The Bakersfield Californian 
Richard Duer Banner
2/9/1930 - 4/11/2005

Richard Duer Banner was born February 9, 1930, in Pollock, Missouri and passed 
away April 11, 2005, in Bakersfield, California following recent illness with 
brain cancer. 

He is survived by Carol Hernandez of Bakersfield; Jane Banner, Janet Banner, 
grandson, Clayton Jacobs, all of Lancaster; brother, Joe Banner and nephews, 
Trevor and Jordan Banner, all of the Sacramento area.

After serving in the U.S. Navy and graduating from college at William Jewel, 
Dick headed west as an aeronautical engineer with N.A.S.A. at Edwards, where 
he enjoyed a rewarding career in research. He was an active member in both the 
United Methodist Church and Ys Hikers. The avid outdoorsman constantly pursued 
passions for backpacking and climbing, in addition to lifelong interests in 
computers, environment, music and photography. Retirement from government 
service prompted relocation and a business opportunity in Bakersfield, known 
as Bigfoot Mountaineering. Later endeavors included real estate, bookkeeping, 
and income tax. Many years of mountain pleasure were savored on Breckenridge.

Remembered as a solitary man, Richards unique vitality for life will be 
cherished. A private, family gathering is planned and condolences may be sent 
to obann@lightspeed.net. The family suggests any donations may be made to the 
Sierra Club.
