Obituary for Richard P. Johansen
Richard “Dick” Johansen died unexpectedly in his home on September 3, 2016 in Chappaqua, NY peacefully in his sleep. He was 70.
Richard was born on July 4, 1946 in Carroll, IA to his parents, Marvin and Maybelle Young Johansen. Several years later the family moved to Montrose CO. He graduated from Colorado State University with a Masters in Environmental Engineering. He married Karen in 1978 in Hamburg, NY. Dick worked as an engineer for Union Carbide in Buffalo. The Johansen family moved to Chappaqua, NY in 1982 and he worked for Lotepro and then M₂T Technologies. Dick remained in the field of Environmental Engineering to this day and had been instrumental in designing Wastewater Treatment Plants for major cities in the US, having recently completed the NYC Ward’s Island facility. He was looking forward to beginning a partial retirement sometime this year.
Richard was an extremely patient and supportive father and spouse with a passion for reading and playing softball. He and Karen enjoyed many vacations and other entertainment such as concerts, plays and dancing in NYC. He was always available to help others using his technical knowledge, sense of direction and DIY advice. Knowing almost all Jeopardy answers his daughter called often with random questions assured that her Dad would know. He always did. Erin’s most recent birthday present was her long awaited, impromptu wedding to Alex on July 8th.
Predeceased by his brother, John Johansen. Beloved husband of Karen (Wierzba) Johansen and loving father of Erin (Nugent) Johansen. of Patterson, NY.
A memorial will take place on Thursday Sept. 15 from 6:30-8:30 at Beecher Flooks Funeral Home, Pleasantville, NY. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Richard’s life. In lieu of flowers, please donate to www.petsforvets.com or a charity of your choice.
