Albuquerque, NM
Richard “Dick” Charles Hollingshead, born Sept-ember 11, 1933, at West Point Station Hospital, Highland Falls, passed away July 5 th in Albuquerque, New Mexico due to complications from heart surgery.
“Our dad loved life, he was a great husband, avid golfer, businessman, Navy Veteran and a terrific grandfather and great-grandfather. He was the most compassionate, patient, loving, smart man on this planet. Dad had an amazing sense of humor and I hear he loved to tell off color jokes on the golf course with his buddies. He was always making others smile and cracking jokes. He was proud of all of us, but most proud of his two grandsons following his legacy in the US Navy and one joining the US Army. Our dad was the most devoted husband on the planet – lovingly referred to as ‘Sweet Richard’.”
We are always eager to share he and mom married after only knowing each other 10 days and still married today for 64 years!
Dick is survived by his wife Eve; daughters Donna Hollingshead and Terri McNally; his son Mickey (Ann) Hollingshead; nine grandchildren; and 11 great grandchildren. He is also survived by his sisters Diane McCue (Donald) and Elaine Baker (Edward); his cousin Nancy (Robert).
He is preceded in death by his brother Bill and his mother Margaret.
The family are planning a celebration in his honor at Picacho Hills Country Club sometime in August.
