1938-2015

Richard "Dick" Kamradt was born March 19, 1938 in Cherokee, IA to August and Anita (Miller) Kamradt. He lived his early childhood years in rural Sutherland, IA. Later, the family relocated to the rural Royal and Moneta, IA. area where Dick received his education. He enjoyed playing on the baseball team, and was very active in 4-H throughout his school years. He graduated from Moneta High School in 1957.

While in high school; Dick had joined the National Guard and remained active until enlisting in the United States Air Force in 1960

On April 6, 1960, Dick was united in marriage to Karen Kay McCarty at Chanute Air Force Base in Rantoul, IL; then transferred to Lubbock, TX. Following his honorable discharge from the Air Force in April, 1961, Dick and Karen moved back to Moneta where Dick farmed with his father. They farmed in the Sutherland and Everly, IA area until 1970, when they moved to their present farmstead near Archer, IA. Dick was still managing farming operations here at the time of his passing.

They were blessed with five children: Deb, Dawn, Steve, Sheila, and Brad. When farm work would allow, Dick enjoyed going fishing or just spending time at their cabin during the warmer months. Attending his grandkids' activities was always a highlight, as was time spent with family and friends. When cold weather set in, he and Karen spent the winter in Bullhead City, AZ.

Dick was a member of St. Anthony's Catholic Church, Knights of Columbus, and the Eagles.

Dick passed away peacefully at home on January 11, 2015 at the age of 76 years, nine months and 22 days following a brief illness with pancreatic cancer. He was surrounded by his loving wife of 54 years, Karen, and his family.
