Dick was predeceased by his brother John in 1998 and his daughter Pam in 2012. He is survived by his loving wife of nearly 70 years, LaVelle. He is also survived by brother Carl, of Bakersfield, Calif.; son-in-law Ron Moffitt of Redmond; grandson Kit Moffitt and wife Charlotte Scofield of Mount Vernon, Wash.; grandson Kurt Moffitt and wife Jenni Moffitt of Redmond; and two great-grandchildren, Kelsie and Tanner of Redmond.
