Dave Richards is a good friend of mine and asked me to forward this death notice to you. As far as I know, there will be a family-only memorial service in mid-September. Also, there is no obit on the funeral home website or in the PDX newspaper.
 
Thanks,
Charlie Cole

Patricia ("Pat") Richards, wife of retired Delta Captain G.D. ("Dave") Richards, passed away after battling Alzheimer's disease for three years. Pat and Dave were married for 56 years and lived in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for 30 years before moving to Portland, Oregon in 1989. Pat loved the Pacific Northwest and was so inspired by its natural beauty that she became an artist and sold her paintings for many years. Pat is survived by Dave, three children (Cathy, David and Gabby), and five grandchildren (Josh, Patrick, Katie, McKenna and Mallory).
