CEDAR FALLS - Richard B. "Rick" Eblen, 60, of Cedar Falls, died Sunday, Nov. 14, 2010, at the Western Home Communities Thalman Square, from complications of frontotemporal dementia.

He was born July 25, 1950, in Wichita, Kan., the son of Roy E. and Charlene "Mac" (McFadden) Eblen.

He graduated from Cedar Falls High School in 1968, and earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn., in 1972. He was employed with Archetypes, and Summit Door in St. Paul, as a custom cabinet, furniture and door maker, retiring in 2006.

Rick had skilled hands always ready to help a friend. He played softball for over 20 years with the Blue Birds, a St. Paul municipal league team. He was a fan of Rock and Roll, and a dedicated model railroader. Rick enjoyed traveling to national parks, and delighted in photography both on the road and at home. He also enjoyed biking and was an avid golfer. Above all, Rick liked working with his hands.

Survivors include his mother of Cedar Falls; a brother, David (Susan) Eblen of Downers Grove, Ill.; a sister, Kathleen Eblen Beers of Inverness, Fla.; and nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his father.

A gathering is planned for later in St. Paul. Richardson Funeral Home, Cedar Falls, is assisting the family.

Memorials may be directed to the Western Home Foundation.
