| Victim of Life's Circumstances  |
Just got the news that longtime forum member rburg has passed away. Dick was a true gun guy and was a wonderful instigator at Kentucky gun shows - he kept things lively. RIP ol buddy https://www.ronaldbjones.com/obituaries/richard-burg Richard "Dick" Burg January 20, 1948 — April 17, 2026 West Covington Listen to Obituary Richard “Dick” Carl Burg, 78, of Covington, Kentucky, passed away on April 17, 2026, surrounded by his loving family. Dick was born on January 20, 1948, to John and Louise (Krombach) Burg. He built a life centered around family, quiet strength, and a deep commitment to those he loved. He is survived by his beloved wife of 56 years, Theresa Burg (née Valent), his sons, Steven Burg (Gina) and Jeffrey Burg (Andrea) , and his brother, Tom Burg (Pat). Dick was a proud grandfather to Brady (Brittany), Alexis (Jack), Tyler, Alyssa, Luke, Alexandra, and Max, and a great-grandfather to Creed. His family was the center of his world, and he took great joy in watching it grow across generations. A man of few words, Dick showed his love through his actions, providing for his family and always being a steady, reliable presence. He cherished his role as a grandfather and found great pride and happiness in his grandchildren. Dick retired from Topicz, Inc. in 2010, where he served as an Information Technology Manager for 20 years. He was respected for his dedication and steady work ethic throughout his career. Dick had a lifelong passion for off-roading and adventure. Over the years, he owned several Jeeps and led many trails through Moab, Utah, and the mountains of Colorado. He was a dedicated member of the IOK Jeep Four Wheelers Club for over 40 years, where he served on the board and in various leadership roles, forming lasting friendships along the way. Dick will be remembered for his dedication to his family, and the many memories created both at home and out on the trails. He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Louise Burg. Per Dick’s wishes, there will be no formal funeral service or celebration of life. In true reflection of his adventurous spirit, he requested that his sons take his remains off-road … destination to be determined. ________________________ God spelled backwards is dog | ||

I always loved to read his posts. Whether about firearms or Jeeps, he was an expert. He will be missed. ... stirred anti-clockwise. | |||

Dick was a character. He even had a short-lived reality TV series on the Discovery Channel: Next Door Dick Seriously, I knew him for many years and he will be missed. It's funny- I never knew his age until now, but the way you'd hear Dick tell it, he was well past 100. He'd say "I'm old. I mean I'm REALLY old." He spoke his mind, and that's a fact, and if he were here, he'd tell you so. | |||

I'm going to really miss the crusty bastard. Which is said with love, and great respect. Farewell Rburg, you were a character.

Damn. When I moved to Cincinnati in 2002, Dick showed up to help me move in. Never met him in real life, just on the Forum. I didn't ask him for help, just asked Cincy folks for advice on where to live in the city. He just showed up. Really helpful guy. Haven't corresponded with him in years.

+1 He will be missed. Always enjoyed his crusty posts. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

I’ve thought of him and his absence from the forum often. He just seemed like a salt of the earth kind of guy that knew how to live without taking life too seriously. I think my favorite story of his was when he was trying to sell a collectible ash try of some sort for like $5 at a gun show or flea market or something similar. Some guy kept coming over to him and offering a quarter and being a pest about it as well. Finally at the end of the show the guy came up to him and despite Dick offering to sell the ash tray for like $2, the guy asked if Dick was ready to take that quarter for the ash tray yet. Dick’s response was to smash the ash tray with a hammer. The guy was taken aback and asked why he would smash the ash tray like that, it was worth almost $100 or something like that. Dick responded that he should have bought it for $2 then. I will miss him and his stories. RIP Dick. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||
