My deepest condolences. Dickie was a wonderful neighbor and friend and we are proud to have know him and are saddened by your loss. I was googling to find a number to notify your family of my mother’s passing and came across this. I’m positive Dickie was up there to greet my mom along with her other friends and family.

So sorry for your loss.  I have fond memories of him.  He and Dolores provided a place for my son Darian as he served in the Marines with his son Nate.  He was always so friendly and full of life when I came to visit. Thank you Dick for being so kind and caring.

Our deepest heartfelt condolences. Whenever visiting the Grand Children in San Diego, we always met up with Dick and Dolores at one of the homes of the family for some celebration or other. The older we Grandparents got the more we chatted while sitting together eating some yummy homemade food. Having known Dick for over 40 years, what stood out immediately was his protective care of his kids, especially daughters. A close second was of course his love for the Raiders, but when his Grand kids came around that shifted to using his artistic talent for and with them. This resulted in too many creations to mention, which totally made the Grand kids happy. Thanks for being such an awesome Grand Dad, who taught everyone how to have a great time, especially with Poppy Tops. We will always remember you, Anneke and Lou

“Slash”

I don’t know when I first met Richard. I was like 13 years old when I was first dragged into the Clemons Second Family. One day I was free as a bird then the next I was part of this dance Cult. 
There were all these people in this dance group, Cira & Delia were two of them. Richard’s daughters)
Richard was one of the many nameless “Adults” that were around.  How could we possibly be bothered to learn everyone’s names?
There were just too many adults!
That feeling changed after our performance at Disneyland. 
Our Ballet Folklorico group, 
“La Fiesta Danzantes”, was invited to Perform there. Mexican folk dances in case you aren’t familiar with it. 
It was while at that Disneyland performance that I heard the tale of how Richard had acquired a lifetime ban from there. He had gotten a little too much pirate water and decided he wanted to go into the Pirate land. He swashbuckled his way off the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and into the island “ALLEGEDLY”
There he was. 
At Disneyland. 
Free as a bird. 
I thought, “Richard? That’s not a proper name for this DUDE! He’s like a pirate!”
From that day I always called him “Slash”
This seemed to amuse him. 
He was just a cool guy. 
I’ll miss how every time he saw me he would say “Hey Pete, it’s Damn good to see you!”
June 25th-July 4th 2023. 
That little line in the middle? 
That’s the “Slash” I knew. 
That little line is a life full of laughs and love. Full of profound moments and great creativity. 
That “Slash” lived his life on his own terms. 
He lived like a pirate.
I’ll miss you my Pirate friend.

I always thought that your parents were a super cool couple! But your Dad, he was the light of the party! Always had something funny to say and did it with a smile! I am truly sorry for your loss, yet I am comforted knowing that you all have so many awesome memories with him! There’s no doubt in my mind that he is in heaven making Rowan crack up and smile! Rest easy Dick, you will be truly missed.

Always cracking jokes! Every time I saw you , we hugged and you would share a joke with me every time. Always with a smile, and bringing life to the party. Your jokes, your spirit, your laugh, it will all be missed. It was such a pleasure to know you for as long as I did. Thank you for being such a great father/husband to a family I love so much. You will always be in my heart Mr Clemons and we will all take care of Mrs Clemons and the girls for you 💕

Our deepest condolences to the family. Prayers for peace and comfort as you celebrate his life. With love always, Rose, Art, Angie and Caleb.

I am so sorry to hear of Dick’s passing. I had spent a lot of time with Dick and Dolores and the rest of the family over the years. He always made me feel included  and part of the family when it came to holidays or events, or just family get togethers. I remember going to car shows and races and even grocery shopping with Dick and Nate. There are so many memories I have, and it was all a good time. I’ll miss you Dick and thank you for everything over the years. My deepest condolences to the whole family. I love you.
