Richard was born on February 18, 1944 in Grand Junction, Colorado, to Willard E. and Lola (Batchelor) Case. He was the oldest of four children. Dick graduated from Central High School in May, 1962. After graduation he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and completed his basic training in Great Lakes, IL in August of 1963. He then was transferred to San Diego, CA aboard the USS England until his honorable discharge in 1969. Upon his return, Dick was employed as a laborer by Corn Construction, Inc. In March, 1973 he took a position with the City of Grand Junction Water Department, where he worked his way up to Superintendent and held that position until his retirement in June of 1995. Although he retired, Dick could not stay still for long, and took on work as a truck driver, welder, and fabricator among other positions to keep himself busy. Dick married his one and only love, Mary Jo Caldwell, on March 13, 1965 in Clifton, CO. They enjoyed raising their only child, Timothy A. Case, spending much of their time camping, fishing, hunting, and working on cars. Dick had many talents and interests. He earned many Pro-Marksman, and Sharpshooter awards in the Junior NRA competitions. He also enjoyed rebuilding cars and competed in stock car races around the grand valley from 1974-1976. Dick was a member of the NRA and Grand Junction Moose Lodge #270, but his favorite pastime was being with his granddaughters and great-granddaughter. He will be greatly missed. Dick is preceded in death by his father, Willard E. Case; and his wife, Mary Jo Case. He is survived by his mother, Lola Case; brothers: William (Gayla) Case and Leland Case; sister, Wanda Hutchison; son, Timothy (Sarah) Case; granddaughters: Brittany (Kody) Thurston and Kaylin Case; and great-granddaughter, Hailey Thurston.
