Richard "Dick" Wuebker, 78, passed peacefully on September 6, 2026.

He was born July 18, 1948, in Celina, Ohio, to Urban and Luella Wuebker and was the fourth of ten children. A graduate of Coldwater High School, Class of 1966, Dick attended Kent State before enlisting in the U.S. Air Force in 1968. He attended Vietnamese language school in Washington, D.C., and later served in Vietnam translating and decoding Viet Cong transmissions.

In 1973, Dick married his childhood friend and neighbor, Trish (Hammond). Together they built their life in the Dayton area. Dick enjoyed a successful 40-year career in real estate, owning several real estate companies and especially enjoying showing houses, meeting people, and helping them find the right home. Dick loved music, watching Jeopardy! and investigative dramas, playing euchre, traveling, and spending time with his family. He also had a lifelong love of animals and enjoyed the companionship of the many pets he had throughout the years.

He is survived by his wife, Trish; children Kristy, Rick and Katie Wuebker, and Karin (Joe) Schmidt; grandchildren Max and Calvin; siblings Marge (Paul) Steinke, Karen Calhoun, Nancy Kremer, and Mark Wuebker; sister-in-law Judy Wuebker; and sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law Marcia (Jay) Koepfle and Joe (Colleen) Hammond.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Urban and Luella Wuebker; siblings Larry Wuebker, Ginny (Floyd) Kaup, Beth Minnich, Garry Wuebker, and Lori (Dwayne) Brunswick; Karen's husband, Jeff Calhoun; and brother-in-law Mark Hammond and sister-in-law Jean Gruenhagen.

The family extends sincere thanks to the nurses, doctors, and staff at Mercer Health in Coldwater, St. Rita's Medical Center in Lima, and PAM Health Specialty Hospital of Dayton in Miamisburg for their kindness, compassion, and care.
