GULLICKSON, Richard Harry, born on October 26, 1915, and passed away January 26, 2006, after bravely fighting pneumonia for six weeks.
He was our dad and we loved him so very much. Because of his cute sense of humor and his knack for story telling about his life he had many friends. Our dad, Richard was an artist who painted many beautiful paintings and incorporated his talent through his successful business, Western Match Company. Daddy was a great golfer with a 6 handicap and he made four holes in one.
He met the love of his life, our mother Janet, in April of 1942, and they married three weeks later on May 15th. It was a match made in heaven and they were happily married for 61 years until her death two years ago. They were an inspiration to us by the way they showed their love for one another.
Richard is survived by his two daughters; Karen (Steve) Jones, Laurie (Ben) Brubaker, 6 grandchildren; Debra (Kim) Gallagher, Kimberly (Mark) Ackerman, Gregory (Jen) Jones, Christine (Brian) Carney, Michelle (Cary) Epstein, Angela (Jamie) Cochran, 12 great-grandchildren; Orion and Jason Gallagher, Alissa, Brittney, Jessica and Princeton Ackerman, Summer Jones, Pierce and Grant Carney, Andee Epstein and Lacey and Jaden Cochran.
