoshish just about every year.He also spent just about every opening fishing weekend on one of the many lakes in central Minnesota in the Swanville and Upsala area. He also liked to take trips to the Kenora, Ontario, area many times over the years.  He was always searching for the best walleye spots as that was what he looked forward to while his kids would cast the shores for the northern pike that were more exciting to them.
Bob also joined the deer hunt that many of the Duea family would have in the Rice area, Bob was well known as the one who would always take the most difficult trails down along the Mississippi River with the thick underbrush and prickly ash; he would come out at the end of the hunt looking like he had just been through a war and was attacked by all the trees.
Bob was also involved in coaching little league baseball for many years in Rice.  
When Bob was in his middle 20s, he went on a blind date that his friend Lee Monk and Elaine Albright set them up on and he met Doris Ann Gavin from Leland, Illinois.  After dating for about a year, they were married Nov. 4, 1963. 
After that they built a home on 6 acres of land that Bob’s father had given them as a wedding gift.  Bob was born and raised on a farm with his family, so after he built his own home, he rented land and farmed for many years besides his full-time job at the paper mill.
Since getting married, Bob and Doris Ann were having difficulty having children, so tried the adoption route through Catholic Charities. In February 1968, they received a phone call from Catholic Charities about a child who was needing a home and on Feb. 28, 1968; they adopted a son and named him Joseph. Not long after adopting, they found themselves pregnant in late 1969, so on Aug. 4, 1970, they had Mark.
Bob spent the 1970s and most of the 1980s farming and working at the paper mill along with Doris Ann, raising Joe and Mark.  In about 1983, the land he rented was no longer available. He decided farming for a living for him was done. 
In 1999, Bob retired from the paper mill and he and Doris Ann sold their house in Rice and moved to the woods of Walker, where the wildlife he loved so much was waiting for him.
After spending many great years in Walker with many visits from their grandchildren, Bob had some health issues, and in 2018, Doris Ann and he sold their home in Walker and moved back to Rice where they enjoyed time with family and new and old friends. In spring 2022, they moved to Good Shepherd apartments in Sauk Rapids.
Robert Joseph Duea was preceded in death by his parents Arthur Dwight Duea, Helen Agnes Duea, and his brother John Oscar Duea. 
Bob is survived by his wife of 58 years, Doris Ann of Sauk Rapids; sons Joe (Francie) Duea of Farmington and Mark (Suzy) Duea of Sartell.
Grandchildren Adrian Alvarado of Minneapolis, Emilie Luscomb of Andrews, South Carolina, William Luscomb of Farmington, Alex Alvarado Farmington, Gavin Duea, Breanna Duea, Claire Duea and Jacob Duea, all of Sartell. Sisters Lillian Sowada of Seminole, Florida, Joann (Richard) Popp of North Branch, Betty Giewedik of Sartell, and Tom Duea of Rice.

Arthur DeLong

Ad
Arthur DeLong, a proud, independent, hard-working father, brother, grandfather and great-grandfather, died peacefully Oct. 26, 2022, in Sartell after a brief illness. He was 94.
Arthur was born in Morrill Township March 15, 1928, to Henry and Ida (Gruba) DeLong.
Arthur’s traumatic childhood during the Great Depression, as the fourth of five children, proved to be a significant factor in how he lived and worked for the rest of his life. His mother died when he was a year old, and his father remarried and moved, leaving Arthur and his siblings, Anastasia, Frank, John and Richard behind. Arthur was taken in by a neighbor, where he lived until eighth grade when he headed to Texas by train to work on a ranch. He later returned to Minnesota to care for his brother after he was injured during World War II, and then he left for North Dakota to work on a ranch until the Korean War.
In October 1950, Arthur entered the United States Army, to serve in the Korean War, until July 1953. He reached the rank of drill sergeant in Company I, 21st Infantry Regiment, 24th Infantry Division. He was awarded the Korean Service Medal, two Bronze Stars, the UN Service Medal and a Purple Heart. Arthur remained in the Ready Reserves until 1956. His pride in serving his country was constant throughout his life.
He married Vivian Probasco in Hillman March 14, 1953. They met because Vivian’s sister Ethelyn was married to Arthur’s brother, Frank. After Vivian passed away in 1973, Arthur dedicated himself to caring for their four children: Steve, Dana, Sandra and Tim.
Art worked a variety of jobs, including a stint with his brother John in the Longyear Iron Mines in Hibbing, running a resort in Pequot Lakes, as a butter-maker in a creamery, as a Pinkerton Guard, and finally, as a high school custodian in Sartell, a job he enjoyed until his retirement.
Even though he worked, Arthur’s children were always his focus. He took his daughter Dana with him in the creamery truck on weekends. He cooked for the family, rotating through recipes like goulash, hamburger rice hot dish and pancake dinners on Sundays. Art’s incredible vegetable garden yielded produce for his canning, and his frozen corn recipe is still shared throughout the family. He tucked his famous chocolate chip cookies into his kids’ lunches, with an industrious Tim selling his at school. Rather than be upset with Tim, Art was impressed others liked his cookies enough to pay for them.
Once his children were grown, Art married Betty Golembeski Jan. 17, 1998. Her children, Ruth, Vicki, Debra, Nancy and Judy became part of the family.
Art had a soft spot for babies, animals and flowers. Along with visits to see his siblings, his favorite trips were to Bend, Oregon, and Big Fork. Art loved fishing with Betty. His dog, Spike, was his constant companion, and every Christmas they shared a box of chocolate covered cherries. He enjoyed wood carving, especially eagles and dolphins. Passersby came to Art’s door just to compliment his amazing gardens and yard full of beautiful roses and hibiscus, and he happily gave full tours. He was a country music purist, favoring the classics like Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Lefty Frizzell, and Hank Williams. An unforgettable highlight for Art was his son-in-law Dave treating him to a Highwaymen concert.
Arthur’s goal in life was to be a reliable, honorable and present father because this was missing in his own childhood. He was deeply proud of owning his own home instead of renting. His kids knew, without a doubt, he was always there for them. Family: his siblings, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were his world.
Arthur is survived by his children, Steve DeLong, of Cape Coral, Florida, Dana (Dave) Botz, of Waverly, Sandra (Joel) Burski, of Rice, and Tim (Jill) DeLong, of St. Cloud; his grandchildren, Dax DeLong, of Barcelona, Spain, Alex (Beckie) Botz, of Buffalo, Craig Burski, of Rice, and Callum DeLong, of St. Cloud; his great-grandchildren Maci, Piper, Blair and Tate Botz, of Buffalo; his stepchildren Ruth Butkowski, of St. Cloud, Vickie (Robert) Neils, of Sauk Rapids, Debra (Norbert) Popp, of Rice, Nancy (James) Steffen, of Sauk Rapids, and Judy Turck, of Farmington, and numerous step-grandchildren and step-great-grandchildren; his sister-in-law, Bonnie Faust, of Pierz; his brother-in-law, Leon Probasco, of Pierz; and many nieces and nephews.
Arthur was preceded in death by his parents; his wife Vivian in 1973 and their baby George; his wife Betty, on June 29, 2022; his siblings, Anastasia, Frank, John, Richard and his half-brother, Jack.
Arthur wished to be laid to rest alongside fellow veterans. Burial was 1 p.m. Oct. 31 at Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery, 15550 MN-115, Little Falls. Arrangements are entrusted to Williams Dingmann Family Funeral Homes, Sauk Rapids.
Art’s family would appreciate donations in his memory to the Sauk Rapids VFW Post 6992, 901 N. Benton Drive, Sauk Rapids, MN, 56379.
A father is the one friend upon whom we can always rely.
