Richard Clyde "Pop" Quick, 75, passed away in his Louisville, KY home on September 13, 2013, attended by his son and daughter-in-law.
Pop was born February 26, 1938, in Danville, PA, and graduated from Danville High School. After leaving high school, he entered the U.S. Army and proudly served his country for 20 years. He was a member of the 11th Armored Cavalry's Blackhorse Regiment. He served a tour of duty in Vietnam, where he received the Purple Heart and many other awards and medals. The award he was most proud of was the Combat Infantryman Badge, awarded for performing duties while under fire, being engaged in active ground combat to destroy the enemy with direct fire.
He was also stationed in Germany, meeting the love of his life, Dorothea Lechner, while he was there. He retired from the Army while based at Fort Knox, KY, moving his family to Louisville.
He attended Jefferson Community College in Louisville, earning his Associate's Degree in advertising. He began a second career working as Advertising Manager for Allied Sporting Goods in Louisville, KY, where he retired once again after 20 years with Allied. His third and final career was patriarch of the Quick family, serving his family as a wonderful husband, father, father-in-law and grandfather.
He was preceded in death by his father, Elmer "Bill" Quick (Tonawanda, NY), his mother, Blanche Bower Quick (Danville, PA) and one brother, Ray Quick (Sunbury, PA).
