LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Richard James Gleed, our beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend, passed away on Aug. 27, 2017, at the age of 83.
Dick was born on May 5, 1934, to James and Eleanor Gleed in San Francisco.
The family moved to Campbell, Calif., where he was very active at Campbell High School in different clubs, acted in school plays, and was a leader on league championship teams in wrestling and football.
He was All-League (most outstanding player), All-County, All North Coast, third team All-Northern California, and was chosen for the California North vs. South All-Star football game.
After high school, Dick served in the Army for two years and then attended Chico State College to become a teacher.
Dick and Barbara were married in 1959 and had their son, Steve, before moving to Lake County to start his teaching career. Scott and Reneé came along soon after.
Dick taught woodshop and drafting at Lower Lake High School for 33 years. He so enjoyed teaching and worked hard at giving the students the best program he could. He also coached wrestling, cross-country track and football. He was not only a teacher, but a mentor to his students.
Dick enjoyed life, every phase of it. He enjoyed working with wood; started with making items for the kids, then birdhouses, which are on trees throughout our property, duck decoys and beautiful duck calls.
He enjoyed the Mendocino coastline with camping, and then renting houses for the family to spend time together. Dick loved to have a fun time, oh the stories he could tell. Reno trips were fun times.
He and his family have lived in Lake County for 56 years and have made many wonderful friends along the way.
Dick leaves behind his wife, Barbara; children, Steve, Scott (Suzanne), and Reneé (Joey) Brodnik; grandchildren, Brittany and Ashley Gleed, Trae Brodnik, Hunter and Kylee Gleed; brother, George (Mary); nephews, nieces, and their families, and many wonderful friends whom he so enjoyed.
Dick liked the saying, "All of us will die, but not all of us have lived – I lived." We miss your love and having you with us so much, but we know you are in heaven pain-free and with Gordon Sadler playing pranks on everyone.
A celebration of Dick's life will be held at the Cornelison Event Center at the Konocti Education Center in Clearlake located at 15850 Dam Road Extension (gym at Oak Hill Middle School) on Saturday, Sept. 23, at 11 a.m.
