Richard R. “Dick” Wilt went home to be with his Lord and Savior on September 20, 2018. We mourn our loss but rejoice knowing that he is in heaven with his beloved wife, Mary Lois.
He was born in Morgantown on May 29, 1927, son of Lester and Nellie Wilt.
His work included Sanitary Dairy, Wilburn’s Produce and ultimately, C&P Telephone (Bell Atlantic, Verizon) retiring in 1987, after 33 years of service.
His last 31 years were happily spent hunting, fishing, golfing, serving the Lord at church and being with his family and many friends. All of us will miss this wonderful man so much, his caring spirit and sense of humor always lifted us up.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Lloyd; and his wife.
He is survived by his son, Rick (Dee); his daughter, Pam Duncan (Greg); six grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren; his sister, Jean Walls (Bill); his sister-in-law, Shirley Wilt and eight nieces and nephews.
