RICHARD INTRAIN
Richard Intrain, golf professional, went home peacefully on the morning of 
July 20, 2019. He is preceded in death by his wife of 49 years, his wife of 
49 years, Mary Sperstra Intrain and his parents, Louis and Severa Intrain. 
Richard is survived by his son, Gregg Intrain (golf professional), and 
daughter-in-law Emily Intrain (accomplished golfer by marriage); brother, 
John Intrain; nieces, Andrea (Intrain) Gravley, Sara (Intrain) Chilelli, 
Emily (Intrain) Chilelli, and Laura (Intrain) Filar. 

Dick turned pro in 1959 after his stint in the U.S. Air Force. He worked at a 
number of golf clubs in Florida and Michigan including Tequesta, Battle creek 
Country Club, Lake Doster, Deer Run and Ionia Country Club. His final club 
affiliation was Silver Springs Shores country Club, where his best friend Val 
Johnson is head professional. Dick was an exceptionally long hitter and 
possessed a world Class bunker game. His playing credits include numerous PGA 
tour and Senior PGA tour events. He was a gifted teacher of the game and 
loved being on the range. If he saw someone struggling, he would alway stop 
and offer some help. Next to his family and pets, he simply loved the game of 
golf. He was also a lifelong Chicago Cubs and bears fan. His perfect day was 
two to three hours of range time, a later morning round, a Cubs win in the 
afternoon and then one of mom's roast beef potatoes and gravy dinners. 
Through the grace of God, we are sure he is enjoying that right now.

A celebration of life and Mass of Christian burial will take place on Aug. 9, 
2019, at St. Patrick's Parish, Parnell, Mich. at 2 p.m. with visitation one 
hour prior. A luncheon will follow in the Parish Center.

In lieu of flowers please donate to Humane Society of West Michigan or St. 
Jude Children's Hospital.
