RICHARD DENNIS "DICK" GRANGE

I remember when I was just a wee little one, every time we were there he was out in his shop tinkering one something. The only time he would come into the house was to eat and then he was right back out there. I never saw a time when he did not have at least one other out there just working their jaws and hands. He was a fine man that anyone would have been been blessed to have known.

I had the honor of calling Airman Richard Grange "friend".
My story begins 32 years ago in a european train station with a "chance" encounter with a girl who changed my life forever. The journey to Dick's friendship began at that seminal moment of meeting my destiny. Late last year I pursued my heart's calling left my lakeside cabin,said goodbye to friends and my midwestern life.
Upon arriving,in the northwest,my life's love introduced me to the family Grange. The man we honor is...

Its hard to express the words how special dick was to us kids back in the day, he always welcomed us to comb through his treasures and never turned us away, my most memorable thing was the old vespa cars that didnt run, we would push them up the hill and ride them down each time trying to get a faster run and so dick joined in with the tractor and helped us after we couldnt push anymore, he was so proud of his beautiful margie he would share photos of their early days and...

Mr. Grange...that is what we would called him in the many months that were spent down at the land that we rented for the horses. There was always a smile upon his face and glimmer in his eye that I will always remember. I am thankful to have known him and will cherish the memories! Shelly J Vancouver, WA

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Grange. {that's all I ever called him}He was so funny and so nice and he never forgot who we were. The last time I seen Grange was at my parents funeral last Oct. He looked good. I have known Grange all my life. He will be missed. Now he is in heaven and chatting up with Charlie Hammer and his brother Merrill. It is so hard to loose someone who means so much to you and it leaves a big whole. Take care you wonderful people and God bless you all....

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

So sorry to hear about your loss. Dick was a great man, always giving of himself to help others. He had this great smile when he spoke to you and a wonderful personality. I loved listening to his stories. He loved to tinker in his garage and I bet he's up there now creating something special for the angels. My prayers are with you Marge and family. God bless you all.

I worked with Dick at Western Electric, such a great guy. He will be missed. May God comfort you all in your loss.
