Richard "Dick" Ginnold

so saddened to hear this news. We knew Dick from being a loyal customer of ours. We own an appliance store here in Eugene and Dick would come in quite often looking for appliances for his numerous rental properties. He was a kind and generous man, and literally brilliant. I gathered all of this info just by talking with this man over the many years he came to our store. We will see him again someday in " paradise" as he calls it. Our deepest sympathy to his loved ones. Joels Appliance...

My father was a wonderful man, partner, husband, father, friend, uncle, grandfather. He was involved as a granddad, taking every opportunity to visit or go on an adventure together with his grandchildren. And, he loved to share his ideas about things and he was wise. We will miss him very much.

Here are Dad's words of advice to his granddaughter and my niece, Alexandra Ginnold, on the occasion of her 8th Grade Graduation, and Alexandra's message which she posted on...

Dear Julie and Dick's family,
The memorial service today for Dick was so special.Everyone had something to say that meant a great deal in helping to know Dick better. I wish I had known what a brilliant man he was when he was alive. He accomplished so much...gave so much. I'm sure I'll think of him more now that he's gone than I did when he was alive. After the service today I got some groceries. The clerk asked me if I cared to give a donation to a certain charity. I gave my usual...

I was shocked to see this obit. Dick and I went to gradeschool and highschool in Spokane and were good friends. I went on the Eugene Police Dept. in 1966 and retired in 1992. I wish I had known Dick was living in Eugene we could have relived a lot of great memories. We now live in Yuma, AZ for the last 12 years after travelling in a RV for 9 years. Our 3 children still live in Eugene. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless - George Morton

Hi Julie,family and friends of Dick,
I was so sorry to read of Dick's passing in today's paper. He was quite a guy! He made me laugh! He sometimes was my tennis partner when we each played at Willow Creek. We had lots of fun matches, some especially memorable. Yes he was a sweet guy and will be missed. It's nice he found "the love of his life" as he told me one day.
