Richard (Dick) Edward Sweeney, 82, of Sun City Center, a devoted father, brother, and friend, went to his heavenly home August 15, 2014.
He is survived by his beloved daughters Patti (Rick) Nicodemus and Karen (Mike Hall) Sweeney; precious grandchildren Brit (Jacob) Mathias and Kyle Stumpff; brothers John (Marge) and Michael Sweeney; and sister Doti (Bob) Richards.
He lived his faith as a devoted Catholic (Prince of Peace Parish) and follower of Jesus, serving as a volunteer on the SCC Emergency Squad, at the hospital and with Our Lady of Guadalupe Mission.
Dick served with honors in the U.S. Air Force as an aircraft mechanic during the Korean War.
He retired as a corporate pilot with NCR and Williams International, and loved to “talk” aviation.
He leaves behind his dear friends in the Looney Club at McDonald’s.
He will be dearly missed.
Interment will be at Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery in Rittman, Ohio.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Our Lady of Guadalupe Mission in Wimauma.
Arrangements by Zipperer’s Funeral Home.
A special thanks to Lifepath Hospice of Sun City Center for their kindness and wonderful care. My mother’s RN, Al, and her Nurse’s Aide, Meagan, are Angels.
