Richard (Dick) W. Trudo passed away at the age of 82 at home in Beaverton, Oregon, after a battle with cancer. Dick was a loving, generous and humorous husband, son, brother, grandpa, and friend. He was loved by so many, and we all will miss him always and forever.

He retired after working 42 years as a Meat Manager for Safeway, working at 10 different stores across Oregon and California.

Dick had a green thumb and enjoyed growing tomatoes and garlic, his specialties, along with many beautiful flowers. He delighted in crabbing and vacationing at the Oregon coast and traveling to Hawaii (his favorite), and to Laughlin and Reno, Nevada, with his wife, Patricia.
