Richard Thomas Jordan III

his home in Argyle on Monday Feb 27, 2023, with his younger twin brothers Tim and Troy at his

side. Dick was born April 30, 1959 on the US Naval Base at Quantico Virginia.

Dick was predeceased by his maternal and paternal grandparents, father Richard Thomas

Jordan Jr (1979), mother Dorothy (Hatch) Jordan (2013) and brother Ronald Jordan (1993).

Dick was an avid car enthusiast and skilled at auto body repair and all things mechanical and

electrical. His interest was clear early. As a teen, Dick had managed to acquire and

surreptitiously store off-site at least two fixer-upper cars at the ages of 14 and 15 to avoid pesky

parental oversight.

One of Dick's triumphs as a young adult ensued after graduating from Old Town High School in

1977 when he fixed up a Plymouth Barracuda and took a road trip to Kansas with his good

friend Gene. Together they managed to make their destination with the not surprising need to

replace the engine before making the return trip back to Maine.

Later he operated his own business, Jordan's Auto Body, on the Bradley Rd in the 90s, and later worked as a mechanic for his friend Bruce and for relatives and Argyle neighbors who benefited from his expertise and patience that skilled auto body work requires.

Dick was not a fan of Maine winters and never quite gave up on the dream of the distant,

warmer climate of California he remembered from his youth. Nonetheless, Dick was proud to

have recently built a house in Argyle on the old homestead that's been in the family for generations.

In later life Dick appreciated keeping in contact by phone with relatives and friends, near and far. Dick was especially appreciative of his cousins who checked in with him regularly.

The family is thankful to the nurses and doctors at EMMC, and to Northern Light Hospice who

provided compassionate assistance to Dick and the family during his last days, and allowed him

to return home where he was most comfortable.

Dick had a lifelong affinity for cats, whether it was caring for stray cats at Camp Pendleton,

California, where the family lived in the 60s, or for caring for his cat in his new Argyle home. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Old Town Animal Orphanage in Dick's name would be a fitting

tribute.

A graveside service celebrating Dick’s life will be held at Cedarvale cemetery in Argyle in the Spring.
