   James Richard “Dick” Swaine went to be with his Lord on March 20, 2006.  He
was born in Des Moines, Iowa on Dec. 22, 1913.  He was the son of Alvin and
Sarah Swaine.  The first grandchild of the families, he grew up with several
aunts and a grandmother nearby.  As a boy, Dick delivered newspapers and fresh
donuts to customers.  He graduated from Roosevelt High School and attended two
years at Drake University in Des Moines.  His last two years of college were
spent at Maryville College in Maryville, Tenn.  Dick graduated in 1937 with a
degree in business and economics.
   Dick worked in transportation most of his life, beginning in Des Moines with
Des Moines Transportation Company.  He married Margaret McCartney on Oct. 8,
1937 in Des Moines.  They had three daughters, Carolyn, Janet and Susan, and one
son, James, Jr.

Methodist Church in Moline.

retirement, traveling the U.S. and Canada in their motor home and bicycling. 
Dick’s passion was all kinds of transportation, especially freight trains.

the yard was also a consuming pass time.
