Dick Hampton Obituary (1957

Dick Hampton Dick Hampton, born May 23, 1957 in Newberg, Oregon, passed away on March 25, 2012. He was a 20 year resident of Olalla, WA. Our wonderful friend Dick Hampton was a wordsmith ?witty, incisive, crafty ? and a lover of his family and his friends. We knew where we stood with Dick, and where we always stood was covered with love. He was silly, and genuine, and loved Jesus, and honored his parents. A consummate actor, including years at Taproot Theatre with his beloved Bonnie, his relationships with others were always the most sincere, never false or enacted. He expressed astonishment and joy from raising his three children, Delynn, Eric, and Neil. A father's pride and delight has never been greater. He was a true friend who was well-known for the freedom of his tenderness and tears, as well as for his devotion to truth, even if it was painful. As we think of him now, we smile through tears. He will missed by his wife of 31 years, Bonnie and their 3 children Delynn, Eric, and Neil; parents Marvin and Maribeth; brothers Bob, Larry, and Ron. A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday April 1, 2012 at 3:00 pm at Harbor Covenant Church in Gig Harbor. Please make remembrances to Taproot Theatre at http://taproottheatre.org/in-memoriam/.
