Mr/Mrs Richard L. Frish

With tears in my eyes and pain in my heart, I say goodbye to my dad, Richard (Dick) L Frish (89), and momma, Terry K Frish aka Clark (81); both residents of Cody Wyoming for more than 30 years. They shared over 60 years of love and life, with both passing away peacefully at different times -Richard 11-2-2025 and Terry 2-6-2023- their obituary is combined the same way their love and life was always "together".

Born in Chicago Dick, was a dedicated salesman for years and known for his qualities to talk and the gift of gab to sell almost anything. Terry, born in Lovell did bookkeeping, but mostly spent her time as a passionate wife and Mother; being a homemaker and partner to her husband. They owned a business in Cody for many years, Frish's Home Center, providing beautiful mobile homes for the residents of northern Wyoming. They shared interest in watching movies, traveling to different places and spending time with family and friends; which brought them great joy.

They met in Orange County California at a night club in the early 1960's. The story goes -and told many times- as … Dick made a bet with his buddies that he could get a dance with Terry so he asked Terry's friend first! Well his plan worked and he got the trust of her friend, opening the door to that famous dance! Unsure how much the bet was for however, Dick won his way into her heart after many visits to the club, where Terry would perform, singing songs like: "Sincerely" by The McGuire Sisters, "Crazy" by Patsy Cline and their most favorite song "Blue Velvet".

With different life events for both of them -they finally were together in 1970 and married 11-11-77 after building a life filled with laughter, adventure, and devotion to each other which included their four Pomeranian puppy's.

They are survived by their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and friends.

There will not be a memorial service planned as they both requested everyone just to be happy for them and the beautiful life they built together! And said they thought funeral services were sad and gory. So, please celebrate this time that they reunite their love and souls for eternity "somewhere over the rainbow".
