Obituary of Dick Van Sise

SILVER LAKE - Dick Van Sise, 74, died March 4, 2012. Dick worked at Chrysler in Twinsburg and retired after 42 years of service. He will always be remembered as “Trapper Dick” to family and friends. He was an avid outdoorsman, fisherman and gardener. We will miss those wonderful tomatoes and vegetables he grew every year in his organic garden. He put up a good fight to the end, battling Alpha One liver and lung disease. Son of the late Dr. John and Charlene Van Sise and brother of the late Bill Van Sise, he leaves his wife of 53 years, Mary Lou (nee Vacha); children Kimberly Van Sise, Richard (Fiona) Van Sise, Lynette (Scott) Brinkerhoff and Mary (Scott) Haeberle; grandchildren Richie (Trista), Rachael, Brianna, Angelina DeRosa, Michael Van Sise, Mallory, Amber Myers, Ryan Edelstein, Andrew and Nicholas Brinkerhoff, Alexandria, Devin and Victoria Haeberle, Helaina and Fiona; great-grandchildren Owen, Mia, Jaeonna, Vera and Athena; siblings Jane Jeffery, Jack Van Sise and Dorothe Biro; many nieces and nephews; his beloved dog Suzy and his many hunting and fishing buddies. Per his wishes, cremation will take place and a private family memorial service will be held.
