Richard "Dick" Heth was a caring husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, He left this
world on November 4, 2021. His battle with serious medical issues in recent years showed his
courage in facing life challenges. Through it all, he never lost his sense of humor.
Richard was born to Elmer and Isabel Heth in August of 1946. He spent much of his life helping
and caring for others while working with Villa Hope, Agape, Goodwill, and volunteering at homeless
shelters.
He is survived by his beautiful wife, Kathleen; his children: Eric (Rachel), Sarah (Jeromy) and
Emily; his eight grandchildren (Madison, Kylie, Garrett, Logan, Annika, Griffin, Isiah, and Easton);
his four siblings (Delores, Mary, Susan, and Butch), as well as any other extended family and
friends. We will all miss him greatly.
Richard will be honored and celebrated with a private planting of a tree with his ashes in the spring
of 2022. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Richard's memorial tree fund or to Appleton
COTS.
