Richard Frank, known as "Dick", passed away at home on April 26, 2023, at the age of 83.
Dick, a Colorado native, was born on December 31, 1939, in Denver and grew up to be a cheerful and respected member of his community. He was an avid fisherman, a baseball coach, and a loyal Colorado sports fan. He was also a successful local businessman and enjoyed his long career as a highly respected electrical estimator.
Dick is survived by his loving wife Carolyn, his sons Christopher and Timothy (and wife Alisa), and his daughter Marleen (and husband Darren Wren). He was also a proud grandfather to Alex, Andrew, Austin, Abigail, and Charlotte.
