Richard C. Stout of Grand Junction,
passed away on January 17th
at the VA Community Living
Center. Born September 17, 1926
to Fred and Edna Stout in a log
cabin along the Colorado River at
Sweetwater, Colorado, he was the
ninth of their 12 children.
His love for hunting began at
childhood and he shot his first
deer for food for the family at 12 years old. After a childhood
working on the family's two ranches, he left home at 17 to join the
Navy. He served with honor in World War II on the USS Hart, a destroyer
that saw action in the Pacific Campaign.
When the war ended, he attended the Coyne Electrical School in
Chicago. Upon returning, he met and married Helen Hatch, a waitress
at the Hanging Lake Café near Glenwood and took a job as
battery tender in the New Jersey Zinc mine in Gilman, Colorado.
They bought a home in Minturn and began a family, having three
boys, Richard Lee, Glenn, and Lyle.
After working a number of years as an electrician at Gilman and
then at the molybdenum mine at Climax, he moved the family to
Grand Junction where he worked as a mine electrician in the uranium
industry and at various electric motor shops. In later years he
worked at the Vail Ski Resort as an electrician and then came back
to Grand Junction and started Stout's Electric with his son, Lyle,
where he worked until he retired in 1989.
He and Helen then traveled extensively throughout the United
States and Canada enjoying many beautiful years of retirement. He
will always be remembered for the mouthwatering turkeys he
cooked for family events. His love for hunting continued with an
annual hunting trip with Glenn for many years and he shot his last
deer at age 79.
He was preceded in death by his son, Richard Lee, and is survived
by Helen, Glenn (Pam), Lyle (Jill), his grandson, James (Ashley), a
brother, Dale of Rocky Ford; a sister, Georgia Bowen of Loveland,
and sisters, Mary Bennett and Hazel Rabel of Grand Junction.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a donation be made to VA
Community Living Center to thank them for the loving care and respect
they gave Richard in his last months. A remembrance will be
held later in the spring at the Veteran's Cemetery when his ashes are
interred. Condolences may be left for the family at www.martinmortuary.
