Obituary: CHAPTER 1 " Life in the Sand hills" Dick was born in North Platte, Nebraska to parents Robert and May Falk. He was the third child with two older sisters, Gertrude, better known as "Dolly" and Mildred better known as "Millie". And a forth child, Brother Gordon, joined the family a short time later. The family lived in the Sand hills outside North Platte and raised cattle as well as farmed corn and other crops. The school house was located on the Falk property and the school teacher lived with them while school was in session. One of Dick's jobs was to run down to the school each morning, in the winter, and start the fire in the wood stove to heat the school. The school house was later moved to Kearney, Nebraska as part of the historical museum collection of buildings. Farming and ranching is very hard work and often with little reward and eventually the Falk's moved to North Platte where Dick's father started a hauling business and selling scrape metal. Dick worked with his dad when not in school. Dick also worked at the railroad ice house in North Platte icing railcars from California loaded with produce headed for the east coast. Dick also delivered newspapers and tells of buying his first car, a early 20's Studebaker, for $10.00 plus some trade items from one of his paper delivery customers. CHAPTER 2 "Falling in love, Dick meets Frankie" Two young people who loved to dance and drive around in old cars meet and fell in love. On 16, 1937 Dick and Frances Viter were married in North Platte Nebraska. A note of interest, one granddaughter, Laura (Kalani) Bateman was married on the same date 49 years later. celebrated there 50th and 1st anniversaries on the same date at the same party. Dick and Frankie moved to Sterling, Colorado where Dick worked on a poultry farm owned by his sister Dolly and her husband Harold. This created a life long dislike of chicken for Dick. Remember that the country was still coming out of the depression and job opportunities were few and far between so Dick and Frankie headed west to California with hopes of better times. In 1938 while in Redding Calif. Romona May, the first of three daughters was born. Jobs in Calif. were not all that great and they returned to Nebraska and in of 1939 a second daughter, Barbara Jean was born. Shortly after Barbara's birth they decided to give Calif. one more try. Dick worked several jobs including a saw mill in the redwood forest area. In of 1941 the third daughter, Diana Frances arrived. This was three moves halfway across the US and each time a new addition to the family.... Maybe it was time to settle down. Dick tells of one of these trips, across country, with Frankie, two small children and his Mother in a Model A Ford. Some where, in the middle of nowhere the car begins to shake and rattle. Dick stopped along the roadside and knowing that Model A Fords were called bailing wire specials he dropped the engine pan and saw that one of the rod bearings was broken. He replaced the bearing with a piece of his leather belt soaked in oil and Managed to continue with the trip until he could make permanent repairs. In 1942 Dick and Frankie along with three daughters and Dick's parents moved to Milwaukie Oregon where they purchased a small farm and began a new life. Dick and his dad both worked in the shipyards Frankie was a full time Mom and home maker. At some point in time Frankie's parents moved to Milwaukie and Dick's sister Millie and Brother Gordon came as well. There were "COUSINS BY THE DOZEN" CHAPTER 3 "Dick joins the Marines and goes to war" Dick had been a member of the Nebraska National Guard at some point while living in Nebraska and must have felt the call to serve his country. In 1944 he was drafted, knowing that his wife and children were settled in a home and surrounded by family Dick was now in the Marines and did his basic training in San Diego California before heading to the South Pacific where he saw action at Okinawa, Ryukyu Islands and was a part of the occupation of China at wars end. During a brief R&R That is rest and recuperation in military jargon Dick spent some time in Australia. Dick was in a PUB loaded with Navy, Marines and US army personal when of all things a fight broke out. Dick decided that the safest place would be under one of the tables and quickly ducked under and within a few seconds he was joined by a US army member with the same idea. quickly became friends and spend the remainder of their time in Australia together. (This story continues in chapter 4) Dick's military specialty was ordnance (ammo) and he was also a mechanic. The stories he shared with me had little to do with combat but were more pleasant memories he enjoyed sharing. One of Dick's talents was to take anything that would ferment and distill it into alcohol (the drinking type) In the South Pacific there is plenty of coconuts and other fruit that is well suited for this purpose. All that along with the abundance of copper, brass and Dick's mechanical skills it was short order before Dick had a still up and running. At one point Dick was working the still and when he turned around there stood the commander...The only comment was "be sure an save me some" Dick also tells the story of the Captains jeep with a muffler damaged Beyond repair, So Dick manufactures one from a55mm artillery shell casing, continued... |
