Richard “Dick” was a native of Washington state. Chico, CA was his early home. He met and married Mattie Lee Roby, Brewton AL. Their wedding ceremony was performed at Whiting Field chapel July 2, 1954, where Lt. Lombard was an active duty flight instructor, USN. 
Dick was designated  a naval aviator in 1950 and participated in the Korean Conflict aboard the USS Princeton  squadron  VF-871 and the USS 
Essex. 

I'm so sorry to just now have learned of Ric's uncle's death. Ric told me so many stories about Dick's involvement with him while growing up.  Ric was especially proud of Dick's military service and always wished he could be a pilot just like him.
I've known since Ric died in 2006 that he was in Heaven (in someone's pit crew enjoying his love of racing)  waiting to be reunited with everyone he loves. Ric was there waiting for Uncle Dick. I'm sure of it.
Enjoy flying your dream jets up there, Dick. Next time you see him, Dick, please give him a huge hug from me! I'm sure our son , Howard, will be there, too. Hug him too, please.
Lee?  Keep the faith.
Diane

I remember you uncle Dick. I will never forget the summer I spent with you and your family in Puerto Rico. 

So sorry to hear Dick passed away, he was a fine person and I  know he will be missed ,  My prayers are for Susan, Jesse, and all the family
