It is with deep love and cherished memory that we announce the passing of Richard "Dick" Becker, age 94, who left us peacefully on May 30, 2025. Born on June 7, 1930 in Granville, PA, to the late, Charles and Benita Becker. Richard lived a long life, starting his career in engineering and eventually leading to a career in his true love for antiquing. Richard is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Florence Murphy Becker; daughter, Lisa Willson; son-in-law, Gary Steinke; brother and sister-in-law, Bud and Dolores Becker. Richard is survived by his children, Aimee Steinke, Michael (Cindy) Becker, Mark Becker; son-in-law, Ronald Willson; grandchildren, Brittany (Mohammad) Alam, Christopher Becker, Michael (Christine) Steinke, Emily (Justin) Conover; many great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews; special friend, Barb Elder. Let us all take a little extra time to wander the dusty aisles, listen closely to old stories and remember that value is often found where others fail to look. A celebration of Richard's life will be held at a later date at the convenience of the family.
