BROOKLYN - Dr. Richard "Dick" Buescher passed away on November 20, 2024, in Brooklyn, Wis. Born on May 13, 1942, Richard's life was marked by dedication and warmth, leaving a lasting impact on all who knew him.

Richard pursued higher education at Miami University of Ohio and earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from The Ohio State University. For 44 years, he practiced dentistry in the U.S. Army then Dental Health Associates in Madison, where his gentle touch and expertise transformed the lives of countless patients.

In addition to his professional achievements, Richard served honorably in the U.S. Army, exemplifying duty and honor. He shared a lifelong bond with his beloved wife, Sally, with whom he recently celebrated 55 years of marriage.

He also found joy in motorcycling, snowmobiling, and restoring classic cars. An animal lover, he cared for many cats, dogs, horses, and even a donkey.

A wonderful friend and dentist. Dick and I practiced at Dental Health Associates together for many years. His warmth and caring was evident with his patients, friends, family and especially animals. He was one of a kind and will be missed very much. Greg Samuels

Dick was always very thoughtful and generous when I arrived at Dental Health Associates in 1985. From helping with car repairs to taking me on a plane ride and offering sage advice when needed he was a great mentor to me. Greg Sobczak
