Lefty was a three-sport star at St. Paul's Washington High School and received his Bachelors Degree from the University of Minnesota. Dick spent most of his career at Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant. He was an avid Twins and Gophers fan, and had all the answers to their woes. He traveled the Twin Cities supporting his grandchildren's activities and sporting events. He knew every word to every Christmas carol and was known for skipping a few pages of his annual Christmas story reading. And no meal was complete without a double dessert. The family wishes to thank hospice caregivers Fumiko Opland and Melanie Rachel. Memorial Service 11:30 AM Thursday, July 18, (Visitation 10:00 -11:30 AM) at HOLCOMB-HENRY-BOOM-PURCELL, 515 W.
