Dedrickson, Richard (1925? - 23 APR 2018)

Richard Dedrickson, 93, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Monday, April 23, 2018.

Richard enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1942 and proudly served in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters in World War II and served until 1946. He was a lifetime member of the VFW and VMA.

He had a lifelong appreciation for the great outdoors. He enjoyed trout fishing on the Brule River, rabbit hunting, duck hunting and most of all the annual deer hunts with his familv. He will be sadly missed at all the future deer camps but Richard's annual toast will live on. "BIGGER and BETTER BUCKS BOYS."

He was preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Maude; his sisters, Edna and Marge and his brother, Donald.

Richard is survived by his wife and best friend of 70 years, Yvonne (Berg) Dedrickson, with whom he was joined in marriage on Sept. 14, 1947; their children, Mark (Linda), Beth (Bob) Sedahl, Susan (Ed) Blanchard, Julie (John) Borgwardt, Brule (Heidi), Gordy (Julie) and Eric; and several grandchildren, great-grand children, great-great-grandchildren and nieces and nephews.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
