Rick Choff

Rick Choff, 70 of Butler passed away on January 30th after a courageous four and a half year long battle with cancer. Rick was born in Butler in 1949 to his late mother Lucy Choff. He was an extremely hard – working man his entire life. Rick was known to be kind, compassionate, caring and loving, while often being very sarcastic. He was a devoted husband and a wonderful father. Above all, he showed his family how much he loved and appreciated them on a daily basis. His life’s motto was “this is a temporary inconvenience for permanent improvement”, as was his struggle with cancer to meet his Lord. Rick was the beloved husband of Blanche (Thompson) Choff whom he had been with for nearly 30 years. Father of Kelly (Lane) Jewart, Keith Choff, Lori (Tom) Maihle, Lloyd Schnur, Ray (Kelly) Schnur and Shayna (DJ) Campbell. He is also survived by 9 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren.
