Richard A. “Dickie” Bolenbaugh, 62, of Marysville, died Saturday, Feb. 23, 2019, at his residence.
A 1974 graduate of Marysville High School, he retired from Picklesimer Trucking, where he worked as a mechanic and truck driver for more than 25 years. He was also a member of the Seabees with the United States Naval Reserves.
He was fun loving, quick witted and a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He loved spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. In his free time, he enjoyed vacations to Gatlinburg, going to flea markets and demolition derbies, working on the farm with his son-in-law, Tony, and, of course, his mornings spent at Mrs. Renison’s Donuts.
He was born July 30, 1956, in Union County, to the late Richard A. “Ted” and Kathryn (Bendler) Bolenbaugh. In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by his sister, Rebecca Bolenbaugh, and brother, Kevin Bolenbaugh.
He is survived by his wife of more than 41 years, Patty (Wibley) Bolenbaugh, whom he married June 25, 1977, in Marysville; children, Richard (Wendy) Bolenbaugh III of Marysville, Angela (Tony) Randall of Urbana and Daniel (Angela) Bolenbaugh of Reynoldsburg; grandchildren, Brooklyn, Courtney, Daniel, Kenny, Nikki, Alexis, Ryder, Tesla, Riley and Bryce; two great-grandchildren; and sisters, Pam (Donald) Moore and Karla Rawlins, both of Marysville.
