Richard Rabel Obituary
After graduating, Dick and Mimi moved to Poulsbo where he spent his professional career as an Electrical Engineer for the Department of Defense at Keyport. Dick also completed an MBA from the University of Puget Sound.
Dick was kind and generous man; he was a devoted husband and father to four daughters. He
was a member of St. Olaf and St. Cecilia Catholic Churches, and in his spare time enjoyed golfing, sharing early dinners with his wife at the Green Light Diner, encouraging others to continue their education, and, most of all, being 'Papa' to his eight beloved grandkids.
Dick is preceded in death by his father, George. Dick's memory will be cherished by his wife
of 48 years, Mimi; mother, Irene; daughters, Carrie (Guillermo), Beth (Darin), Tricia (Doug), and Emily; brothers, Michael, Jeff, and Don; sister, Janet; and grandchildren, Jacques, Bella, William, Rourke, Abigail, Olivia, Lucas, and Theo. A memorial mass will be held at St. Cecilia Catholic Church on Bainbridge Island on January 2, 2020 at 11:00 AM. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to North Kitsap Fishline. An online memorial can be seen at

I met Dick in 1991 when I moved to Keyport from Kauai. Dick shared a cubicle with me and he was really generous with his time and advice showing this newbie his beloved Pacific Northwest. I enjoyed shooting the bull with him and getting his advice on the best places to eat out and vacation. I'll miss him and thought of him as a good friend. Clarence Ching, Port Orchard, WA
