Obituary
Dick was born in Concordia, KS on June 6, 1932 to Aldemore and Beatrice Hebert.
He was a very enterprising young man, 
and was many times joined by his brother Bob, in his money making endeavors. 
They provided rattlesnakes and rabbits to the local meat market. 
Rattlesnake meat was bought by the rich folks on the other side of town, 
and the marketeer made the skins into belts; 
the boys stripped cigarette butts they found and rolled the tobacco with paper in a special machine they had, 
selling the “new” cigarettes; they swept out the box cars of wheat (though they had to sneak in to do it), 
and sold the wheat they gleaned to the local chicken farm; 
Dick sold newspapers to the WWII prisoners at the POW camp there in town; 
they both set pins In the bowling alley; worked in their parents’ Brown McDonald store 
and worked on the farms, usually driving tractors.
The first time his Dad took him hunting, Dick got off a clean shot on a rabbit. 
His Dad said that was great, where’d he learn to shoot like that? 
Dick said, “In the basement”. The basement was no longer used for target practice after that.
Dick graduated from Concordia Catholic High School in 1950, and joined the Navy in 1952, serving until 1956. 
He was stationed in Hutchison, KS, and flew as plane captain on multi-engine 
and navigational training missions around the perimeter of the U.S. and into Cuba.
After discharge from the Navy, Dick moved his family to Denver in 1956. 
He worked at Skyranch, Mtn. State Piper, and Continental and Frontier Airlines as an A&P mechanic. He retired in 1993.
His hobbies were shooting trap, building radio controlled airplanes, and working with wood and metals. 
He was a real craftsman. In recognition of his many years of service, 
the AGC named their clubhouse the Dick Hebert Clubhouse of the Aurora Gun Club. 
He and Jan also enjoyed their many travels.
Dick is survived by his wife, Jan, daughter, Julie (Paul) Scarponcini, and his son, James (Rosemarie). 
Also, stepsons, Lamont and Curtis (Cathy) Samuelson. 
Grandchildren are Philip Hebert, T.J. and Amy Scarponcini, 
Travis, Krista and Clayton Samuelson and Nicole and Heather Samuelson. 
His brother, Robert, his wife Sharon and family also survive him, along with extended family and friends.
