It is with sorrowful hearts that we mourn the passing of our founder, friend, mentor and Lighthouse Keeper, Dick Daugird.
After a battle with cancer, Dick passed away peacefully Monday morning at his home in Galveston with his wife and family by his side.
Dick was a giant of a man with a heart to match. Dick’s commitment to community service shone brightly for decades throughout the Lighthouse Charity Team founded by him and his wife, Horacene. Dick’s passion for helping others in the community at times was a personal financial strain, but he always said, “There’s more to life than dollars and cents”.
Dick always had a welcoming smile, firm handshake and a willing ear to listen. He never met a stranger as he believed that “a stranger is someone that is not yet a friend”.
The family requests that donations be made in Dick’s honor to the Lighthouse Charity Team.
It is with the deepest respect and consideration for Dick’s family that we ask that everyone avoid personal phone calls to them at this time. If you have any questions, please contact us at 281-482-9400.
