DICK, Richard A., age 85, of South Lebanon and formerly of Waynesville, passed away Sunday, November 29, 2020 at Bethesda North Hospital. Richard was a United States Army veteran. He retired from System Research Laboratories after 30 years of service. He was a member of the South Lebanon First Church of God. Kind-hearted, giving, and loving, Richard was fun to be around and loved God. He was quite handy and enjoyed fixing things around the house, even building his own home in recent years. He loved playing the guitar and singing, mainly gospel music in church. Some of his favorite memories included traveling back home to Hinton, West Virginia for his elementary school class reunions. Among many things, he will be remembered for his love of the mountains of West Virginia and taking car journeys to see the fall foliage. He was preceded in death by his parents Hobert and Maycle Dick; his brother Jack Dick; and sister Dorothy Walker. He is survived by his wife, Shelby; three sons Curtis Dick, Kenneth (Karen) Adkins, and Tim Colyer; three daughters Faye (Jim) Gibson, Yvonne Dick, and Sherry (Donald) Padgett; nine grandchildren; and nine great grandchildren.
