Richard Chandler Obituary

August 24, 1938 - May 19, 2016 Richard (Dick) Chandler passed away at his home in Carlsbad, with his family by his side. He was born in Wyoming and moved to the Los Angeles area in the 1950's. He and his business partner started Media Lithographics, a business that continued until his retirement in 2010. He enjoyed trips to the cabin in Colorado, where he loved to watch the deer and elk on the property. He was an avid USC fan and always looked forward to football season and tailgating with friends. He is survived by his wife Anita, daughter Teri & husband Stacey Williams, son Kevin, granddaughter Brittany & husband Omid Rahimi, great-granddaughter Ava Rahimi, step children, Lisa Bjornestad & husband John Hamala, grandchildren, Jack & Madison Hamala, Carol Bjornestad and grandson, Brady. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather to the children, and he loved sharing stories about them. They always looked forward to his visits. He will be missed by his family and many friends. No service is planned, but donations may be made to the ALS Association in his name at alscolorado.org.

Richard

Some years ago I spontaneously toasted you as the best of the several Grandfathers at the table - appropriate at the time, yet only one example of the man who lived large while embracing everyone and sharing himself along the way.

While searching my thoughts for something more about you to hold high, to remember, and to share. I realized that you were always the man at the table who made time for people.

So, Richard - another toast to you: To Richard, the rare human being at the table who makes time to do the right thing.

Sadly for us, while you have raised our awareness, we are without a successor to you, without someone who easily transcends pleasantries to make time available to offer kindnesses, caring, and courtesy.

Richard, you will be with us and long remembered every time we follow your example, everything we make our time and ourselves available to the people we care about.

And, Richard, I wish for your courage and grace.
