Celebrating the life of

Richard Allen Wotring

July 17, 1943 - May 04, 2024

Richard Allen Wotring

Richard Allen Wotring, born on July 17, 1943, and a proud Marine, transitioned from this life on May 4, 2024, at the age of 80.

Dickie’s dedication to service extended far beyond his military tenure. After his honorable service with the Marines, he became a Mason and a proud member of the American Legion Post 184 and continued his commitment to bettering the lives of others as a devoted member of Local 188, where he tirelessly advocated for the rights and well-being of his fellow union members. Dickie’s unwavering sense of duty, coupled with his compassionate spirit, left an enduring impact on all who had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy of selflessness and service will continue to inspire generations to come.

Dickie will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and the community he served with such dedication and devotion. Dickie is survived by his loving wife of 58 years Joann. His daughters Theresa, Shannon and husband Gene Linton, Jayme. 9 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren.
