Richard "Dick" Beck

Richard “Dick” Beck, 69, passed away at his home in Lake City on November 13, 2022.

Dick was born on July, 8, 1953,  to James & Delores (Henn) Beck in Lake City, MN. He graduated from Lincoln High School in 1971. He worked for Willers Construction, Independent Grain and Ahler’s Construction in Lake City. Dick also attended Auctioneering School in Iowa and worked with Emery Henn until his accident. He also loved to farm. In 1987, he was paralyzed in a car accident. This never slowed him down; Dick could be seen all over town going to softball games or just out visiting with friends in his  wheelchair. He was an avid Vikings fan and loved watching sports.
