Richard Dahlgard

Although I didn't get to know Dick as well as I would have liked, my young life was greatly impacted by his selfless contributions to the Hi-Liners program. As a young performer, I always was aware of Dick Dahlgard's support of the arts and his ever-present smile from behind his camera. Thank you, Dick, you will be well missed.

Nels - Although I only met Dick on a few occasions, his contributions to the community speak a great deal about his character. Losing a Father is difficult, but please accept my family's condolences during this time, and be sure to pass them to your sisters.

Dick and I went through high school together and became best friends.
He was my best man when I got married, the god-father to my two oldest boys. We hunted and fished together and had many happy times together. He will be greatly missed, my condolences to the family.

Dear Nels:

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your father. I know what a great loss this is not only for you but for your entire family. The Obituary paid a great tribute to a man that did a lot in the short period of time he was with us. May his memory be everlasting - Mary Koumantaros (Petros and Yannis' mom)

I TOOK PHOTOGRAPHY WITH DICK IN HIGH SCHOOL HE WAS MORE INTERESTED IN IT THAN I WAS. BUT WE HAD A GREAT TIME TOGETHER. WE KEPT IN TOUCH OVER THE YEARS. WE WILL MISS HIM VERY MUCH.

"Uncle" Dick (as he was known to my brothers and I) and my father were best friends since high school, hence why we all called him Uncle. Uncle Dick was always around when I was growing up and there never seemed to be a Christmas Eve that he did not share with our family. I remember that he would bring us gift and they would always be wrapped in the Sunday comics. Uncle Dick was my first employer as I worked the photo finishing counter during my high school days. Always willing to work around...

The photo industry has lost a great friend, supporter and colleague. You will be sorely missed by all. My best to all your family.

My husband and I bid on and won a camera at the Highline High School baseball team auction the year the team went to New York. As soon as we won the bid, a man came over to our table and said; "if you have any questions about the camera, come in and see me. I will be happy to show you how to use it and all of its features." He left his card. It was from Dick's Camera. I asked someone who that was and they said; "Dick." I couldn't believe it. Not only did he donate one of his best...

The families of the Satterlee South Dakota cousins send our heartfelt sympathies to Dick's children and also to Karen, Daryl and Kris. Dick was so good about keeping in contact with our family which we all appreciated. We will treasure the memories of our visit with him and the family in Seattle last summer.
