Hi Julie,

Dick passed away in a construction accident on Harstine Island. After returning from Vietnam and fulfilling his military obligation Dick took a summer job with a construction company. The accident happened a week before he was to leave on a relief mission with his church. Dick was an honest caring christian young man who served his country and GOD. God Bless Dick Creasey

 I am Dick's sister, Linda.  He died in fall of 1972, in a construction accident on Harstine Island after serving either 2 or 3 terms as a Marine in Vietnam.  Dick had given his notice to quit the construction job just days before he died, and was planning to return to college. I am not aware of the mission referred to by Tom Marshall, but would like to know more about that comment.   Dick had connected with some orphans when he was in Vietnam, and at the time of his death was trying to navigate the political channels to bring Joe, a Vietnamese orphan, to the States.  I still miss Dick.  Tom, thanks for writing about him.
