  Richard or “Dick” as he was lovingly known by his friends and family lived life to the fullest. He had the biggest most caring heart, and was known for his generosity and kindness. In his youth he played five varsity sports for the mighty Caldwell Hornets, and then continued his football career for NAU in Flagstaff, Arizona. To his son Eric he left his legacy of the best barbecue you’ve ever tasted. He always had a deep love for golf as well and shared that passion with his step-daughter Lauren.

   Dick served his country in the Army and Air National Guard. He then moved back to Caldwell and continued his career in the oil and gas industry. Dick met and married the love of his life, Lori and they shared a love like no other, true soul mates. They were married 30 wonderful years.

    Dick suffered from dementia for the last several years of his life. Lori always went above and beyond to ensure his care and quality of life was unmatched. His loving smile, and warm hugs will be dearly missed by all, but we find comfort in the fact that he is home in Heaven and free of his earthly burdens.
