Bakersfield, California. Dick met the love of his life, Thelma and they were 
married for 53 years. Dick and Thelma came to Bakersfield in 1936 to settle 
with their three children, John, Yvonne and Michael. He was active in the 
community and worked as a machinist for the Southern Pacific Railroad and 
retired as a Locomotive Engineer in the early 1970's. Dick was a member of the 
Retired Railroad Employees and Southern Pacific Golf Team of the Bakersfield 
Division. Dick was a recognized Elder of the Cherokee Tribe and was proud of 
his Indian heritage. He was a member of the Ani Yon Society, The American 
Indian Council and the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. He was instrumental in the 
organization of several American Indian Pow Wow's in Bakersfield. Dick enjoyed 
playing his fiddle with various senior country music bands at Senior Citizen 
Centers and Convalescent Hospitals in and around Bakersfield. At the age of 
91, Dick was bowling twice a week with his daughter and his senior friends at 
Southwest and Westchester Bowl. Dick had a great enjoyment and passion for 
life and we are richer for having known him. His living presence will be 
deeply missed by family and friends alike. For additional service or floral
