Feb 2020 Richard (Dick) Bogard
Dick was a Long time member and President of the Leisure World Woodshop. He passed away at the youthful age of 89 on Feb. 10, 2020, in exactly the way he would have wanted: in Mesa, Ariz., surrounded by loved ones, and with a bellyful of vanilla ice cream. Bogie spent his childhood on the south side of Chicago and his young adulthood in the U.S. Air Force and served in the Korean War. In the spring of 1958, Dick married his college sweetheart, Patty Horan Bogart, and together they parented their five wonderful children in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Bogie will be dearly missed by those who survive him: his loving wife of 62 years, Patty. Bogie loved his family and friends, doughnuts, woodworking, Ketel One (on the rocks with a twist of lemon) and the game of golf with all of his heart. The LW Woodshop members will dearly miss Dick and the countless hours he spent helping our club. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Bogart family.
