Lane, Thursday, June 9, 2005 at 1:00 p.m. Alden was born 79 years ago in 
Missouri to EmmaGrace and John Richmond, moving eventually to the west coast 
along with his siblings Delayne, Ray and Billie Jean. They settled in The 
Dalles, Oregon area where he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served in active 
duty during WWII in the invasion of the Philippine Islands. In 1950 he married 
Dolores and they moved to California, first to LA and then to Bakersfield 
where Alden was communications supervisor for the Southern Pacific Railroad 
until he retired in 1986, and Dolores was a teacher in the Panama Buena Vista 
School District. Together they were the proud parents of two wonderful 
children, son, Michael and daughter, Robin. Alden enjoyed working on and 
restoring cars, riding his bicycle, loved to travel in his RV and enjoyed 
spending time at Pismo beach. Alden was a strong wonderful family man, and 
being able to fix anything could always be counted on to help a friend 
whenever and where ever he could. He is survived by his wife, Dolores; son, 
Michael and wife, Kellie; daughter, Robin and husband, Chuck; and his beloved 
grandchildren, McKenzie and Macey Kibbee and Derrick and Jenna Richmond, who 
knew his as their Pops. He will always be loved and remembered by his family 
and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Ray. In lieu 
of flowers, the family suggests gifts in Aldens memory to the American Cancer 
Society. Visitation will be held Thursday, June 9 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m..
