Richard Dale Drilling Obituary
We are sad to announce that, on February 17, 2025, at the age of 87, Richard Dale Drilling (Boise, Idaho) passed away. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid Richard Dale farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Richard Dale is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
He was predeceased by: his parents, Willard Dick Drilling and Marcella Young; and his half-sisters, Cindy Folkertsma and Crystal Forster. He is survived by: his wife Sandra Radwin; his children, Tim McCleary (Julie McCleary) and Shelby Drilling; his stepdaughter Dugan Radwin; and his grandsons, Mitch and Matthew McCleary. He is also survived by four great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Dale's memory to Conservation Force: A Force for Wildlife Conservation at http://www.conservationforce.org.
