Richard “Dick” Alan Amundson was born in Glasgow, MT on December 21, 1949 to Alan and Maxine (Worley) Amundson. He grew up and attended school in Fairview, MT He spent most of his teenage years out at Fort Peck Lake on Bug Creek out on the family farm and cabin.
Dick met Reberta “Bobbie” Johnson, the love of his life, in 1969 when he came home from his time with the Army. They were married in June for 1970, and from this union 3 children were born, Christi, Jon and Vance.
Dick was a jack of all trades, but he would say, “And a master of none.” He worked as a seismographer, ran a drilling rig, mechanic, road worker, built bridges, and a truck driver. Of all the titles he had, his favorites were, “Pops” given to him by is grandchildren, and recently “Grumpy” from his great grandbabies.
Pops was a jokester with a kind and loving side. But he was very no nonsense when he was giving advice or just a “good taking to.” He had many friends in his life time, and was respected and loved by everyone in his life. He will be missed dearly, and thought of often.
Dick passed away at his home in Fairview, MT on Thursday, June 24, 2021.
Dick is survived by; his wife, Reberta “Bobbie”; his children, Christi Amundson, Jon (Crystal) Amundson, and Vance Amundson; his seven grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren; his brothers, Miles (Diana) Amundson, Norman (Patsy) Amundson, Will (Sheila) Amundson, and Kevin (Mary) Amundson.
