Dick is survived by loving wife of 58 years, Carolyn Cox Cate; daughter, Elizabeth Cate-Sussner (Jarrett); grandson, Richard Harrison Cate-Sussner; and sister, Beverly Waites (Byron) of Columbia, SC.
In 1996, Dick retired from SunTrust Banks Inc., formerly Third National Bank, as Group Vice President of the holding company and Senior Vice President of the bank in Nashville. He was also in charge of assets/loan quality for the fourteen SunTrust banks in Tennessee and northern Alabama.
A great source of enjoyment after his retirement was his involvement as a volunteer in the Vanderbilt University Athletic Department for which, in 2001, he was awarded the Ken Hudgens Award for service and dedication to Vanderbilt athletics.
Dick was a charter member of Westminster Chapel, Nashville.
Honorary pallbearers will be family members and men of his Friday Morning Bible Study Group.
Memorial Service will be held on Monday, April 16, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. with a one hour visitation prior to the service at West End United Methodist Church.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Alive Hospice, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, or the charity of your choice.
