NORA SPRINGS, IOWA - Richard "Tony" A. Severe, 51, of 1715 Red Ball Road, Nora Springs, died Tuesday, September 8, 2009, at the Muse Norris Hospice Inpatient Unit, Mason City, after a nine-month courageous battle with cancer at home with his family.

A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12, at the Hogan Bremer Moore Colonial Chapel, 126 Third St. N.E., Mason City, with Pastor Ed Bard officiating.

Tony was an employee of Curries for 29 years, which he loved. In his spare time he enjoyed spending time with his wife, daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren. He was also an avid hunter that loved the outdoors. Tony was involved with trumpeter swan restoration, which he also enjoyed.

Tony was preceded in death by his grandparents, Leroy (Helen) Severe and Ted (Margaret) Arndt; his father-in-law, Earl Hinrichsen, his infant daughter, Jennifer, and special friend, Paul Lipp.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Ted (Bev) Arndt for helping them through this difficult time.
