Dick was born July 11, 1936, at his grandparents’ home, the first place west of the Mitchell Road on Highway 9, the son of Elroy and Alda (Ahrens) Krahn. He attended Cedar #11 Country School, west of Osage, through the fourth grade and started attending Osage schools in the fifth grade.
Dick was united in marriage to Rosella Maas on September 27, 1959, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Osage. He was employed for 46 years, retiring in 2004, from the John Deere Implement in Osage. During those 46 years, there were four changes of ownership, and the first owner was Dick’s father.
Dick was a lifetime member of Trinity Lutheran Church, being baptized in 1936, confirmed in 1950 and he served on the church council and board of trustees for many years. Dick enjoyed rebuilding two-cylinder tractors, doing family genealogy, woodworking, working on the many projects he built and most of all playing pool every Thursday with a fun group of guys. He also loved giving his grandchildren a hard time.
