Richard Ettinger, Sr.

Richard S. Ettinger, Sr.  "Dick" 92, formerly of Chagrin Falls and most recently a 15 year resident of Cuyahoga Falls, passed away peacefully on November 17, 2019.

Dick was a proud veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps having served during the Korean War.  He went on to work in the Lab at Chase Bag Co./Ivex for over 50 years.  Dick was active in local politics and served as an Assistant Scout Master for Boy Scouts of America.  He was an avid woodworker, enjoyed baking, and loved spending time with his family.

He is now reunited with his beloved wife, JoAnn (nee Stotlar); parents, Walter and Margaret Ettinger, and brother, Walt Ettinger.

Dick will be dearly missed by his son, Rich (Carole) Ettinger; cherished grandson, Aaron Ettinger; siblings, Betty Gifford and Frank Ettinger, and many loving nieces and nephews.
