Charles Richard ‘Dick’ Alzheimer

Charles Richard “Dick” Alzheimer, 79, of Great Falls, Montana, passed away suddenly Oct. 26, 2015, with his loving wife, Judy, by his side.

Dick was born on Nov. 12, 1935. He married the love of his life, Judy Reeves, on July 21, 1955. Together they welcomed six children. The family moved to Palmer in 1969. Dick was employed by Alaska Sales and Service in Anchorage until 1978.

Racing was in his blood. Dick raced stock cars and top alcohol funny cars. His love of drag racing began in Palmer at the Polar Race Way. Many fond memories were built on that track and many good friends. Riding his Harley was another passion. Most of all, his family was his pride and joy.

Dick is survived by his wife of 60 years, Judy, of Great Falls, Montana; daughters, Marlas Prevo, of Winnemucca, Nevada, Lynne (Steve) Knutson of Palmer, Alaska, Diane Harrison, of Great Falls, Montana; and sons, Rick Alzheimer, of Great Falls, Montana, and Ron (Kelli) Alzheimer of Duvall, Washington; 18 grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.

He was preceded in death by his parents and daughter, Kari Sullivan.
