Richard Murnane

November 2, 1938 — July 3, 2023

Richard "Dick" Murnane, 84, of Oakdale, passed away peacefully on Monday, July 3, 2023. He was preceded in death by his wife, Ann; great grandchild; AJ Mahowald; and sister, Pat Richardson. He is survived by his children, MaryPat Mahowald (Brad Heil), Rick (Cheryl), Rob (Julie), Peggy (Steve) Drobinski, and Mike (Marnie); grandchildren, Andy (Suzanne) Mahowald, Jack (Erin), Michael, Sean (Katie Logendyke), Meghan (Alex) Carlberg, and Ryan (Kim Moua) Murnane, Kelsey (Joe) Robinson, Jack (Morgan Newpower) Rogowski, Annie and Maggie Murnane; great grandchild, John Mahowald; sister, Mary (Hank) Mauer; brother-in-law, Tom Richardson; many nieces and nephews, other relatives and friends.

For 45 years, Dick worked for H. B. Fuller before he retired. He was known for being an avid sports fan and lover of MN sports and bowling. He spent many years as a well-beloved coach and coached all 5 of his children in softball, baseball and hockey. When his wife passed in 2013, he took over the role of "texting" grandpa and always made sure to send out to his crew a "Morning" text every day at 6 AM. His smile and love will be deeply missed.
