Survivors include his wife of 54 years, Mary Ann of Shelby; his four children, Peggy Lee (Daniel) Decker, Penny Rae (Kirby) Underdahl, John Leslie (Amy) Potter and Jana Jo Richards; 10 grandchildren, Andrew Don Decker, Darby LouAnn Decker, Joren (Nancy) Underdahl, Kirsten (Kyle) Kearns, Amy Ann Underdahl, Dominique Jo Underdahl, Courtney Ann Potter, Rose Naomi Potter, Jacob Leslie Richards and Jordan Elizabeth-Ann Richards; five great-grandchildren, Hunter and Abbey Underdahl and Lauren, Layne and Kade Kearns; a sister, Evelyn Dorothy Fagg; a brother, Melvin Wilbur Potter; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. Dick was born Jan. 8, 1934, in Cresbard, S.D., to Leslie Earl and Dorothy (Bent) Potter. He received his elementary education in Aberdeen, S.D., and San Jose, Calif. He graduated from Central High School in Aberdeen, and attended Aberdeen Northern State Teachers College, where he majored in accounting and architectural engineering. He came to Montana and worked for the Montana Forest Service and later was employed in the accounting department of International Harvester Company in Great Falls. Being interested in sales, he became a truck and equipment representative for IHC, covering several districts in Montana. He married Mary Ann Mital on Nov. 22, 1953, in Great Falls. He retired from the IHC and was an insurance agent before going on to manage IHC Truck and Equipment in Miles City. The family moved to Shelby in 1969, where they owned and operated the O'Haire Manor Motel and the Rainbow Hotel. He sold these interests and purchased the Shelby Rainbow Ford-Mercury car/truck dealership. He later sold the dealership due to health issues. Richard was a baptized Methodist. He served in the U.S. Naval Reserves from 1951, and was honorably discharged in 1970. He was a member and served as president of the Shelby Chamber of Commerce, Shelby Merchants Committee, and served as a Shelby City councilman. He was also a member of the U.S. Highway 2 Association, Montana Innkeepers Association, the National and Montana Auto Dealers associations, and a lifelong member of the Elks Lodge. He enjoyed hunting pheasant and wild turkey. He also was an avid collector of western bronzes and Jim Beam bottles. He loved automobiles and designing, renovating and building structures. He had a master mind in architectural design and mathematics. His greatest passion, however, was the love of his family. He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, Delmar Earl and Donald LeRoy Potter; and an infant grandson, Brady Gerald Decker. Burial will be in Hillcrest Lawn Memorial, Great Falls.
