Obituary of Richard Phillip Newman
IN THE CARE OF

Lincoln Funeral Home

Richard Phillip "Dick" Newman, age 90, passed away on May 8, 2025, in Lincoln, California.

Born on November 12, 1934, in Yakima, Washington, Dick lived a long and full life marked by dedication to his craft, a love of the outdoors, and a personality that left a lasting impression on those around him.

Dick proudly served as a Naval reservist, demonstrating his commitment to service early in life. Following his time in the reserves, he found his calling as a barber—a profession he embraced for 45 years. As the owner of "Dick's Barber Shop," he became a familiar and trusted figure in his community. His shop was more than just a place for haircuts; it was a gathering spot where stories were shared and friendships were formed.

Outside of work, Dick found joy in simple pleasures. He loved playing table games and spending time outdoors camping and fishing. Nature brought him peace and adventure, and he relished every opportunity to enjoy wildlife.

Known for his sense of humor and strong will, Dick was both a comedian at heart and someone who appreciated order in life. His unique blend of stubbornness and charm made him unforgettable to those who knew him.

May his memory bring comfort to all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
