Richard William Meserve Jr.

on Thursday, October 27, 2016.

He was born on March 31, 1932 in Portland, Oregon and lived in Ilwaco,

Washington area through High School. Dick, to his friends, loved his work

and served for over 30-years as a Teacher, Principal and Administrator for

Pueblo School District 60. To him teaching was not work, but a passion and

calling. Dick was active with the Boy Scouts of America while his sons (all

Eagle Scouts) were involved and served at one point as Scout Master for

Troop 19. He was also instrumental in supporting his daughter in obtaining

the highest award for the Girl Scouts. He influenced many lives over the

years as a friend, teacher, mentor and scout master, along with being loved

and respected by everyone that knew him.

After retiring from the School District, he enjoyed traveling and going to

Cheyenne Frontier Days with his wife Eileen (Pinky), along with visiting

their children and grandchildren as often as they could. Dick loved spending

time in the Colorado Mountains camping, fishing, and skiing. The Broncos

and golf were also passions. Additionally, he enjoyed traveling to the State of

Washington as often as he could to visit family and friends.

He is survived by his 4 children; Bill (Kay) Meserve, Bob Meserve, Margaret

(Rich) Myers, Rick (Linda) Meserve, and two grandchildren, Darren Myers

and Richard (RJ) Meserve. He is also survived by his Brother-In-Law, Robert

(Sandy) Ferriter, and Sister-In-Law, Dorothy (Ralph) Hinrichs,
