Mr. Richard Gregory Ballintine

June 21, 1946 - June 19, 2021

Ballintine, Richard G. Age 74, of Eden Prairie, MN and Hoover, AL, born June 21, 1946 and died June 19, 2021. Preceded in death by parents John C. Ballintine and Doris Ballintine. After completing ROTC while at the University of Minnesota and serving in the Air Force during the Vietnam war, Rick earned his MBA, worked at the Federal Reserve in Minneapolis, and was the VP and CFO of Rosemount, Inc. for many years. Rick also served with high distinction in the Air Force reserves for 26 years, retiring as a full colonel, and was awarded the Legion of Merit. He was a devout Christian his entire life, serving many roles in his church homes, including Christ the King in Bloomington, Hunter Street in Hoover and St. Andrew Lutheran in Eden Prairie. He was also on the boards of several charities, including the Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans. He was a brilliant and loving man, and wonderful husband, father, grandfather, son, brother and friend to many, who always thought of others before himself. Though he dealt with many medical issues the last decade of his life which he did not deserve, he never complained and his faith in Christ never faltered. His incredible spirit of warmth and kindness lives on in the hearts of his family and all who knew him, and he will be greatly missed. Rick is survived by his wife of 53 years, Judy, sons Dan (Sherri) and Jim (Tonia), grandchildren Lillian, Brooks, Jacob and Luke, brother Bob (Mary), and many other relatives and friends.
