Richard, affectionately known as "Dickie", was a loving father, grandfather, and great grandfather.  He worked hard over the years in the heavy equipment, dirt, and building industry to provide for his family.  He enjoyed hunting, visiting and drinking coffee with his friends.  One might call him a  "Café Hopper".  His happiest moments were those spent at family gatherings which always involved eating.  Dickie loved country music as well as T.V., especially Fox News and Old Westerns.  His memory will be cherished by all who knew and loved him.

Dickie is survived by his three children, Ronald Patrick and wife, Megan, of Zachary, Deneen Bushnell and husband, Black, and Chad Patrick and wife, Christy, all of Mittie; one brother, Wiley Patrick and wife, Polly, of Oberlin; two sisters, Darlene Landry and DeAndra Layman, both of Lake Charles; five grandchildren-Kristi, Dustin, Jordan, Lane and Holly; and five great grandchildren-Ethan, Trinity, Madison, Nicholas, and Brenna.

Dickie is preceded in death by his parents, Wiley and Hilda Patrick; and, four sisters-Dorothy Case, Frankie Romero, Maxine Guillory, Vivian Ryder, and Sandy Shuff.
