After more than five decades of adding beauty to our community, Rick Bode is retiring! Since 1970, Rick has shared his incredible talent, creativity, and passion through countless stunning floral arrangements that have touched so many lives in Fond du Lac.
Rick is truly one of the finest floral designers in the area, and our community has been so fortunate to have him. While we were only lucky enough to work alongside him for a small part of his remarkable career, the knowledge, inspiration, and artistry he shared with us are absolutely priceless.
As we celebrate Rick and this well-earned retirement, we would love your help honoring him! If you have a favorite memory, story, or photo of Rick โ or an arrangement he created for you โ please share it in the comments.
Letโs flood this post with all the beauty Rick has brought to our little town and remind him just how loved, appreciated, and missed he will be!
