Richard L. Dady

August 9, 1932 - March 10, 2019

Richard Louis Dady, 86, was born August 9, 1932 at St. Charles Hospital in Aurora, IL and passed away at his home in Aurora, IL on March 10, 2019. Richard lived in Aurora for most of his life, but he spent several years living with family in Cleveland, Ohio where he became a Browns and Indians fan, along with his Chicago Bulls. He went to church every Sunday and always said “I can give God at least an hour for the week he has given me.” He served as a proud member of the U. S. Army in Korea. He retired as a union painter for the State of Illinois. He was passionate about spending time at the farm, having breakfasts at his favorite restaurants and making special memories with his family and friends. He was a loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle and friend to many. He is survived by his sons Greg (Tia) Dady and Jeff (Sara) Dady, Pauline Dady; his grandchildren Marisa (Shaun) Nichols, Colton, Camren and Charlotte Dady; step-grandchildren Siera and Eric Sons; great-grandson Carson Lorang; sisters Jean Malooly and Sharon (John) Powell; sister-in-law Shirley Dady; many nieces, nephews, cousins and in-laws; and long-time friend, Ron Butuso, who has always stood by his side. Richard was preceded in death by his parents George and Muriel (Burkett) Dady; brother George Dady, Jr.; and brother-in-law James Malooly. Special thanks to his hospice nurses, Cheryl, Crystal and Paul.
