Richard "Dick" Coffman passed away peacefully on July 7, 2017 at the age of 87 just two weeks before his 88th birthday. He was the son of the late Ralph and Helen Coffman.

Family meant everything to Dick, from his wife to his children to his grandchildren and his extended family. He was always happiest surrounded by his loved ones. Dick enjoyed working on cars and the house, forever the handyman at heart. He had a natural talent for music and was often playing away at his guitar or banjo in his free time. He was a veteran of the U.S. Army in the Korean War. After his time in the service, Dick attended community college in the Bay Area and went on to spend more than 35 years as a Civil Engineer for CalTrans working on various bridges throughout California and designing park and ride lots in the Bay Area, a career he really enjoyed.
