Richard Aman Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 12, 2018.

Richard L. "Dick" Aman, 86, of Lakewood Ranch, FL formerly of Oak Park, IL and Pines Lake, NJ, entered into rest on Jan. 11, 2018. Dick was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He proudly served in the United States Navy aboard the USS Midway for four years and was an avid nature photographer and scuba diver for many years. Dick's respect for the ocean environment was evident in his 21 years of volunteer service at the Mote Marine Laboratory as a docent at the Marine Mammal Center.

Dick is survived by his loving wife of 60 years Carolyn "Kay"; their children, Rick (Mary Jo) Aman of NJ; Michelle (Chris) Koutras of Land O'Lakes; Erica (Scott) Bacon of Lakewood Ranch; and grandchildren, Laurin and Craig Aman; Alec (Kelsey) and Gavin Bacon; Nicole and Melina Koutras; Dick's brother, Ted and many friends.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Mote Marine Laboratory, Sarasota, FL; Mote.org or Fenwick High School, Oak Park, IL; Fenwickfriars.com.

I spent High School looking up with awe at Dick Aman's skill as a diver, one of the best in the country. (I took up breaststroke instead.) I lost track of him after graduation and was pleased to see that we're both Navy veterans. He was an inspiration, and I look forward to telling him so when next we meet.

Dick was an extraordinary person. At Fenwick High School, Oak Park, IL, he excelled as one of the best spring-board divers in the state, and was a significant force in Fenwick swim teams repeatedly winning swim championships. I wish to convey my deepest sympathy to his entire family.

Dearest Kay & Family--I am so very sorry for your loss. Dick was a dear friend, always had a ready smile, a warm hug to give, will miss him so very much. New Year's will never the same without him! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.
With deepest sympathy,
