He was born in Norwood, Missouri on July 8, 1933 to Kenneth and
Opal Rhoades. Richard moved to Tulare in 1934. He married Nonnette
"Nonnie" Fasso Rhoades on August 29, 1956 and they had six sons: Kelly,
Eric, Bryan, Paul, Scott and Kirt. Richard is survived by his wife and
sons; also his two sisters, Marjorie Babb of Oklahoma City, OK, and
Marilyn Emken and husband, Harlan of Tulare; 18 grandchildren and 16
great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents and
brother, Howard Rhoades. Richard graduated from Tulare Union High School
in 1952. While a student there, he was a great athlete specializing in
swimming and diving. In the same year, he became San Joaquin Valley
Champion in diving and upon graduating was offered a scholarship to Ohio
University. But instead of attending the university, he decided to
voluntarily serve his country in the Korean Conflict.
His military career ended at Scofield Barracks in Hawaii as a
lifeguard. After completing his service with the U. S. Army, he pursued a
career in plastering with his father. In 1962, he opened a restaurant
in Hanford, where he made many friends, pursued the hobby of bowling and
won his first semi-professional tournament. In 1969, he returned to
Tulare to get his contractor's license. He was a plastering contractor
for the last 43 years. Memorial services will be at 11 a.m., Tuesday,
February 21, 2012 at Calvary Chapel of Visalia, 11720 Ave. 264. A
reception will follow the service. Arrangements are by Peers Lorentzen
Funeral Service in Tulare.
