Richard Alan McHose, Sr., age 71, of North Platte, NE, passed away at home surrounded by his loving family on Saturday, May 14, 2016.
Rick was born February 27, 1945, to Robert, Sr. and Helen McHose in West Reading, PA. He grew up in Berks County, PA until the family relocated to Dauphin, PA when Rick was 11. He graduated in 1963 from Central Dauphin High School in Harrisburg, PA.
In 1965 Rick joined the 193rd Special Operations Group of the Pennsylvania Air National Guard and served until he retired in 1994. Following his retirement, Rick worked for the Central Pennsylvania Blood Bank for eight years then retired in 2003.

Rick was a lifetime member of the 193rd S.O.W. as well as a member of the National Rifle Association and P.R. Halligan Post #163 American Legion.
