Richard Lee (Dick) Robertson passed away in Richland entering in to heaven to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on September 21, 2014. He was 69. Richard was born in Lebanon Oregon to the parents of Charles Beatty and Ada Price Oct. 18, 1944.

He is preceded in death by his parents and brothers, Dennis Beatty and James (Butch) Robertson and stepfather, George Price. He is survived by his sisters JoAnne Riley of Richland, Linda Babcock of Arizona and Loretta Fogel of Richland, and Children Dana Maggi (Kenny) of Georgia, Rick Robertson of Richland, Jimmie Swanson (Lynsay) of Kennewick and Julie Go of Spokane, Grandchildren Kristin, Jacquelyn, Johnathan, Braidon, Kobe and John.

Dick spent a total of 30 years on the Hanford site before retiring as a Project Construction Engineer from the 222 S Labs for WRPS. During his life he spent many of his years owning his own masonry company and creating things for his yard along with helping family and friends whenever they needed help with a construction project. But Dick's true love and passion was music. He could play just about any instrument he touched but was drawn more towards the guitar. He also had the vocal skills to go along with that talent. He spent most of his life playing with various bands that started with his first gig at 16 in Seaside Oregon.

Dick's wish was to make it to his 70th Birthday so in honor of the fight and courage he has shown over the last 6 months of his battle with cancer, the family has decided to have a Celebration of Life on his 70th Birthday Saturday October 18, 2014 at his home 317 George Washington Way in Richland at 1pm. Please join his family and friends in remembering and honoring a truly one-of-a-kind man who touched so many people.
