Richard Clarence Rusthoven

Richard C. (Dick) Rusthoven, 76, was called "Home" on December 5, 2016, after a long battle with cancer.

Dick had a successful career in the retail business, which included executive leadership of numerous department stores and discount chains.  He and his wife retired to Sarasota, Florida and Highlands, NC.

His love and devotion to his LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST was his greatest joy!  His family and friends surrounded him with love and support throughout his journey.  He left a lasting legacy of being thankful for GOD's abundant grace and blessings, finding strength in prayer.  He greatly anticipated the joy of Eternity.

Dick is survived by his loving wife Lauralyn and the "apples of his eye', his four children:  Elizabeth Rusthoven Levine (Mark), Dirk Rusthoven (Halina), Dr. Kyle Rusthoven (Elizabeth), Dr. Chad Rusthoven plus three wonderful grandchildren and an adoring granddog.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial contribution may be made to:  Community Bible Church Mission Fund, 3645 Cashiers Road, Highlands, NC  28741.

Bryant‑Grant Funeral Home is serving the Rusthoven family.  Online condolences may be made at bryantgrantfuneralhome.com.
