Richard or Dick as he was called started working for the Georgetown Sand and Gravel when he was 17. He worked for 50+ years for them and loved every day he was there. Dick lived with his favorite Aunt Marion (Bailey) Nunan and her husband Ken for a few years after he sold his house. For the last 39 years, Dick lived with his cousin Donna and her family. Dick watched Donna’s children, Corey Robbins and Amanda Brown grow into young adults. Then he had the joy of watching Tucker and Dakota grow and play every day. They are the children of Amanda and her husband Patrick Brown.

Dick would tell his doctors that he was living a long, healthy life because he got to spend time with his young cousins. Besides Dakota and Tucker, he spent time with Masen Nunan, who would give him a haircut on occasion.

Dick was predeceased by his cousins Bettyann (Nunan) Dole, Kenny Nunan Jr and Adam Nunan.

Dick leaves behind a large family of cousins including Kenny’s wife Mary and son Mark.

The list goes on with an additional 38 spouses and children of his cousins.
