Richard BEACH Obituary
Dick was born January 12, 1952 in Spokane to Ralph and Myrtle Beach. He attended St, John Vianney Catholic School and graduated from West Valley High School in 1970. He attended SFCC and EWU. Dick worked at Alcoa in Addy, WA until they closed in 2001 at which time he retired.
He loved the outdoors, hunting, snow skiing, and especially mountain biking. Dick enjoyed riding the trails in Riverside State Park and made several trips to Moab, Utah to participate in mountain bike rides.
Dick is survived by sisters Diane Hershberger (Bob) of Auburn, WA and Sherry Johnson (Art) of Spokane and their families.
The family would like to thank Arletta of Arletta's Adult Care Home for her loving care of Dick.
No memorial is planned at this time.

I remember Dick as a great pitcher in hardball and I was his catcher. Every pitch made my hand hurt. He had eye lashes forever and was the best looking guy in any crowd. We were 15 or 16 and he was just a cool guy.

We were saddened to learn of Dick's recent death.
Our mother was a resident at Arletta's until almost a year ago which is how we got to know him. We send our thoughts and prayers to his family.

Dick was a great guy. He will be missed. Will always remember playing softball with him. He was an excellent shortstop. Good memories of hiking with him in the Dishman Hills and growing up together.
